CONTINUE SERVING JEHOVAH - Conclusion

 Some feel that serving Jehovah involves too much sacrifice. If you are young, do you feel that you may be losing out on something if you serve Jehovah? One young brother named Gene says:  "I felt that being one of Jehovah's Witnesses was restrictive. It seemed that many of the kids I grew up with enjoyed things like partying, dating, or playing violent video games, while I had to spend my time at meetings and in the ministry." How did this thinking affect Gene? "I started living a double life," he says, "and for a while I had fun. But it didn't bring me any lasting happiness. I began to think about Bible truths I had chosen to ignore and decided to serve Jehovah wholeheartedly. Ever since then. it seems that Jehovah has responded to every one of my prayers.

A psalmist sang to Jehovah: "Happy is the one whom you choose and bring near to reside in your courtyards." (Psalm 65:4) May we keep the same resolve that Joshua expressed: "As for me and my household, we will serve Jeh0vah." - JOSHUA 24:15.
