No retengas el bien de aquellos a quienes se les debe, cuando sucede que está en el poder de tu mano hacerlo (Pro. 3:27).
Es cierto que el amor a Dios es la base de toda buena amistad. Pero hace falta algo más: es necesario que las dos personas se esmeren por cuidar su relación y que tengan espíritu de sacrificio. Ni siquiera entre hermanos carnales que sirven a Jehová se da automáticamente la amistad; ellos también tienen que esforzarse por cultivar una amistad estrecha. ¿Qué nos ayudará a hacer buenos amigos? Tomemos la iniciativa. El apóstol Pablo nos anima a seguir “la senda de la hospitalidad” (Rom. 12:13). ¿Cómo se recorre esta senda? Igual que un sendero literal: paso a paso. Así es, debemos hacer vez tras vez pequeñas cosas por los demás. Nadie puede recorrer esa senda por nosotros. Una forma de ser hospitalario es ofreciendo a algunos hermanos una comida sencilla. ¿Podría usted adoptar la costumbre de recibir con hospitalidad a diferentes hermanos de la congregación?

Do not hold back good from those to whom it is owing, when it happens to be in the power of your hand to do it.—Prov. 3:27.
Good friendships are not formed by accident. A mutual love for Jehovah is the foundation. But enduring friendships are a product of hard work and self-sacrifice. Even siblings who worship Jehovah within Christian families need to work at forming a close friendship. How, then, can you make good friends? Take the initiative. The apostle Paul encourages us to “follow the course of hospitality.” (Rom. 12:13) Following a literal course involves taking a series of steps, one after the other. Likewise, being hospitable involves taking a series of small, regular actions. Nobody else can walk the path of hospitality for you. One way you can be hospitable is by inviting different ones in the congregation to share a simple meal with you. Can you make it a regular part of your routine to show hospitality to members of your congregation?
Examining the Bible Scriptures Daily, Such instructions gave Jesus ‘the tongue of the taught ones’ so that he would ‘know how to answer the tired one with a word.’ (Isa. 30:20; 50:4; Matt. 11:28-30) Being awakened to timely counsel from the Word of God each morning will not only help you to cope with your own problems but also equip you with ‘the tongue of the taught ones’ to help others.”
