Dear sisters and brothers,

What is the true happiness?

The true happiness is God (God is Chúa/Thiên Chúa/Đức Chúa Trời, Ông Trời, Thượng đế, Allah, Jesus Christ…)

Why?

Because God loves us and God is with us forever.

Dear sisters and brothers,

A lot of happiness around you. Happiness can be your lover, family, friend, money, job, diploma, honor, social status… Happiness can also be rivers, forests, animals, political regime, civilization… in the land you live.

Most people seek such happiness all their life. They believe such happiness is the true happiness, but such happiness is not true. It comes and goes. It only stands by you some time and then it goes away. It doesn’t stay with you forever. So it is not the true happiness.

Therefore when happiness comes, they are joyful; when happiness goes, they feel angry, bored, hurt, unjust, hopeless and can not love people anymore. So they have not the true happiness in all their life – They are joyful today and sorrowful tomorrow.

Dear sisters and brothers,

We should seek the true happiness. The true happiness is God. Because God loves us (John 3:16) and be with us always, to the very end of the age (Matthew 28:20), God will give us the true happiness.

Life always changes. However it changes, we can always stay peaceful when we have God as our friend.

And an important thing: No matter how life treats us, we can still keep on loving life and loving people when we know deeply that God is love (1 John 4:16) and God is with us.

Seek God first. And you will be full. (Matthew 6:33)

Have a peace day.
