Can We Really Be Holy Like God?

 

Can We Really Be Holy Like God?

Today, I want to talk about a crucial topic that we, as believers, should always keep in our hearts: holiness. In the Bible, we often encounter the command, "Be holy, because I am holy." It makes us wonder how we could possibly be holy like the almighty and perfect God. Can we really become holy like Him? And why should we?


What is the Meaning of God's Holiness?

First, God's holiness is His essential nature. God has no connection with sin and tolerates no evil. He is completely set apart from everything in the world, perfectly pure and whole. The Hebrew word for "holy" is kodesh, which means "to be set apart" or "to be separated."


Two Reasons Why We Should Be Holy

So, why should believers strive for holiness? There are two important reasons.

  1. It is God's clear command. The Bible commands us to be holy in many places. Leviticus 19:2 says, "You shall be holy, for I the Lord your God am holy." 1 Peter 1:15-16 also emphasizes, "But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: 'Be holy, because I am holy.'" This is not an option; it is God's explicit will for His people.

  2. As God's children, we should resemble Him. We become children of God by believing in Jesus. Just as children resemble their parents, we too should grow to be like God in character. Since holiness is God's very nature, it is natural for us, as His children, to pursue holiness in our lives. This means imitating God not just in our external actions but in our thoughts, hearts, and every area of our lives.


What Does a Believer's Holiness Mean?

While we cannot be as perfect as God, the holiness of a believer, as described in the Bible, means the following:

  • A life set apart from the world: It means living separate from the sinful culture and values of the world, as a person who belongs to God.

  • Progressive growth: The moment we believe in Jesus, we are declared righteous and made holy. But at the same time, our lives go through a process of 'becoming progressively more holy' as we fight against sin and become more like Jesus. This is called sanctification. Just as a child grows, our spiritual holiness must also continue to develop.

  • An intimate relationship with God: Holiness comes from walking closely with God. Our efforts to love His Word, hate sin, and live a righteous life are what build our holiness.

  • Becoming more like Jesus: Ultimately, the goal of our holiness is to become more like Jesus Christ. This means living a life of humility, love, gentleness, and patience, just as He did.


It's Difficult on Our Own, but...

Of course, we cannot become perfectly holy by our own strength. But we can live a holy life by relying on the help of the Holy Spirit and the blood of Jesus Christ. God's command for us to be holy also means that He has given us the ability to live that way.

So, how about we try to live a holy life that pleases God today? Our efforts—starting with small things like turning away from sin, obeying God's Word, and striving to be more like Jesus—will come together to bear the beautiful fruit of holiness.

Prayer Answered: Why Don't I Get What I Want?

Prayer Answered: Why Don't I Get What I Want?

Many churches teach that "if you pray, God will grant everything you ask for." However, in reality, many of our fervent requests go unanswered, which can lead to disappointment. The Bible, though, speaks about answered prayer in a way that differs from our typical expectations. So, what is the right understanding of answered prayer?


The Biblical View of Answered Prayer

The Bible clearly promises that God answers prayers. But this doesn't mean that He will give us everything we want, in the way we want it, and when we want it.

  • Praying According to God’s Will: The Bible says that God hears us if we ask anything according to His will (1 John 5:14). This means our prayers are answered when they align with God's greater plan and purpose. Sometimes, what we ask for might not be for our true benefit or for God's glory.

  • Waiting and Different Kinds of Answers: Just as it took 21 days for Daniel's prayer to be answered, God sometimes makes us wait (Daniel 10:12-14). Furthermore, when the Apostle Paul prayed three times for his "thorn in the flesh" to be removed, God answered differently, saying, "My grace is sufficient for you" (2 Corinthians 12:7-9).

  • God Gives the Best: Jesus said that just as a good parent wouldn't give a child a stone when asked for bread, our heavenly Father will give what is good to those who ask Him (Matthew 7:9-11). What we think is "good" might not be what God considers "best." God sometimes answers in bigger and more surprising ways than we could ever imagine.


The Meaning of Prayer Beyond the Answer

Prayer is not merely a tool to get things from God. It is a means of building a relationship with God and drawing closer to Him. Through prayer, we learn to understand God's will more deeply, trust Him, learn patience, and grow spiritually. The act of praying itself provides great benefit, regardless of whether a specific request is answered.

