Personal Comments

What do you appreciate about the training Jehovah provides?

I am grateful to Jehovah for helping me to develop Christian qualities. For example, patience enabled me to endure the harsh and humiliating conditions I encountered in the temporary detention center. Additionally, exercising self-control prevented me from saying anything that could harm my brothers and sisters when the investigators acted aggressively and tried to provoke me. Understanding and developing these qualities during favorable times helped to prepare me for the trials I have faced.

We are grateful for Jehovah’s help in developing qualities that enable us to remain loyal and endure.—Galatians 5:22, 23.
