Let us work what is good toward all, but especially toward those related to us in the faith.—Gal. 6:10.

We certainly need to be concerned that fellow Christians receive spiritual help whenever they face tests of their faith. But might they also need practical help, for example, in getting to the Kingdom Hall or in doing their grocery shopping? Are there any elderly, sick, or housebound ones in your congregation who would appreciate an encouraging visit or a helping hand? If we make an effort to be sensitive to such needs, then Jehovah might be able to use us to answer the prayers of a needy one. Another way in which Christians show an unselfish attitude is by using their time and energy to speak about God’s purposes. (Matt. 28:19, 20) Anyone who has had the joy of helping another person to arrive at the point of dedicating his life to Jehovah knows the truth of Jesus’ words: “There is more happiness in giving than there is in receiving.”—Acts 20:35. w 6/15/06 14, 15