If we only rely on the teaching that "God grants all prayers," we might misunderstand God and feel disappointed and frustrated in our faith when prayers go unanswered. There is also a risk of prayer becoming a selfish act to fulfill our desires. This can lead to a mistaken belief that God is a genie in a lamp who will automatically grant our wishes.


The Right Attitude for Prayer

From a biblical perspective, we should have the following attitude when we pray:

  • Seeking God’s Will: Like Jesus, who prayed, "Not my will, but yours be done," we should seek for God's will to be done rather than our own.

  • Entrusting the Outcome to God: We should pray with faith, believing that God will answer in the best way possible, but also humbly entrusting the form and timing of that answer entirely to Him.

  • Remembering Gratitude and Praise: Regardless of whether our prayers are answered in the way we expect, we should always have a heart of gratitude and praise for God.

  • Praying with Our Lives: Prayer should not just be a verbal confession; it should be lived out through our actions and daily lives.

Prayer is an intimate communion with God and an act of trust, where we commit our lives fully to Him. Even if there is no immediate answer, we must remember that God hears our prayers and is leading us on the best path.

Prayer Is Not a Magic Incantation for Answers

 

Prayer Is Not a Magic Incantation for Answers

Having been a Christian for a long time, I can understand your feeling that the teachings on prayer have been primarily focused on "getting answers." While the belief that God will grant all prayers can be a powerful motivator, it also carries the risk of turning prayer into a mere tool for obtaining what we want. Let's explore what the Bible truly says about prayer and how the church teaches it, to better understand the essential meaning of prayer.


The Principles of Prayer in the Bible

The Bible emphasizes that prayer is not just an act of getting what we want, but a process of building a deep relationship with God.

  • Answers According to God's Will: The Bible says that God listens to our prayers, but He doesn't always answer in the way we want. Instead, He gives us what is best according to His wisdom and plan (1 John 5:14-15).

  • Faith and Perseverance: Prayer must be offered in faith with the conviction that it will be answered (Matthew 21:22). We are also taught to pray with persistence and not give up (Luke 18:1-8).

  • Prayer for God's Glory: Our prayers should not be for our own selfish desires, but for the purpose of bringing glory to God (John 14:13).

  • Help of the Holy Spirit: When we don't know how to pray, the Holy Spirit helps us and guides us to pray according to God's will (Romans 8:26-27).


Church Teachings and the Reality of Prayer

Based on the Bible, the church teaches that answered prayer is entirely subject to God's sovereignty and can come in many different forms. An answer might not be exactly what we asked for; it might be something better, or it might come in a different way. Sometimes, an answer may be delayed or even denied. The church also teaches that prayer itself is beneficial, strengthening our faith and leading to spiritual growth through communion with God.

However, in reality, prayer is often taught like an "Aladdin's lamp" ritual. The belief that God will grant wishes if we present them well has reduced prayer to a transactional tool. This is why a lot of prayers in Korean churches can sound like a child's repeated demands, "Give me this, give me that."

Unlike Zacchaeus, who promised to change his life, we often find ourselves questioning God, "Why aren't you answering me? You must answer!"


Repentance Without Forgiveness Is Empty

One reason our lives don't change, even after we reflect and repent each week, is the lack of a life of forgiveness. We get angry easily at work, at home, and with those close to us. Before getting angry, we need to practice forgiving the other person first. Forgiveness isn't just about asking for it. If someone makes you angry, it's enough to simply declare, whether they hear you or not, "I forgive you."

After doing this a few times, you will understand the true meaning of the prayer Jesus taught in the Lord's Prayer: "Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors." You will come to see that prayer is not just an act of getting answers but a deep spiritual discipline that transforms our hearts and lives.

Forgiveness Is a Gift to Yourself

Forgiveness Is a Gift to Yourself

"Forgive them." How many times have you heard this phrase in your life? Or how often have you asked yourself this question? Forgiveness can feel like a homework assignment or an unreachable state of being. But because of its heavy weight and daunting nature, we often stop short when confronted with the word "forgiveness."

The dictionary defines forgiveness as "to stop feeling angry or resentful toward (someone) for an offense, flaw, or mistake." However, the forgiveness we experience is a much more complex and subtle emotional realm. Is forgiveness simply deciding to "forget about it"? Can we only forgive if we can "understand" the other person's actions?

We find forgiveness difficult to the same degree as the depth of our wounds and our pride. Feelings like anger, injustice, and a desire for revenge slam shut the doors of our hearts. Sometimes, forgiving can feel like "losing" or "making light of the other person's wrongdoing." But true forgiveness is never about that.


