There is more happiness in giving than there is in receiving.—Acts 20:35.
For some 15 years, Timothy stuck with Paul. Timothy witnessed firsthand the formation of new congregations as the good news spread to almost all of the northern Mediterranean area. His life was more thrilling and satisfying than it would have been had he chosen to live a “normal” life. By pursuing spiritual goals, you too will reap priceless spiritual blessings. You will draw close to Jehovah and earn the love and respect of fellow Christians. You will enjoy the genuine happiness that comes from unselfish giving. Most precious of all, you will “get a firm hold on the real life”—eternal life on a paradise earth. (1 Tim. 6:9, 10, 17-19) So begin immediately to train yourself with godly devotion as your aim. Make regular personal study of God’s Word a priority. Be determined to resist the materialistic spirit of this world. w07 5/1 3:20, 21 |
