    Approach the throne of undeserved kindness with freeness of speech.—Heb. 4:16.
    Jehovah in his undeserved kindness grants us the blessing of approaching his heavenly throne in prayer. He has afforded us this privilege through his Son, “by means of whom we have this freeness of speech and free access with confidence through our faith in him.” (Eph. 3:12) Free access to Jehovah in prayer is indeed a wonderful expression of his undeserved kindness. Paul encouraged us to approach Jehovah freely in prayer, “so that we may receive mercy and find undeserved kindness to help us at the right time.” (Heb. 4:16b) At any time that we are plagued with trials or turmoil in our life, we can cry out to Jehovah for his merciful help. Undeserving as we are, he answers our call, often through fellow Christians, “so that we may be of good courage and say: ‘Jehovah is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?’”—Heb. 13:6. w16.07 3:12, 13

    Blanchie DeGrate reacted to Queen Esther in Photo for today.... Mark 13:33. Saturday, June 9. 2018   
    Keep looking, keep awake, for you do not know when the appointed time is.—Mark 13:33.
    As Jehovah’s Witnesses, we take seriously Jesus’ warning. We know that we are living deep in “the time of the end” and that there cannot be much time left before the “great tribulation” begins! (Dan. 12:4; Matt. 24:21) We see distressing wars, increasing immorality and lawlessness, religious confusion, food shortages, pestilences, and earthquakes taking place around the world. We know that a phenomenal Kingdom-preaching work is being accomplished by Jehovah’s people everywhere. (Matt. 24:7, 11, 12, 14; Luke 21:11) We eagerly anticipate what the Lord’s coming will mean for us and for the accomplishment of God’s purpose. (Mark 13:26, 27) However, try as hard as we might, we cannot pinpoint the exact year, much less day and hour, when the great tribulation will begin. w16.07 2:2-4

    I too will miss your perspective on many things. I have shared them with my congregation because they have not seen or thought as you have. That is why there is 8. so many of us, 'unified' not uniformed of a people in this faith. We are all on the same transportation ride to the exact same destination, to eternal life under perfect theocratic sovereignty with Jehovah as One to everyone as he was in the very beginning before Adam sinned. Then each of us can make the choice as they did, do we want to stay, or follow after Satan.
    But now we need all of us, really, we do. We have barriers that we have to tear down now, because we are a 'human race' a family belonging to Jehovah God. We have never had to think like that. Truly brothers and sisters common on all levels and loving each other for no other reason than to gain a smile and hug! For no evil will not exist any more after Satan is destroyed. Earth will be fill with the knowledge of Jehovah. Man, I can't wait. Take care and agape! You will be missed from this home site, I personally will miss you. ???????

    Blanchie DeGrate reacted to Queen Esther in Photo for today.... Matt. 18:4. Thursday, June 7. 2018   
    Whoever will humble himself like this young child is the one who is the greatest in the Kingdom of the heavens.—Matt. 18:4.
    Most young children are eager to learn, and they tend to be humble. (Matt. 18:1-3) Accordingly, wise parents can strive to inculcate knowledge of the truth and love for it in the minds and hearts of their little ones. (2 Tim. 3:14, 15) Of course, to succeed, the parents must first impress the truth on their own hearts, making the truth their way of life. When parents do this, their children not only hear the truth but also experience it. Moreover, they learn to view parental discipline as an expression of love that reflects JehovahÂ’s love. When we humbly submit to Jehovah and make such submission our way of life, he will view us as very precious, just as he did the prophet Daniel. (Dan. 10:11, 19) What is more, Jehovah will continue to mold us by means of his Word, spirit, and organization. w16.06 2:14, 17

    Those whom Jehovah loves he disciplines, in fact, he scourges everyone whom he receives as a son.—Heb. 12:6.
    You may have heard someone say something like this, ‘I never fully appreciated the discipline that I received from my parents until I had children of my own.’ When we gain more experience in life, we may see discipline in a new light and start to view it as Jehovah does, as a manifestation of love. (Heb. 12:5, 11) Yes, out of love for his children, Jehovah patiently molds us. He wants us to be wise and happy and to love him in return. (Prov. 23:15) He takes no pleasure in our suffering; nor does he want us to die as “children of wrath,” which is the prospect inherited from Adam. (Eph. 2:2, 3) As “children of wrath,” we once displayed many qualities that displease God, perhaps even some beastlike traits! Yet, thanks to Jehovah’s molding, we changed; we became more like lambs.—Isa. 11:6-8; Col. 3:9, 10. w16.06 1:7, 8

    Make disciples of people of all the nations.—Matt. 28:19.
    Jesus described the scope of the preaching work by saying that the good news would be preached “in all the inhabited earth.” (Matt. 24:14) Disciples are to be made “of people of all the nations.” That entails a global work. To understand how Jehovah’s Witnesses have fulfilled Jesus’ prophecy with regard to the scope of the preaching work, let us consider some facts. There are approximately 600,000 members of the clergy in the various denominations in the United States, where there are some 1,200,000 Witnesses of Jehovah. Worldwide, the Roman Catholic Church has a little over 400,000 priests. Now consider the number of Witnesses involved in the Bible-based Kingdom-preaching work. Worldwide, some eight million volunteer ministers preach to people in 240 lands. What an amazing work is being accomplished, all to Jehovah’s praise and glory!—Ps. 34:1; 51:15. w16.05 2:13, 14