Forgiveness Is Healing for Yourself, Not for the Offender

What we need to remember is that forgiveness is not an act for the offender, but a process of healing for yourself. Time spent harboring resentment and trapped in anger ultimately makes our own hearts sick. Forgiveness is a noble act of putting down that heavy emotional burden and liberating yourself from suffering.

Of course, the path to forgiveness is never easy. Sometimes you may have to navigate a whirlwind of intense emotions. It is a completely natural process to feel anger, grief, and sometimes a renewed sense of resentment. The important thing is to be honest with those feelings, but not to get lost in them, and to move forward slowly.


Small Attempts to Open a Closed Door

So, how can we begin this journey of forgiveness?

  • The first step for you: First, you must recognize that this entire process is ultimately a choice for your own benefit. Ask yourself if you want to live in pain, trapped by past wounds, or if you want to be free through forgiveness.

  • A small piece of understanding: While you may not be able to fully understand the other person's actions, trying to understand their background or situation, even just a little, can be a starting point for forgiveness. This is not about justifying their wrongdoings, but about practicing looking at the situation from multiple angles.

  • Honest confrontation with your emotions: It's important to honestly face and express repressed feelings of anger, sadness, or hurt without avoiding them. Writing in a journal or talking to a trusted person are good ways to do this.

  • A small whisper in your heart: If it's too difficult to say "I forgive you" to the other person, you can start by quietly saying it to yourself in your heart. This small act can slowly begin to open the closed door of your heart.

  • Find your own way: There is no single correct way to forgive. You can write a letter to process your emotions, spend time alone to calm your heart, or sometimes seek professional help. Find a method that works for you and take it one step at a time.


Forgiveness: The Noble Power That Transforms Lives

Forgiveness is not a magic trick that happens instantly. It can take a long time and requires constant effort. But at the end of it, a wonderful transformation awaits. The peace of mind you gain from putting down the heavy emotional burden, the freedom to live fully in the present without being bound by past hurts, and the growth into a more mature version of yourself. This is the precious gift that forgiveness offers us.

Remember. Forgiveness is not for the other person; it is the most beautiful gift you can give yourself. Now, how about you try to find that small key that can open the closed door of your heart?

Why do we believe in God?

What should the saints do if they just talk without gratitude, grace, blessings, or love in the pastor's sermon emphasizing Sunday worship? Even if you swear at politicians or say something that seems to be cursed by the world, how can you be called a Christian while learning evil and fighting in such a church?




Why do we believe in God?


I wonder if anyone is not concerned about believing in God. Why do we believe in God? This question leads us to rethink the nature of faith. We experience God's love and grace, and we have faith in order to achieve peace and hope in it. This is to follow the teachings of loving and forgiving each other and living like the light and salt of the world. If the church feels like it is promoting division and condemnation away from this essence, it is necessary to think deeply about it.


It may be a natural process to constantly think about believing in God. Our beliefs sometimes shake and we ask questions in the face of an incomprehensible reality. The important thing is to move toward more mature faith through that concern.


A healthy religious life is achieved through positive and constructive teaching. In a community full of love, forgiveness, grace, and gratitude, we can build a deeper relationship with God and have a good influence on the world.


If the current church feels different from this direction, one way may be to try to talk seriously, or to find a community of faith that suits you.


The important thing is to enjoy true peace and joy in God without losing faith in God under any circumstances.


Most saints do not actually move churches just because they are disappointed with the sermon. The reason is that the church has the functions of worship and teaching, fellowship, evangelism, and service. Although sermons actually take on a large proportion, they are often not a large proportion for any saint. The reality is that it can be replaced because good sermons can be accessed through Christian books or YouTube.

The level of elementary school students who say they don't want to go to school because they don't like the teacher is saying that they want to move to church because they don't like the pastor's sermon. In the long run, the pastor can also be replaced or changed, so you can actually wait. That is why the fruit of patience becomes an important virtue.



Resurrection in Christianity

Resurrection refers to the phenomenon of being revived after death. The concept emerges in various cultures, religions, and philosophies, but the most widely known is the resurrection of Jesus Christ in Christianity.


Resurrection in Christianity:


Core doctrine: The resurrection of Jesus Christ in Christianity is one of the most core doctrines. According to the New Testament, Jesus was crucified and died, and then he was revived three days later.

