DeJanerio Brown: Broken but Not Destroyed
"Peter began to say to him:
“Look!
We have left all things
and followed you.”
Jesus said:
“Truly I say to you,
no one has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for my sake
and for the sake of the good news
who will not get 100 times more now
in this period of time
—houses, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, and fields,
with persecutions
—and in the coming system of things,
everlasting life." Mark 10:28-30.

COVER SUBJECT | WHEN A LOVED ONE DIES
The Dead Will Live Again!
“God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore.
The former things have passed away.” Rev. 21 :3, 4.

[Seek] first the Kingdom.—Matt. 6:33. If we are to put the Kingdom first in our lives, we must be like Abraham, who willingly made sacrifices to please God. (Mark 10:28-30; Heb. 11:8-10) Do not expect your life to be trouble-free. Even those who devote their entire life to serving Jehovah must still deal with problems. (Jas. 1:2; 1 Pet. 5:9) Today, we have more reason than ever to focus on the future. World events clearly show that we are in the final part of the last days of this system of things. Among the many blessings we will enjoy under Kingdom rule will be that of seeing our loved ones raised from the dead. At that time, Jehovah will reward Abraham for his faith and patience by bringing him and his family back to life on earth. Will you be there to welcome them? You can be if you, like Abraham, are willing to make sacrifices for God’s Kingdom, if you keep your faith despite problems, and if you learn to wait patiently on Jehovah.—Mic. 7:7. w20.08 5-6 ¶13-14; 7 ¶17 © 36 minutes ago, Lucretia McCloud death • hope • love • teen • society • pain
