Song 65  “This Is the Way” — Special Musical Video Presentation
(Isaiah 30:20, 21)
1. There is a way of peace,
The way you’ve come to know.
It is the way you learned,
The way of long ago,
The way that Jesus taught you
When his voice you heard.
This is the way of peace,
Found in Jehovah’s Word.
(CHORUS)
This is the Way to life; This is the Way.
Don’t look aside; Not for a moment stray!
God’s voice is calling: ‘This is the Way;
Do not look back, for yes, This is the Way.’
2. There is a way of love,
No need to look around.
God’s voice has shown the way
He lets himself be found.
His love is full and good;
His love is warm and true.
This is the way of love;
It touches all we do.
(CHORUS)
This is the Way to life; This is the Way.
Don’t look aside; Not for a moment stray!
God’s voice is calling: ‘This is the Way;
Do not look back, for yes, This is the Way.’
3. There is a way of life,
No need to look behind.
Our God has promised us:
No better way we’ll find,
No higher way to peace,
No finer way to love.
This is the way to life,
Thanks to our God above.
(CHORUS)
This is the Way to life; This is the Way.
Don’t look aside; Not for a moment stray!
God’s voice is calling: ‘This is the Way;
Do not look back, for yes, This is the Way.’
(See also Ps. 32:8; 139:24; Prov. 6:23.)

Oh....  how  nice !   I  love  you  my  Sister ❤  The  best  choice  you  make

BRAZIL  -  Reading,  writing  &  learning  the  Bible.  Really  not  so  easy  for  all  humans !
But  Jehovah  is  helping,  yes 
 

@Kurt  Yes, nice dresses are beautiful...  but not all Brothers / Sisters have enough money for that.   Jehovah is thinking different, HE is loving first our good heart? We learn an importend story of the poor widow in our Bible.
We have a poor, older Bible student in our Congregation. He got step by step alot nice clothes from Brothers. Before some months he stopped with smoking. That are the priority things, Jehovah is full of joy, I think 
 

Beloved ones, if this is how God loved us, then we are also under obligation to love one another.—1 John 4:11.
http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2017/2/22
We cannot properly accept God’s love without recognizing our obligation to love our brothers. (1 John 3:16) How can we demonstrate our love in practical ways? Consider the example of Jesus. During his earthly ministry, he gave special attention to lowly ones. He reached out to those with physical infirmities—the lame, the blind, the deaf, and the speechless. (Matt. 11:4, 5) Jesus took pleasure in teaching spiritually hungry ones, those who were viewed by the Jewish religious leaders as “accursed people.” (John 7:49) He loved these lowly ones and worked hard to minister to them. (Matt. 20:28) Can you consider the brothers and sisters in your own congregation? No doubt you will see some who could benefit from your love. Perhaps there are elderly ones who need help. We must let God’s love move us to reach out and express our love for our brothers. w16.01 2:12-14

Be Determined to “Let Your Brotherly Love Continue”...
The desolating of [Jerusalem] has drawn near.—Luke 21:20.
http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2017/2/21
Seeing Jerusalem “surrounded by encamped armies,” just as Jesus had prophesied, Christians in Judea, and especially those living in Jerusalem, had to act decisively. Jesus had warned them that they would need to flee as soon as they saw these events start to unfold. (Luke 21:21-24) In the 28 years since Jesus had uttered that prophecy, the faithful Jewish Christians living in Israel had already faced much opposition and persecution successfully. (Heb. 10:32-34) Yet, Paul knew that they were about to be confronted with one of the most challenging tests of their faith. (Matt. 24:20, 21; Heb. 12:4) He wanted them to be prepared for whatever might come their way. They would need exceptional endurance and faith—faith strong enough to preserve their lives. (Heb. 10:36-39) So Paul was prompted by Jehovah’s spirit to write those dear brothers and sisters a letter designed to meet their special needs. That letter is now known as the book of Hebrews. w16.01 1:1, 2

Advise [them] . . . to love their children.—Titus 2:4.
http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2017/2/18
Jesus did not hesitate to tell his disciples that he loved them. (John 15:9) He also showed his love by closely and regularly associating with his disciples. (Mark 6:31, 32; John 2:2; 21:12, 13) Similarly, tell your children that you love them, and regularly show them how much they mean to you. (Prov. 4:3) Samuel, who lives in Australia, says: “When I was very young, Dad used to read My Book of Bible Stories to me every evening. He would answer my questions, hug me, and kiss me good-night. What a surprise when I later discovered that Dad was not raised in a family where hugs and kisses were common! Yet, he made a real effort to express his love for me. As a result, I developed a strong bond with him, and I felt contented and secure.” Help your children to feel that way by often telling them “I love you.” Show your affection for your children. Talk with them, eat with them, play with them. w15 11/15 1:3, 4

Do You “Love Your Neighbor as Yourself”?