Meaning:

Victory over sin and death: The resurrection of Jesus symbolizes the victory over the power of sin and death and the eternal life.

The basis of Christian faith: Paul the Apostle said, "If Christ has not been brought back to life, it will be in vain for us to spread, and your faith will be in vain." (Corinthians 15:14) and emphasized the importance of resurrection.

Believers wish for resurrection: Christians wish that through the resurrection of Jesus Christ they will also gain eternal life after death. This is described as the "resurrection of the body" and believes that those who died on the last day will come back to life, be judged, and enjoy an eternal life.

Biblical records: The resurrection of Jesus is recorded in many places in the New Testament, including Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The main contents include empty tombs and testimonies of those who met the resurrected Jesus.

Easter: In Christianity, Easter is observed every spring to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Resurrection in other religions and cultures:


Reincarnation ideology (Buddhism, Hinduism, etc.): The concept is that after death, the soul is reborn through another body, and it has a different meaning from the resurrection of Christianity. Here, it means that individual beings are not fully restored, but start a new life in the flow of the soul.

Ancient mythology: The stories of dead and resurrected gods exist in different cultures, including Osiris in Egyptian mythology and Adonis in Greek mythology. It symbolically represents the cycle of life, regeneration, hope, etc.

Shamanism: Some shamanistic cultures believe that the souls of the dead again influence the present world or are reincarnated in certain forms.

Philosophical Perspective:


Philosophers like Plato argued that the soul exists separate from the body, and that even when the body dies, the soul does not disappear and exists forever. This is a different concept from the resurrection of Christianity, but it shares a belief in existence after death.

Phenomenology: Some modern philosophies interpret resurrection as a radical change in human existence or a shift towards a new dimension, rather than merely biological regeneration.

In conclusion, 'resurrection' is a concept that contains various beliefs and interpretations of life after death. In Christianity, it represents the core doctrine of overcoming sin and death and obtaining eternal life through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, and in other religions and cultures, it appears in various forms, including reincarnation, reincarnation, and mythical symbols.

Who knows God's will? (Version 2)

Who knows God's will? (Version 2)


1. Collapsed authority

One of the reasons the younger generation today avoids the church is the authoritative atmosphere and the rank of the office. Just as the authority of the father disappeared from the home and the authority of teachers collapsed in schools, the perception of authority is changing in churches. Still, however, there remains an atmosphere in some churches that enforces authority, and that enforces obedience.


There is still a mindset that the associate pastor should absolutely obey the pastor's words. But times have changed. Now, the attitude of the pastor is also subject to evaluation. In order for the church to operate in a healthy way, it should be borne in mind that authority is not established by itself, but is exercised when the saints recognize it.


2. God's will and obedience

God's will is clearly recorded in the Bible. Without having to explain it complicatedly, it means to praise God and live a good life. However, many interpret this to suit their taste and insist that their will is God's will.


If the pastor in charge claims that his decision is God's will, this is the beginning of misfortune. God's will is not an individual's will or desire, but is found in the teachings of the Bible and the community. True obedience is not blind obedience, but a deep understanding and following of God's will.


3. Folly to establish a broken authority

It is foolish to impose obedience in an oppressive manner to revive the collapsed authority. Authority is not forcibly established, but is formed through one's own virtues and personalities.


To be recognized for authority, one must exert good influence without greed. Whether you are a subordinate or a saint, you must establish a relationship based on voluntary respect, not coercion. The way of giving orders and forcing obedience, as in the past, no longer works.


4. In an era where the ability of new employees is more important than the ability of leaders.

In modern society, the ability of new employees is becoming more important than leaders within an organization. The reason is simple. This is because the younger generation is more adaptable as the flow of information accelerates and the pace of change accelerates.


In the past, the experience and perspective of leaders were the core of organizational management. However, now, in a rapidly changing environment where various information is shared, new perspectives and creativity have become more important. The same goes for the church. If the church ignores the opinions of the younger generation and maintains an authoritative attitude, it will inevitably decline more and more.


5. We are moving toward an era where good people win.

This is an era in which moral ability and conscience are more important than authoritative attitudes. The same goes for churches. When the church abandons its authoritative culture and pursues ethical and good values, people will naturally gather to the church.


People now value the character and morality of a leader. In order for the church to restore trust and have a good influence on people, honest and transparent operations are needed above all else. Only churches that abandon authoritative structures and pursue horizontal leadership will survive.


