You Can Trust Your Brothers - WE NEED OUR BROTH ERS AND SISTERS

Jehovah has chosen us to be part of his worldwide  family of worshippers.  Just think what a privilege that is and what benefits it brings! (Read Mark 10:29, 30)  Around the world, we have brothers and sisters who share our love for Jehovah and who try their best to live by his standards.  Our language, culture, and dress may be different from theirs, but we feel close to them, even when meeting them for the first time. We especially love to be with them to praise and worship our lovign heavenly Father. - PSALMS 133.

Now more than ever we need to remain united with our brothers and sisters.  At times, they help us to carry  out our burdens. (Romans 15:1; Galatians 6:2) They also encourage us to stay active in Jehovah's service and to keep spiritually strong. (1 Thessalonians 5:11; Hebrews 10:23-25)  Thonk how we would feel if we did not have the protection of the congregation to help us stand firm against our common enemies-Satan the Devil and his wicked world. Satan and those whome he controls will soon attack God's servants.  Imagine how grateful we will be to have our brothers and siststers by our side!

Some, however, find it difficult to trust their brothers and sisters, possibly because a fellow believer betrayed a confidence or failed to keep a promise. Or perhaps someone in the congregation said or did something that hurt them deeply.  Such experiences may make it difficult to trust others.  What, then, can help us to build trust in our fellow worshippers?
