【双语灵修】幸福的泉源The Source Of Happiness

音频

“你必将生命的道路指示我。在你面前有满足的喜乐；在你右手中有永远的福乐。” - 诗 16:11

神造我们是为了让我们享受最大的幸福：与祂相交。我们通过爱神和享受与神的亲密关系来体会真正的幸福，在神的同在中被喜乐充满。

生命中最好的礼物来自神。但有些人更愿意去别处寻找。许多人在金钱中寻求幸福，还有些人在名望中寻找。人们也在享乐中寻求快乐，或追逐梦想，希望获得生命的满足。但最终他们发现，这些东西只不过是海市蜃楼，并不是真正的幸福。

追求幸福是一种合理的欲望。许多人每天都在急切地寻找它，最终却空手而归。

幸福的源泉不在于事物或我们自私自利的追求，而在于神。世上最美好的事物都不能使我们快乐，但神可以，因为祂造了我们，提名召我们，使我们属于祂。只有当我们认识神并全心全意爱祂时，我们才能体会到真正的幸福。

如果我们没有一个安全的向导，我们很容易在生活中走迷路。除神以外，我们还能信靠谁呢?

祷告

亲爱的神，甚愿没有什么能取代我们在你面前的喜乐。帮助我们在你那里获得满足。奉耶稣的名，阿们。

诗篇 16篇
1神啊，求你保佑我，因为我投靠你。2我的心哪，你曾对耶和华说：“你是我的主，我的好处不在你以外。”3论到世上的圣民，他们又美又善，是我最喜悦的。4以别神代替耶和华的，他们的愁苦必加增。他们所浇奠的血我不献上，我嘴唇也不提别神的名号。5耶和华是我的产业，是我杯中的份，我所得的你为我持守。6用绳量给我的地界坐落在佳美之处，我的产业实在美好！7我必称颂那指教我的耶和华，我的心肠在夜间也警戒我。
8我将耶和华常摆在我面前，因他在我右边，我便不致摇动。9因此我的心欢喜，我的灵快乐，我的肉身也要安然居住。
10因为你必不将我的灵魂撇在阴间，也不叫你的圣者见朽坏。
11你必将生命的道路指示我，在你面前有满足的喜乐，在你右手中有永远的福乐。

The Source Of Happiness</strong></h2>

"You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand." - Psalm 16:11

God created us to enjoy the greatest of happiness: communion with him. We experience true happiness by loving God and enjoying intimacy with him. In the presence of God there is fullness of joy.

The best gifts in life come from God. But some people prefer to look elsewhere. Many seek happiness in money; others, in fame. People also seek happiness in pleasures, or they follow their dreams of success, hoping to find fulfillment in their lives. But in the end they discover that those things offer only a mirage and not true happiness.

Happiness is a legitimate desire. Many people look for it eagerly every day of their lives, but they end up empty-handed.

The source of happiness is not in things or in our own selfish pursuits, but in God. The best things of this world cannot make us happy, but God can, because he created us, calls us by name, and makes us his own. We become truly happy only when we know God and love him with all our heart and soul.

If we do not have a safe guide, it is easy to take the wrong pathways in life. And whom can we trust but God to faithfully show us the way?

prayer
Dear God, may nothing replace the joy we have in being in your presence. Help us always to find satisfaction in you. In Jesus' name, Amen.
