"In Jehovah the God of Israel he trusted." (2 Ki. 18:5)
King Sennacherib of Assyria sent his representatives—including Rabshakeh—to Jerusalem along with a heavy military force. King Hezekiah of Judah went to the house of Jehovah and began praying: “O Jehovah our God, save us, please, out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you, O Jehovah, are God alone.” (2 Ki. 19:14-19) 
Hezekiah acted in harmony with his prayer. Even before going up to the temple to pray, he instructed the people not to respond to Rabshakeh’s taunts. Hezekiah also sent a delegation to Isaiah the prophet, seeking his advice. (2 Ki. 18:36; 19:1, 2) 
Hezekiah took steps that he could rightly take. He did not try to seek support from Egypt or from neighboring nations. Rather than lean upon his own understanding, Hezekiah trusted in Jehovah. After Jehovah’s angel struck down 185,000 of Sennacherib’s men, Sennacherib “pulled away” and returned to Nineveh.
(2 Ki. 19:35,36)

“Hey children of Panama!… Look what I have!! Wanna watch a cartoon?”
Jesus made children say “wow!” with miracles too….
Whatever it takes to reach their little hearts with the good news using modern retina displays and modern 3D touch technology.
I’m pretty sure he is using an Apple iOS
Back in the day we upgraded the wow factor for children by adding illustrations and color to our books.
Jehovah will take care of the physical needs of these poor children.

Give Comfort to Those Who Grieve - Their Cry He Will Hear! ~
(Psalm 145:19) "The desire of those fearing him he will perform, And their cry for help he will hear, and he will save them."
(Psalm) 145:19) NWT 2013
"He satisfies the desire of those who fear him; He hears their cry for help, and he rescues them."
With the Comfort God Gives
When we seek to comfort others, words of sympathy are certainly in order. We endeavor to convey to the grieving person by word and tone of voice that we deeply care about his situation. This is not accomplished by the use of hollow platitudes. 
The Bible tells us that “through our endurance and through the comfort from the Scriptures we might have hope.” (Romans 15:4)

"The Golden Rule"
“All things, therefore, that you want men to do to you, you also must likewise do to them.” (Matthew 7:12)
YES, the Originator of what Jesus taught, including what came to be known as the Golden Rule, is the one who sent Jesus, namely, the Creator, Jehovah God.
God originally purposed that all mankind treat one another as they would like to be treated. He set the finest example in expressing care for the welfare of others in the way he created humans: “God proceeded to create the man in his image, in God’s image he created him; male and female he created them.” (Genesis 1:27) 
This means that God lovingly endowed humans with a measure of his own outstanding qualities so that they could enjoy life in peace, happiness, and harmony—potentially forever. Their God-given conscience, when properly trained, would guide them to treat others the way they themselves would want to be treated.

ALBERT  EINSTEIN,  1921           
"Love is God and God is love"  -  in a letter from Albert Einstein to his daughter...
At the end of the 1980s, Albert Einstein's "lost daughter" handed over 1,400 letters from her father to Hebrew University on the condition that she should publish her at the earliest 20 years after her death.
This is an excerpt from a letter:
When I proposed the theory of relativity, very few understood me.
Which I will show you now, to transfer it to mankind will also
Misunderstandings and prejudices in the world.
I ask you nevertheless that you protect it all the time, which is necessary,
Years, decades until society is advanced enough to get what I want. Next, explain to you.
There is an extremely strong force, for which science has not yet been a formal one Explanation.
It is a force that includes and regulates all others
Which is even behind every phenomenon that is active in the universe and has not yet
Identified. This universal power is  LOVE.
If scientists were looking for a unified theory of the universe,
They forgot the invisible and most powerful of all powers.
Love is light, since it illuminates the one who gives it and receives it.
Love is power, because it makes some people turn to others
feel. Love is power because it increases and does not allow the best we have,
That humanity is extinguished by its blind egoism.
Love shows and is revealed. Love lives and dies through love.
Love is God and God is love
This power explains everything and gives meaning to life in uppercase letters.
This is the variable that we have ignored too long, perhaps because we are facing the
Love fear because it is the only power in the universe that man does not
Has learned to control according to his will.
To make love visible, I have a simple exchange in mine
Most famous equation. If we accept instead of E = mc², the
Accepting energy to heal the world through love, you can through love
Multiplied times the light speed high square to come to the conclusion,
That love is the most powerful force that exists because it has no limits.
After the failure of humanity in the use and control of the other forces
Of the universe that have turned against us, it is imperative that we ourselves
From a different kind of energy.
If we want our species to survive, when we find a meaning in life
If we want to save the world and all the sentient beings that inhabit them,
Love is the only and the last answer.
Perhaps we are not yet ready to make a bomb of love, an artifact,
Which is powerful enough, the total hatred, selfishness and greed that the planet
Perthrough; However, each individual carries in itself a small, but
Powerful generator of love whose energy is waiting to be freed.
When we learn to give Lieserl this universal energy to give and receive,
We will find that love transcends everything, transcends everything and
Everything can be, for love is the quintessence of life.
I deeply regret not having been able to express this,
Which contains my heart, which has quietly struck my whole life for you.
Maybe it's too late to apologize, but since the time is relative,
I must tell you that I love you and that I, thanks to you,
Until the last answer.