Let your words always be gracious, seasoned with salt.—Col. 4:6.
http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2017/2/17
In our preaching work, we meet with varied responses—some favorable, some hostile. Regardless of how people react, however, God’s Word shows the standard that his servants must maintain. When we make a defense before everyone who demands of us a reason for our hope, we do so “with a mild temper and deep respect” because we are motivated by neighbor love. (1 Pet. 3:15) We show love of neighbor even if our message is rejected by an angry householder who berates us. We imitate Jesus: “When he was being insulted, he did not insult in return. When he was suffering, he did not threaten, but he entrusted himself to the One [Jehovah] who judges righteously.” (1 Pet. 2:23) Whether we are with fellow believers or others, we show humility and apply the counsel: “Do not pay back injury for injury or insult for insult. Instead, repay with a blessing.”—1 Pet. 3:8, 9. w15 11/15 4:17, 18

God is love.—1 John 4:8.
http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2017/2/16
Love is God’s dominant quality, his most important one. Jehovah does not just possess love—he is the personification of it. How wonderful it is to know that the Creator of the universe and of all living things is a God of love! Everything he does is guided by that quality. The warm, benevolent affection that God has for his creatures assures us that all his purposes for the human family will be fulfilled in the best possible way and will result in the greatest benefit to all who come under his rulership. For example, out of love Jehovah “has set a day on which he purposes to judge the inhabited earth in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed,” Jesus Christ. (Acts 17:31) We can be confident that this will come to pass. For rightly disposed and obedient humans, favorable judgment will result in a truly blessed future that will go on and on throughout all eternity. w15 11/15 3:1, 2

Serve Jehovah Without Distraction
Man, who appointed me judge or arbitrator between you two?—Luke 12:14.
http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2017/2/15
Many things happened during Jesus’ ministry that could have distracted him, but he never succumbed to them. Early in his ministry, after he had taught the crowds and performed miracles in Capernaum, people begged him not to leave their city. But how did Jesus react to this flattering request? He said: “I must also declare the good news of the Kingdom of God to other cities, because for this I was sent.” (Luke 4:42-44) True to his word, Jesus walked the length and breadth of Palestine, preaching and teaching. Though perfect, he had normal human needs and sometimes felt very tired because of expending himself in God’s service. (Luke 8:23; John 4:6) On a later occasion while Jesus was teaching his followers how to cope with opposition, a man interrupted, saying: “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.” But Jesus refused to be drawn into this dispute.—Luke 12:13-15. w15 10/15 3:10, 11

The Librarian: Jehovah has control! Soon they will pay for their part of making His people reproached for showing love and helping others learn about our wonderful Creator, Jehovah God.

My ears have heard about you, but now I do see you with my eyes.—Job 42:5.
http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2017/2/14
What are some reasons why we may not clearly see God’s hand in our affairs? Life’s challenges can overwhelm us. When this happens, we may forget to keep focused on how Jehovah has already helped us. When Queen Jezebel threatened the prophet Elijah’s life, even Elijah momentarily forgot how God had acted in his behalf. Regarding Elijah, the Bible says: “He asked that he might die.” (1 Ki. 19:1-4) What was the solution to Elijah’s problem? He needed to look to Jehovah for encouragement. (1 Ki. 19:14-18) Job also got so distracted by his own concerns that he neglected to see things from God’s viewpoint. (Job 42:3-6) Like Job, we may need to put forth greater effort to see God. How can we do that? In the light of the Scriptures, we need to meditate on what is happening around us. As we become aware of how Jehovah supports us, he will become more real to us. w15 10/15 1:15, 16

How Can We Show That We Love Jehovah?


We love, because [God] first loved us.—1 John 4:19.
http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2017/2/13
In what way has God “first loved us”? The apostle Paul said: “God recommends his own love to us in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” (Rom. 5:8) Love is Jehovah’s dominant attribute, so we can understand why Jesus told one inquirer that the first commandment from God is: “You must love Jehovah your God with your whole heart and with your whole soul and with your whole mind and with your whole strength.” (Mark 12:30) From Jesus’ words, we learn that love for God involves, first of all, our heart. Being halfhearted is displeasing to Jehovah. However, we note that love for God also involves our whole soul, mind, and strength. This means that genuine love for God is much more than just an emotional feeling of the heart. In addition to being heartfelt, our love for God must involve all our spiritual and physical faculties. According to the prophet Micah, that is what Jehovah wants from us.—Mic. 6:8. w15 9/15 5:1-3

Η ζωή είναι μια παραλία στο γιοτ …τροπικό νησί  ---
Το σκάφος μοιάζει με απομονωμένο, ηφαιστειογενές νησί, με τις τροπικές παραλίες του και καλύβες που μπορούν να φιλοξενήσουν έως δέκα άτομα. Το σχεδίασε η βρετανική εταιρεία Yacht Island Deigns.
Στο κύριο κατάστρωμα υπάρχει ένας ορμίσκος με μια πισίνα που έχει θέα στον ωκεανό, στην οποία καταλήγει το νερό από έναν καταρράκτη.
Το σκάφος… «συνοδεύουν» μια σειρά νησάκια, όπου οι επισκέπτες μπορούν να χαλαρώσουν!
Η σουίτα των ιδιοκτητών βρίσκεται μέσα στο ηφαίστειο και εκτείνεται σε δύο καταστρώματα, ενώ υπάρχουν ακόμη τέσσερις VIP σουίτες με ιδιωτικά μπαλκόνια και πρόσβαση στο κύριο κατάστρωμα.