Conclusion

The way it used to be, one can no longer maintain authority. If the church does not change, people will leave, and churches that have not regained trust will increasingly lose influence. It is an era in which a leader who serves humbly before God is needed. Now is the time for change.

It is not faith when I get away from the illusion that God has made all my life plans


vague goal


One of my friends has a pastor. I've been working with the youth department since college, and I planned to run the church administration when I became middle-aged, and after graduating from college, this friend decided to go to the Graduate School of Theology and become a pastor. And the two achieved their goal.


However, the goal of those in their 20s seems to have been vague. It wasn't specific. I don't know if it's obvious what to do if that happens, but there was no specific plan.




God's guidance


God would guide me. I didn't think it was strange why God made up our plans for life.


If you set a goal, you can usually achieve it. You can use transportation from Seoul to Busan. But how frustrating would people around you feel if you didn't plan what to do when you went?


It is frustrating whether I will continue to live in Busan or travel for a while.


If you go to Jeju Island, there is Gapado Island, and hot dog restaurants are famous in the island. He said someone asked the owner. When asked how he thought of opening a hot dog restaurant, he heard yesterday that he just came on a trip and said that he had a good time doing business here. Someone can improvise like this. You can say this is fate.


Destiny and God's Will


Christians see these results and wrap them up nicely as God's guidance. However, it is a result that has not been confirmed or confirmed. Because doing business well can lead to collapse. Can the saints say that it is God's will to fail even then?


If it is God's will to make you do business, of course, it should be God's will to fail. So even if you insist that it is God's will, it is not strange at all.


So if you are not sure, let us not insist that it is God's will. It's my will. God can help you with that, but I am responsible.


Let's not insist on God's will so that we don't take responsibility.




Believer's Life Plan


Even if you have good faith, you have to make a concrete life plan. Because a plan may fail, you should not be satisfied that you have set a goal. It is necessary to determine how to achieve the goal, and to make a detailed plan and decide what to do after achieving the step-by-step goal. This is not necessarily done for the success of the plan, but to know how to guide God and how to help each step-by-step process if you believe in it.


There is only vague achievement in a vague plan.


The twenties are very difficult times to set goals in life. This is because there is a lack of social experience, and if you do something well, you will become arrogant and show a bad attitude, and if you do something a little lacking, you will feel discouraged and anxious that you will not be able to do anything. However, when someone tries to help, they sometimes do pathetic things that they refuse because their pride is triggered.


So, it doesn't have to be perfect, so please make a plan and implement it and revise it every quarter. That's okay though.




Plan Revision


The reality is that people can make plans for their abilities, but it is difficult to achieve them as planned. Therefore, the plan must be revised from time to time. The next best and the next best, and the plans in the process.


The travel plan is to test this. In particular, if you plan a trip alone and go on a trip, you will find out how many different variables there are. The first way to learn life is to travel alone.


There is nothing more to learn in the church. There is no hope.

There is nothing more to learn in the church. There is no hope.




I went to church all my life, listened to sermons, studied the Bible hard, and lived a life that only knew church, but these days, there are many people who are so disappointed with the church that they don't want to go there anymore.




Protestant pastors break away.


Watching the actions of Protestant pastors at a time when they are waiting for the Constitutional Court's judgment after being impeached by Yoon Seok-yeol's emergency martial law, lamentations are drawn that there are so many non-normal human beings.


Seeing that he is using his position as a pastor to incite the saints with his political ideology, I can't help but think that he has been deceived by the pastors.




Pastor's seat


The pastors of the Korean church have been well-fed and well-off for decades. In particular, the Protestant Church, a self-employed system, has been pioneered by pastors and maintained the church with donations. Decades later, a successor pastor was appointed, but many churches that have grown into large churches for more than 30 years were able to endure corruption, thinking that they might be part of it, but seeing pastors who eat using saints with political intentions, I realized that there was no hope of the Korean church.




Because the pastor is a very important position in the church. This is because it is a place where mothers try to understand and cover up their children even if there are some flaws or not, as they have to study the Bible well and act as a compass to live according to God's will by preaching on Sunday. When someone swears at the pastor, the pastor is also a person, so he does not make mistakes and makes them understand, but does not criticize, complain, or complain together.




Sermon-based incitement


If the pastor makes political remarks and incites during the worship sermon, this becomes clear evidence that it is rotten when it is rotten, so it is something that can no longer be watched.


