IMITATE TIMOTHY - SHOW LOVING CONCERN FOR OTHERS - Conclusion

 A Brother named Woo Jae learned to show more personal interest in others. When he was a young adult, Woo Jae found it difficult to engage in older brothers and sisters in conversation. So he simply greeted them at the Kingdom Hall and walked away. An elder suggested that Woo Jae start conversations by telling his fellow believers what he appreciated about them. The elder also urged him to think about what the other person might be interested in. Woo Jae applied this advice in his interactions with others. And elder today, Woo Jae says: "I now find it easier to have meaningful conversations with people of different ages. I feel good knowing that I have a better understanding of other people's concerns. This has been very useful to me in helping mt fellow believers."

You young brothers can likewise learn to show personal interest in others. When at meetings, take an interest in individuals of different ages and backgrounds. Ask them how they are doing and then listen. In time, you may realize how you can help them. Perhaps you will learn that an older couple need help using the JW library app. Or you may learn that they do not have plans to work with anyone in the ministry. Could help such ones with their electronic devices or arrange to work with them in the preaching work? By taking the initiative to help others, you will set a fine example for all.
