Families were asked to leave their hereditary possession and move to Jerusalem (Ne 11:1; w98-E 10/15 22 ¶13)

Those who were willing to make such sacrifices were blessed (Ne 11:2; w86-E 2/15 26)

Blessings from Jehovah are always greater than any sacrifices we may make (Mal 3:10; w16.04-E 8 ¶15)

ASK YOURSELF, ‘What blessings have I received for the sacrifices that I have made to serve Jehovah?’
