Queen Esther

Jehovah . . . has chosen you to become his people, his special property.—Deut. 7:6. This was not an arbitrary choice. Jehovah was being true to a promise that he had made centuries earlier to his friend Abraham. (Gen. 22:15-18) Furthermore, Jehovah always exercises his freedom in harmony with his attributes of love and justice. This is evident in the way he disciplined the Israelites, who repeatedly abandoned true worship. When they expressed heartfelt repentance, Jehovah willingly extended love and mercy, saying: “I will heal their unfaithfulness. I will love them of my own free will.” (Hos. 14:4) What a fine example of using his freedom for the benefit of others! When Jehovah began his creative works, he lovingly chose to bestow free will on his intelligent creatures. The first one to receive this gift was his firstborn Son, “the image of the invisible God.” (Col. 1:15) Even before coming to earth, Jesus chose to remain loyal to his Father and not join Satan in his rebellion. w17.01 2:3, 4 https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2018/6/24

So many generations..... So many generations Lord, They have gone down on this earth, And spring, winter and autumn, And the evil man and the holy man! And everyone in freedom, He honored you, or He rejected you, You being love and justice, You guided him to Paradise ! Only "the god of this world, The note always forces, Like the ugly plague, He is a devil, a satan and a god! If he wants aggression or he does not want, Say a word from the people The forced man is to drink it, Satan forms an ax! So many generations, world, Or broke out of the world and they were extinguished, And so many renowned people, Cold death defeated him! But to Jehovah, death does not, Not to say the slightest word! Is not Jehovah lifting up, All the world's deaths in the earth? In his infinite power, Satan is pulled to the abyss! We are around an era, With holy people in Paradise! (Author unknown )

A comment: That's so true, you can also pray to him anywhere anytime. Thank you father Jehovah for everything

Be brave and strong! If it were just ice mountains Let our thoughts darken, Let's love "eternal life" Let's win with love! If it were only stone mountains, Let our eyes disturb us, Let's love a lot of art, Let's win with love! If it were only stone mountains, To block our path, Pray, please, forgive, And defeat desperation! If it were like the whole system, Satan to oppose, To defeat all the curse, With His love IAH, good! If, it would be like everything, Stay in our way, hard, Let's love to death, IAH with a pure soul! If you were to give your breath, Last on this earth! Even in the final extinction, Love Jehovah, Holy One! ( Author unknown )

Throw your burden on Jehovah, and he will sustain you.—Ps. 55:22. How comforting it is for us to ‘throw our burden on Jehovah,Â’ knowing that ‘he will sustain usÂ’! We can have full confidence that God can do “more than superabundantly beyond all the things we ask or conceive.” (Eph. 3:20) Imagine that—not just abundantly and not superabundantly but “more than superabundantly”! To receive the reward, we need to exercise full faith in Jehovah and be obedient to his directions. Moses told the nation of Israel: “Jehovah will surely bless you in the land that Jehovah your God is giving you to possess as an inheritance, but only if you strictly obey the voice of Jehovah your God and carefully observe all this commandment that I am giving you today. For Jehovah your God will bless you just as he has promised you.” (Deut. 15:4-6) Do you have full confidence that Jehovah will bless you if you continue to serve him faithfully? You certainly have good reason for such confidence. w16.12 4:8, 9 https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2018/6/23

Setting the mind on the flesh means enmity with God, for it is not in subjection to the law of God.—Rom. 8:7. Self-examination is important. Why? Paul wrote: “Setting the mind on the flesh means death.” (Rom. 8:6) That is serious—spiritual death now and physical death in the future. Still, Paul did not mean that if someone began to ‘set the mind on the flesh’ his end unavoidably would be death. Change is possible. Think of the immoral man in Corinth who went after “the flesh” and had to be disfellowshipped. Yet, he could and did change. He ceased to walk after the flesh and returned to a straight path. (2 Cor. 2:6-8) If it was possible for that person to change, it is possible for a Christian today to change, especially one who has not gone after the flesh as far as the man in Corinth had. Certainly, Paul’s warning about the possible final outcome for someone who ‘sets his or her mind on the flesh’ should be a stimulus to Christians to make any needed changes! w16.12 2:5, 12, 13 https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2018/6/22

Through one man sin entered into the world.—Rom. 5:12. Adam was the “one man” through whom sin and death “entered into the world.” Thus “by the trespass of the one man death ruled as king.” Paul added that “the abundance of [GodÂ’s] undeserved kindness” came about “through the one person, Jesus Christ.” (Rom. 5:12, 15, 17) And that undeserved kindness has resulted in good for all mankind. “Through the obedience of the one person [Jesus] many will be made righteous.” Actually, GodÂ’s undeserved kindness can lead to “everlasting life through Jesus Christ.” (Rom. 5:19, 21) Jehovah was not obliged to have his Son come to earth to provide the ransom. Moreover, imperfect, sinful humans did not of themselves merit, or deserve, what God and Jesus did in providing a ransom by which forgiveness was possible. So our being forgiven and offered the prospect of living forever is truly a kindness that is undeserved. We should highly value the gift of GodÂ’s undeserved kindness and let it affect our life daily. w16.12 1:1, 6, 7 https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2018/6/21

Whoever is for the captivity, to the captivity!—Jer. 15:2. In 607 B.C.E., a massive Babylonian army under the command of King Nebuchadnezzar II invaded the city of Jerusalem. Regarding the bloodbath that followed, the Bible says: “[Nebuchadnezzar] killed their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary; he felt no compassion for young man or virgin, old or infirm. . . . He burned down the house of the true God, tore down the wall of Jerusalem, burned all its fortified towers with fire, and destroyed everything of value.” (2 Chron. 36:17, 19) The destruction of Jerusalem should have come as no surprise to its inhabitants. For years, GodÂ’s prophets had warned the Jews that if they continued to disregard GodÂ’s Law, they would be delivered into the hands of the Babylonians. Many Jews would die by the edge of the sword; any who escaped death would likely have to spend the rest of their lives in exile in Babylon. w16.11 4:1, 2 https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2018/6/20
