Heavy  Fog......
 I drove quite early in the morning on the highway. On the horizon was the first morning light to see. Then, suddenly I  saw bottom and fog. He lay like a veil in these bottoms.  It was not clear whether there was a misty ground or a meadow under this veil,  whether there was a way, fences, ditches, or pools.
In some people there is such a veil on the heart. Among the Israelis, for example, so. In his second epistle to the Corinthians,  Paul wrote about it in the third chapter in verse 15 ...
"Yes, to this day, whenever Moses is read,  there is a veil on her heart"
How did it happen?   In the verse before, Paul said ....   "But her mind was dulled ....
How is that with us?  Can others recognize what our heart beats for? Or is there so a little veil about it?  Light floor mist?  If so, how do you get rid of the veil?  In verse 16 ...  "But when a repentance comes to Jehovah,  the veil is taken away."  Ah, we have all been behind us.  We are the other way round and have given ourselves to Jehovah. This is a matter of  heart.  But how can others see this?  This is the story of the Apostles  -
(Acts 4:13) 13 And when they saw the frankness of Peter and Johnesnes, and saw that they were unlearned and ordinary men, they wondered. And they began to recognize them as those who had been with Jesus;
That is interesting. They began to be recognized as those who had been with Jesus. How?  Through their frank expressions. It was what they had in their hearts.  And when the heart is full,   then ......
Nor should we forget that this is a compassionate act of Jehovah to let us do this ministry. But tell me, is that sooo easy?  Who has not said before, when he met the truth:  "Well,  I will do everything, but from house to house, I can't go.  I have no strength for that. "
And then we have entered what we have described in 2 Cor. (2 Corinthians 4: 7)  7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the power which goes beyond the normal,  be God,  and not that of ourselves.
Therefore  dear  Brothers  and  Sisters....   let us continue to rely on Jehovah.  HE will keep his word,  if we do.

Der heilige Geist hat euch zu Aufsehern ernannt, um die Versammlung Gottes zu hüten (Apg. 20:28)
http://wol.jw.org/de/wol/dt/r10/lp-x/2016/8/10
Es ist wichtig, zu schätzen, wie Jehova seine Herde hüten lässt. Jehova hat für Älteste gesorgt, denen unser Wohl immer am Herzen liegt. Sie sind „wie ein Bergungsort vor dem Wind und ein Versteck vor dem Regensturm . . ., wie Wasserbäche in einem wasserlosen Land, wie der Schatten eines wuchtigen zerklüfteten Felsens in einem erschöpften Land“ (Jes. 32:1, 2). Schätzen wir nicht alle bei Sturm und Regen eine geschützte Stelle oder bei brennender Sonne einen schattigen Platz? Wie diese Vergleiche nahelegen, bieten Älteste nötige geistige Hilfe und Ermunterung. Sie übernehmen die Führung unter uns. Warum gehorchen wir ihnen? Weil wir diese „Gaben in Form von Menschen“ schätzen und Gott und Christus, das Haupt der Versammlung, lieben (Eph. 4:8; 5:23; Heb. 13:17). w14 15. 6. 1:19

Una lengua apacible puede quebrar un hueso (Prov. 25:15).
https://wol.jw.org/es/wol/dt/r4/lp-s/2017/6/1
Aun si alguien nos dice algo ofensivo, las palabras amables y bien pensadas pueden aliviar la tensión (Prov. 15:1). En una congregación, una madre soltera tenía un hijo adolescente que estaba llevando una doble vida. Una hermana le dijo sin malas intenciones: “¡Qué lástima que no lo hayas sabido educar!”. ¿Cómo cree que reaccionó la madre? Se detuvo a pensar antes de hablar y dijo: “Es cierto que mi hijo no está tan bien como yo quisiera, pero aún no he terminado mi trabajo. ¿Por qué no hablamos después del Armagedón? Entonces veremos el resultado”. Esta respuesta tan calmada no solo ayudó a la madre a mantener la paz con la otra hermana, sino que hizo recapacitar a su hijo, que alcanzó a escuchar la conversación. Al darse cuenta de que su madre no lo había dado por perdido, tomó la decisión de dejar sus malas amistades. Con el tiempo se bautizó y sirvió por un tiempo en Betel. Sea que hablemos con nuestros hermanos, con la familia o con desconocidos, asegurémonos de que a nuestras palabras nunca les falte su pizca de sal (Col. 4:6). w15 15/12 3:15, 17
 