    A man prone to anger stirs up strife; anyone disposed to rage commits many transgressions.—Prov. 29:22.
    The world abounds with people and societies motivated by a spirit of independence that fosters pride, egotism, and rivalry. Anyone who allows himself to be swept along by this spirit is, in effect, accepting Satan’s argument that it is the course of wisdom to pursue one’s own interests regardless of how doing so may affect others. (Gen. 3:1-5) Such a selfish course leads to strife. In contrast, Jesus taught people to seek peace, even if such a course would seem detrimental to their own interests. In his Sermon on the Mount, Jesus gave excellent advice about handling disagreements or potential conflicts. For instance, he urged his disciples to be mild-tempered, to be peacemakers, to eliminate causes for anger, to settle matters quickly, and to love their enemies.—Matt. 5:5, 9, 22, 25, 44. w16.05 1:4, 5

    I have the desire to do what is fine but not the ability to carry it out.—Rom. 7:18.
    Many of us had to make significant changes prior to our baptism in order to bring our life into harmony with the Bible’s basic requirements. After baptism, we discerned the need to continue making changes—more subtle ones—so as to imitate God and Christ more closely. (Eph. 5:1, 2; 1 Pet. 2:21) For instance, we may have noted in ourselves a critical spirit, a fear of man, a tendency toward harmful gossip, or some other weakness. Has making progress in this regard proved to be harder than we expected? Remember, we are still imperfect. (Col. 3:9, 10) It is therefore unrealistic to expect that after baptism—or even after many years in the truth—we will no longer make mistakes, experience setbacks, or be troubled with wrong motives and inclinations. Certain tendencies might persist for years.—Jas. 3:2. w16.05 4:3-5

    Let the one who has an ear hear what the spirit says to the congregations.—Rev. 2:7.
    Jesus leads the Christian congregation by means of holy spirit. We need holy spirit to help us resist temptation, to embolden and equip us for the ministry, and to enable us to make sound decisions. Should we not take advantage of every provision—including congregation meetings—to receive that spirit? At many of our meetings, we review the fulfillment of Bible prophecy. As a result, we reinforce our conviction that Jehovah’s promises for the future will likewise be fulfilled. Of course, it is not just those who speak from the platform who encourage us. Fellow Christians who offer comments and sing from the heart also build us up. (1 Cor. 14:26) And when we converse with our brothers and sisters before and after the meetings, we feel a sense of belonging and enjoy true refreshment.—1 Cor. 16:17, 18. w16.04 3:6, 7

    *The  Lifebag*.....
    The sun slowly
    Graded, it goes out,
    Man is defective,
    He can not win!
    Death is "law"
    For "sin,"
    The man chooses,
    "Being a clean man!
    Death is law,
    Hereditary!
    Man understands,
    How he wants to die!
    Die in peace,
    With His Father,
    A friend does,
    JAH God!
    Then he goes out,
    Go to Jehovah!
    Satan defeats,
    And the pagan world!
    Then he defeats,
    The state of sin,
    And in death he gets hot,
    With "ALL HIGH"!
    Then he does not lose,
    No day of life!
    The green paradise,
    He is waiting for him in front!
    Then he defeats,
    Death that takes him away!
    With "JAH getting hot"
    For "good days"!
    He, from sleep, rises,
    As a young gentleman,
    Without any illness,
    Like a towering tree!
    "The Lifebag"
    He's at the JAH in his hand,
    The source of youth
    Eternal fountain!
    Your life is tight,
    In a "bag"
    The world is defeated,
    You ... you're clever man!
    To Jehovah, cry,
    Do not be stupid!
    Life wins you!
    Put it in your sachet!
    Jehovah is waiting for you:
    "Open Sachet"!
    Be, mind wise,

    I will offer that one up as a burnt offering.—Judg. 11:31.
    Jephthah had no other child; his daughter was his only hope for a descendant, someone to carry on his name and his inheritance in Israel. (Judg. 11:34) Nevertheless, Judges 11:35 concludes with Jephthah saying: “I have opened my mouth to Jehovah, and I am unable to turn back.” His faithfulness even at great personal cost brought him God’s approval and blessing. Would you have made the same choice? When we dedicated our lives to Jehovah, we vowed that we would do his will unreservedly. We knew that living up to that promise would require self-sacrifice. However, our willingness is especially put to the test when we are asked to do things that are not initially to our liking. When we make such sacrifices and serve God in a way that takes us out of our comfort zone, we prove ourselves faithful. The resulting blessings are always far greater than any sacrifices we may make, painful as they may be.—Mal. 3:10. w16.04 1:11, 14, 15
