WHY WE CHOOSE TO SERVE JEHOVAH - Continue

 While still very young, we can develop a deep love for Jehovah, a love that will keep burning as we grow old. Note the example of two fleshly sisters named Jane and Pam.   They were 11 and 10 years old respectively when they first started studying the Bible. Though their parents were not interested in studying, they gave Pam and Jane permission to associate with the Witnesses as long as the girls attended church services with the family on the weekend.  "What the Witnesses taught me from the Bible," says Jane, "helped me to resist the pressure from my peers to get involved in drugs and immorality." 

When they reached their late teens, both girls became publishers. Later, they entered pioneer service while caring for their aging parents. Looking back on their experience, Jane says "I learned firsthand that Jehovah faithfully cares for his friends and that, as   2 Timothy says, 'Jehovah knows those who belong to him." There is no doubt that Jehovah cares for those who choose to love and serve him!
