Nescafé is a brand of coffee made by Nestlé. It comes in many different forms. The name is a portmanteau of the words "Nestlé" and "café". Nestlé first introduced their flagship coffee brand in Switzerland on 1 April 1938.

Alexa reacted to Bible Speaks in Forgive One Another Freely - ???????
Forgive One Another Freely ???????
“Continue putting up with one another and forgiving one another freely.”—COL. 3:13.
WHY WE NEED TO BE FORGIVING
???????
A willingness to forgive those who offend us—whether they are members of the Christian congregation or not—is essential if we are to maintain peaceful relations with family members, friends, fellow humans, and Jehovah. The Scriptures indicate that a willingness to forgive others regardless of how often they offend us is a Christian requirement. In order to illustrate the reasonableness of this requirement, Jesus used an illustration about a slave who was a debtor.
?????????
The slave owed his master the equivalent of a laborer’s wages for 60,000,000 days; yet, his master canceled the debt. Thereafter, the slave went out and found a fellow slave who owed him a sum that amounted to only 100 days’ wages. The debtor pleaded for patience, but the slave who had been forgiven a huge debt had his fellow slave thrown into prison. That attitude angered their master. “Ought you not . . . to have had mercy on your fellow slave, as I also had mercy on you?” the master asked. “With that his master, provoked to wrath, delivered [the unforgiving slave] to the jailers, until he should pay back all that was owing.”—Matt. 18:21-34.
?????????
What point did Jesus make with this illustration? His conclusion was: “In like manner my heavenly Father will also deal with you if you do not forgive each one his brother from your hearts.” (Matt. 18:35) Jesus’ point is clear. The sins we have committed during a lifetime of imperfection give evidence that we are hopelessly unable to meet Jehovah’s standards. Yet, he is willing to forgive us and to wipe the slate clean, as it were. Hence, anyone who desires Jehovah’s friendship is obliged to forgive the shortcomings of his fellow human. Or as Jesus said in the Sermon on the Mount: “If you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you; whereas if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.”—Matt. 6:14, 15.
???????
If you feel that you have been the victim of an injustice and find it difficult to forgive a wrongdoer who has repented, it would be good to realize that the offender too is a victim. He or she also suffers the effects of inherited imperfection. (Rom. 3:23) Jehovah feels compassion toward all imperfect mankind. Therefore, it is appropriate to pray for the offender. It is unlikely that we would continue being angry with someone for whom we are praying. And that we should avoid harboring resentment toward even those who mistreat us is clear from Jesus’ words: “Continue to love your enemies and to pray for those persecuting you.”—Matt. 5:44.
???????
Mental-health experts recognize the benefits of being willing to forgive. It releases pent-up and even debilitating emotions that cause ill health, and it fosters healthier and happier relationships. Contrast that with the costs of an unwillingness to forgive—poor health, broken relationships, stress, and difficult communication. By far the most important blessing of being willing to forgive is a good relationship with our heavenly Father, Jehovah.—Read Colossians 3:12-14.

Alexa reacted to Bible Speaks in Are You “Zealous for Fine Works”? ????????????
Are You “Zealous for Fine Works”?
????????????
"We recommend ourselves as God’s ministers . . . by sleepless nights, by times without food."—2 Cor. 6:4, 5. - Thank you Jehovah for our faithful brothers! ?
????????????
Your ministry may result in “sleepless nights” and “times without food.” (2 Cor. 6:5) These expressions paint a vivid picture of self-sacrifice and may well remind us of pioneers who give their ministry first place in life while supporting themselves financially. Consider, too, our devoted missionaries ‘who pour themselves out like a drink offeringÂ’ to serve people in foreign lands. (Phil. 2:17)Â
????????????
What about our hardworking elders who miss meals or lose sleep to care for JehovahÂ’s sheep? We also have our older ones and those in poor health who do their best to attend Christian meetings and participate in the field service. Our hearts swell with appreciation when we think of all these self-sacrificing servants of God. Such efforts affect how others view our ministry.
????????????
Paul pointed out that he had suffered tribulations, difficulties, beatings, and imprisonment. (Read 2 Corinthians 6:4, 5.) When we experience tests of faith, our endurance can help observers to accept the truth.Â
????????????
If we are zealous for fine works, we will be richly rewarded with joy and satisfaction now. Moreover, we can look forward to the day when all mankind will display zeal for true worship in honor of our Creator, Jehovah.

Alexa reacted to Bible Speaks in The Truth Brings, “Not Peace, But a Sword” - ??⚖️⚔️⚖️??
@James Thomas Rook Jr.
Yes, Thank you! Men will only learn Truth from Our Maker Jehovah God. Yet, those who speak Truth are hated for Truth hurts. Christ Jesus Our Lord spoke Truth and He lost His Life only to save ours forever. Even though many  do not like God's Word of Truth we speak out boldly just as Our Lord and Christ taught us. Freedom from the True God Jehovah is True Freedom. Man has no freedom but only bondage to other men or governments. Soon Christ Jesus Our Lord will bring True Freedom Worldwide under God's Government. I think we are all ready for that!Â
Thank you for your support!

The Truth Brings, “Not Peace, But a Sword”
This has ALWAYS been the case ... everywhere, all the time, amongst EVERYBODY, always.
Nothing new.
HOWEVER ....
The "sword" comes from the evil people that prefer lies to TRUTH, not the other way around.

The Truth Brings, “Not Peace, But a Sword”
??????????
“Do not think I came to bring peace to the earth; I came to bring, not peace, but a sword.”—MATT. 10:34.
??????????
"Quit mixing in company with anyone called a brother that is a fornicator or a greedy person or an idolater or a reviler or a drunkard or an extortioner."—1 Cor. 5:11."Â
??????????
These critical last days are filled with conflict, and countless people have contentious attitudes. (2 Tim. 3:1-4) As Christians, we must wage a spiritual war against Satan and the false teachings that he promotes. (2 Cor. 10:4, 5) But the greatest threat to our peace may come from unbelieving relatives. Some might ridicule our beliefs, accuse us of dividing the family, or threaten to disown us unless we give up our faith.Â
??????????
Even when our relatives oppose our efforts to worship Jehovah, we continue to love them, but we must remember that our love for God and Christ comes first. (Matt. 10:37) We must also realize that Satan will try to use our affection for our family to break our integrity. Let us consider some situations involving family opposition and see how we can successfully face the challenges that these bring.
