信仰与生活(43)

短暂中拥抱幸福Sermon Of Life & Belief (43)

Embrace Happiness In Brevity

诗篇 Psalms 39:4-7

「在人生的路上无论你怎样打拼，有时幸福却像手中的沙，用力紧握，还是会从指缝中流失。」In the journey of life, happiness is like sands

in the hand. No matter how hard u grip

hold on it, it will somehow flow out

within the fingers.

but rather it strengthens his faith knowing that

his hope is in God.