A gentle tongue can break a bone.—Prov. 25:15.
https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2017/6/1
Even when someone says something offensive, responding with gracious words can have positive results. (Prov. 15:1) For example, the teenage son of a single mother was leading a double life. A well-meaning Christian sister said to the mother: “It’s too bad you have failed at child training.” The mother thought for a moment and responded: “It’s true that things are not going well right now, but his training is a work in progress. Talk to me after Armageddon; then we will know for sure.” This mild response helped to maintain peace between the sisters, and it encouraged the son, who overheard the conversation. He realized that his mother had not given up on him. This moved him to stop his bad associations. In time, he got baptized, and he later served at Bethel. Whether in the company of our brothers, our family, or strangers, we should always let our words “be gracious, seasoned with salt.”—Col. 4:6. w15 12/15 3:15, 17

I  will  post  it  here....

Queen Esther, it makes me think of Paul's words, where he states that in weaknesses, he is made strong.   Don't remember the verse at the moment, but I think that's the gist of it.    Nice encouragement. 

WE ARE THE LIGHT IN THE DARKEN WORLD.....

Pray  Until  Something  Happens !    P U S H.....
A man was sleeping one night in his cabin when suddenly his room filled with light, and God appeared.
The Lord told the man he had work for him to do, and showed him a large rock in front of his cabin. The Lord explained that the man was to push against the rock with all his might. So, this the man did, day after day.
For many years he toiled from sun up to sun down, his shoulders set squarely against the cold, massive surface of the unmoving rock, pushing with all of his might. Each night the man returned to his cabin sore and worn out, feeling that his whole day had been spent in vain.
Since the man was showing discouragement, the Adversary (Satan) decided to enter the picture by placing thoughts into his weary mind:
"You have been pushing against that rock for a long time, and it hasn't moved."
Thus, he gave the man the impression that the task was impossible and that he was a failure. These thoughts discouraged and disheartened the man. Satan said,
"Why kill yourself over this? Just put in your time, giving just the minimum effort; and that will be good enough."
That's what the weary man planned to do, but decided to make it a matter of prayer and to take his troubled thoughts to the Lord.
"Lord," he said, "I have labored long and hard in your service, putting all my strength to do that which you have asked. Yet, after all this time, I have not even budged that rock by half a millimeter. What is wrong? Why am I failing?"
The Lord responded compassionately,
"My friend, when I asked you to serve Me and you accepted, I told you that your task was to push against the rock with all of your strength, which you have done. Never once did I mention to you that I expected you to move it. Your task was to push. And now you come to Me with your strength spent, thinking that you have failed. But, is that really so? Look at yourself. Your arms are strong and muscled, your back sinewy and brown; your hands are callused from constant pressure, your legs have become massive and hard. Through opposition you have grown much, and your abilities now surpass that which you used to have. True, you haven't moved the rock. But your calling was to be obedient and to push and to exercise your faith and trust in My wisdom. That you have done.
Now I, my friend, will move the rock."
At times, when we hear a word from God, we tend to use our own intellect to decipher what He wants, when actually what God wants is just simple obedience and faith in Him. By all means, exercise the faith that moves mountains, but know that it is still Jehovah God  who moves the mountains.
When everything seems to go wrong ... just PUSH !
When the job gets you down ... just PUSH !
When people don't react the way you think they should..... just PUSH !
When your money is "gone" and the bills are due ...just PUSH !
When people just don't understand you ... just PUSH !

I miss your wonderful Daily texts, dear Brother Abel...   ??? 
I hope all is okay ?  Many greetings from Germany,  Agape❤️