In fact, I heard that there are cases where extreme right-wing members visit the pastor and threaten why they don't tell me during the sermon that they oppose the impeachment of Yoon Seok-yeol.


The feelings of supporters named Yoon Seok-yeol will be the same as those of the church who support the pastor. Even if there are flaws or mistakes, the church has done this to the pastor.


But far-right people do this. Far-right saints do this.




They forgive me for not doing anything wrong.


Forgiveness is directed at someone who admits wrongdoing. It is also a lustful act for someone who says that there is no fault but that I am just forgiving.


He said that I was not at fault, but who am I to forgive?




Let's pull ourselves together.


There are many churches. If you think you can't move the church because you have a lot of money to pay for congratulations and condolences because you don't have a place to donate, I hope you can move away from the church and live in faith in God while being free.


The church can be moved. Donations are not necessarily required. Grace is free. Salvation is free. And the pastor also corrupts. Therefore, we must escape the idea that the church is good and the world is evil.


If you have no place to express your love for God, so you have served, donated, and pampered the pastor, you should also know that it is not God's will. It means that you or the pastor brainwashed you.


What would God regret to pay for the money in my pocket? And what did God say that I must use the pastor of the church I attend?


He called Moses and crossed the Red Sea to exodus the Israelites, but he should also know that the Lord God tried to kill Moses. In Exodus 4: And it should also be known that Adam and Eve were destined to die and expelled from the Garden of Eden because of what the good and evil ate.


God is not a blessing. They demand a price for their sins. Personally, I believe that Paul's death penalty in Rome was the result of what he did when he was Saul. If Saul, who had been killing believers, had not happened on his way to Damessek to add to it, Saul would have only killed those who believed in Jesus for the rest of his life. For all these reasons, it is my conclusion that God hates sin.


The church defines disobedience to God's will as sin. It is not that the current law has not been observed, but that the more strict law of God is that adultery with the heart is also governed by the sin of adultery.


So let's get the saints and the pastor together. You have to tremble and ask for forgiveness for the sins you have committed with your heart. There is no exception to this.


Complaints, complaints and chatter.

Complaints, complaints and chatter.


Any organization or church is subject to complaints, complaints, and chatter within the organization. The reason is that everyone is self-centered.


Those in a governing position have no choice but to teach that complaints, complaints, and chatter are harmful to the church. Because I think complaints or complaints are bad energy. In a polite way, they think that it is the devil and Satan's masterpiece, and they prevent complaints or complaints in the first place by misleading or reprimanding such saints.


Even if children complain or complain at home, they ignore it as young.


By the way, Will the organization be happy if we really stop complaints and complaints? I think we shouldn't think about it.




Fake happiness


Since there are no complaints and complaints, it can be said that the church is a really happy place. If there is no complaint or complaint, there must be no greed. There should be no expectation. There must be no hope. Are you happy?


Complaints are the real problem. Complaints are the real problem. It's intended to attack leadership with intent. However, if you ask for improvement and wait with complaints, it will have other positive aspects.


So you shouldn't just complain. You shouldn't just complain. If you find something wrong, you should find a way to improve it and talk to them. And we should discuss it formally and go out for development, not chatter.




Suggestions for improvement


When making suggestions for improvement, it is not too late for me to make a decision after seeing the results. I have been running diet meetings for a long time, so I found that most people have doctoral diet theories and like to say them. But I also found out that they talk too much about things that are not theirs.


The theory that has not been experienced and practiced is actually a dead theory. It does not affect others.


Therefore, when suggesting improvement, it is necessary to take enough time to think, think about, implement what is practicable, and gradually expand.



Real happiness


You must let go of your greed. But you have to have expectations. And hope is the driving force that sees the light ahead when there is no possibility. Then, will I be happy if I look forward to it and hope? That is not enough.


For Christians, happiness is knowing God's will. There will be frustration and failure in the process, but one day, when you realize God's will, you will find that all things that have been meaningful and heartfelt are meaningless. Because values are falling apart.




A good mood is called happiness.


People live with mood. If that feeling is good, I'm saying I'm happy. What should I do to make you feel better every day?


If you have no greed and a good heart, if you have mercy in your heart, you are more likely to feel better if you have a stronger heart to help others, not to help others.


You can see if you think for a moment whether it is easier to be happy by being greedy or happy when you give even a small amount of help to others.


Good heart is a magic that makes you feel better. To feel good is to be happy.
