Obremos lo que es bueno para con todos, pero especialmente para con los que están relacionados con nosotros en la fe (Gál. 6:10).
Si a un estudiante de la Biblia sus anteriores amigos le dan la espalda, puede estar seguro de que en la congregación encontrará el afecto que necesita. Otra circunstancia muy difícil es cuando un amigo nuestro se aleja de Dios, lo que quizás lo lleve a ser expulsado. Una cristiana explica cómo se sintió al ver que una amiga íntima dejaba de servir a Jehová: “Sentí como si algo dentro de mí se hubiera muerto. Yo pensaba que mi amiga estaba fuerte espiritualmente, pero no era así. ¿Sería que ella había estado sirviendo a Jehová tan solo para complacer a su familia? Eso me hizo sentir la necesidad de evaluarme a mí misma y preguntarme si yo estaba sirviendo a Jehová por las razones correctas”. ¿Cómo se enfrentó esta hermana a la situación? “Le arrojé mi carga a Jehová —contesta ella—. Además, decidí demostrarle que lo amo por lo que él es, no por los amigos que me da en su organización.”

Let us work what is good toward all, but especially toward those related to us in the faith.—Gal. 6:10.
When Bible students are abandoned by former friends who have no love for God, members of the congregation can fill the void. What, though, if a friend inside the congregation decides to turn his or her back on Jehovah, perhaps needing to be disfellowshipped? Such a circumstance can be very distressing. Describing her reaction when a close friend stopped serving Jehovah, one sister said: “I felt as if something inside of me died. I thought my friend was firmly grounded in the truth, but she was not. I wondered if she had been serving Jehovah just to please her family. I then began to reassess my own motives. Was I serving Jehovah for the right reasons?” How did this sister cope? “I threw my burden on Jehovah,” she says. “I am determined to show Jehovah that I love him for who he is, not just because he provides me with friends inside his organization.”
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.”
