How are we personally involved in contributing to this unity? By being peacemakers. (Matthew 5:9; Romans 12:18) Each time we take the initiative to promote peaceful relations with others in the congregation, we add to the beauty of the spiritual paradise. We keep in mind that Jehovah has drawn each of the inhabitants of the spiritual paradise to pure worship. (John 6:44) Imagine how happy Jehovah must be when he sees us working hard to strengthen the peace and unity among those whom he views as precious-his servants! - ISAIAH 26:3; Haggai 2:7.
How can we benefit to the full from the blessings that we receive as God's servants? We can think deeply about what we study in God's Word and in our Bible-based publications. Such study and meditation will help us to cultivate Christian qualities that move us to show "brotherly love" and "tender affection for one another" in the congregation. (Romans 12:10) As we meditate on our current blessings, we strengthen our relationship with Jehovah. And meditating on the blessings that Jehovah has store for us will keep the hope of serving him forever very real to us. All of this will contribute to our joy of serving Jehovah now.
