JEHOVAH COMFORTS US-Conclusion

 Our brothers and sisters can provide us with additional comfort. How so? Consider the example of Helga, who lives in Hungary. For decades, she dealt with a variety of challenges that left her feeling desperate and worthless. But looking back, she can see how Jehovah comforted her through the congregation. She writes: " Jehovah has always helped me when saw that my strength was meager because of secular work, caring for my sick child and other trials. There has not been a day during the last 30 years that he has not kept his promise to comfort me. He often strengthens me through kind, thoughtful, and appreciative comments from others. I have often received a message, a card, or a word of commendation right when I needed it the most." 

We have the privilege of imitating our God by comforting others. How can we do so? We can listen to them patiently, speak with them consolingly and help them in practical way. (Proverbs 3:27) We endeavor to comfort all those who suffer, including those not yet serving God. When our neighbors experience grief, illness, or anxiety, we visit them, listen to them, and share encouraging passages from the Bible. When we imitate Jehovah, "the God of all comfort," we may not only help fellow believers to endure trials but also soften the hearts of unbelievers toward pure worship. - MATTHEW 5:16.
