Let us grow by love in all things (Eph. 4:15).
As you study God's Word, your love for Jehovah will grow. That love motivates him to put into practice what he learns. Make better decisions thanks to biblical principles. He also corrects his way of thinking and acting because he wants to please God. Just as a child imitates his dad, you strive to imitate your loving heavenly Father (Eph. 5:1, 2). We might ask ourselves: “Do I love Jehovah more now than when I was baptized?” Is my way of thinking and acting more like Jehovah’s, especially when showing love to the brothers in the congregation?” If our love has cooled a little, let's not be discouraged. That already happened to the Christians of the first century. But Jesus didn't think they were a hopeless case, and he won't think that of us either (Rev. 2:4, 7). Know that we can rekindle the love we felt when we learned the truth. w23.07 8 paras. 23.
What questions could we ask ourselves?
We might ask ourselves: “Do I love Jehovah more now than when I was baptized?” Is my way of thinking and acting more like Jehovah’s, especially when showing love to the brothers in the congregation?” If our love has cooled a little, let's not be discouraged.

What will we see in this article?
In this article, we will first look at how we can grow our love for Jehovah and our neighbors. And then we'll talk about how we and other people benefit when we do it.
What challenges did the apostle Paul face in his ministry?
The apostle Paul enjoyed many joys in his ministry, but he also faced many challenges. He often traveled long distances, even though the journeys were not easy. As he traveled, he sometimes found himself “in danger from rivers” and “in danger from thieves.” At times his enemies mistreated him (2 Cor. 11:23-27). To make matters worse, his fellow Christians did not always appreciate his efforts to help them (2 Cor. 10:10; Philip. 4:15).
What motivated you to continue serving Jehovah?
What motivated Paul to continue serving God? He had learned much about Jehovah's personality from the Scriptures and his own experiences. He was convinced that Jehovah loved him (Rom. 8:38, 39; Eph. 2:4, 5). For his part, Pablo came to love him very much. He demonstrated that love by serving “the saints and continuing to serve them” (Heb. 6:10).
What will help our love for Jehovah grow?
In order for our love for God to grow, we have to study His Word with interest. When reading the Bible, try to discover what each passage teaches us about Jehovah. We must ask ourselves: “How do these verses show that Jehovah loves me? And what reasons do you give me to love Jehovah?”
How does prayer help develop the love we feel for God?
(Ps. 25:4, 5) Also helps develop our love for Jehovah by opening our hearts to him in our daily prayers. Jehovah, for his part, will answer those prayers (1 John 3:21, 22). Khanh,b a sister living in Asia, commented: “At first, I loved Jehovah only because of what I knew about him. But that love grew as I saw how he answered my prayers, and that awakened in me the desire to do the things that pleased him.”
