WHEN YOU DOUBT THAT JEHOVAH IS INTERESTED IN YOU

 Have you ever wondered, 'Does Jehovah really notice me?' If you feel insignificant, the thought of becoming friends with the Creator of the universe could seem unrealistic, way beyond your reach.  A similar thought may have occurred to King David. He marveled that Jehovah was even aware of mere humans and asked: "O Jehovah, what is man that you should notice him, the son of mortal man that you should pay attention to him?"  (Psalm 144:3) Where can you turn to answer this question?


From the Bible, we learn that Jehovah notices those who seem unimportant to others. For example, Jehovah sent Samuel to the house of Jesse to anoint one of his eight sons to meet Samuel but did not include David, the youngest. Yet, it was David whom Jehovah chose. (Read 1 Samel 16:6, 7, 10-12.) Jehovah saw who David really was on the inside- a young man who valued spiritual things. 


Think about how Jehovah has already shown that he notices you. He offers to give you advice tailored to fit your needs. (Psalm 32:8) How can he do that unless he knows you well? (Psalm 139:1) When you apply Jehovah's advice and see how it helps you, you will become convinced that Jehovah is interested in you. (1 Chronicles 28:9; Acts 17:26, 27) Jehovah takes note of your efforts. He sees your inner qualities and is moved to reach out to you. He wants you to respond to his offer to be your Friend. -1 JOHN 4:19.
