During the Chinese New Year it is customary for hongbaos (small red envelops containing money) to be given away. When parents give this envelop to their children, it is also to wish them prosperity and success. Knowing that this sincere wish is insufficient, however, they also remind their children to study hard. Chinese people generally believe that a good education is the key to one’s success in life.
How hard the battle goes, the day how long; faint not, fight on!
Tomorrow comes the song.
When facing crisis trust god and move on.
Beware of covetousness, for one’s lie does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses.
With all that we possess.
And my we show our gratitude
With heartfelt thankfulness
You are rich when you are satisfied with what you have.
When we sin, we should take responsibility. Let’s pray like David: “I acknowledged my sin to You, and my iniquity, I have not hidden.”
And blame another person;
For if I don’t admit my wrong,
My sin will only worsen.
The first step in repenting from sin
Is to admit that you are to blame.
Sometimes, though, we take the search for earthly happiness too far. We see it as the most important pursuit, and even believe that our happiness is God’s highest goal for us. That’s when our thinking gets confused.
I long, O God, to honor You;
But may my highest motive be
To love the Christ who died for me.
There is no true happiness apart from holiness
And no holiness apart from Christ.
When we’re involved in serving
And meeting other’s needs,
We’re imitating Jesus
In thoughts and words and deeds
Serve God by serving others
When Jesus died upon the cross
He took our sin and shame
He offers us His righteousness,
A gift that we must claim.
The search for forgiveness ends when we find Christ.
Always ready to sacrifice,
Willing to share what I hold dear,
Never deterred by the price.
Let Jesus share with others
what you want to keep for yourself.
Not all of us will live a long time, but we can all live well each day with laughter, the Lord, and the little things in life.
The world is filled with so much good
Little things that bring us pleasure
But Christ can fill our lives with joy
Beyond all earthly treasure
Happiness is not a destination but a day by day journey.

Happiness comes through the progressive realization of a worthy objective. When you are doing what you truly love to do you are bound to find deep contentment.

Abundant living, full and free;
Trusting Him to save and keep us
Gives us joy the world can see
To know God puts a song in you heart
and a smile on your face
Is not a fulfilling quest,
For Jesus' own words are "Follow Me."
and that's how to know life's best.
No deception is more dangerous than self deception.
Give glory to my Lord always;
and may no act of mine cause shame
Nor bring reproach upon his name.
When in devious paths we stray,
Let your goodness never fail us,
Lead us in your perfect way.
God provides the armor to withstand temptation,
but we must put it on.
