Today, elders too can be certain that Jehovah sees and values their fine work. In addition to shepherding, teaching, and preaching, many elders support construction projects and disaster relief efforts. Others serve on Patient Visitation Groups or Hospital Liaison Committees. Elders who make themselves available for such work see the congregation as Jehovah's arrangement, not as man-made institution. As a result, they are whole-souled in their assignments and have full trust that God will reward them for what they do. -COLOSSIANS 3:23. 24.
Not all can be elders. But all of us have something to offer Jehovah. Our God appreciates it when we do our best to serve him. He notices our contributions to the worldwide work, no matter how modest. He is pleased when we work hard to overcome our shyness and raise our hand to comment at meetings, and he rejoices when we overlook an offense and extend forgiveness. Even if you feel that you cannot do as much as you would like, trust that Jehovah values what you can do. He loves you for it, and he will reward you. - LUKE 21:1-4.
