"Don't ever let yourself become jealous of what someone else has." - Joyce Meyer

I found myself being envious of others countless of times this week. Things people say, like "she is really good in that", "she is the best"... somehow with this kind of phrases, my mind is always prone to thinking "oh, yea she is good (and I'm honest about that) but you are implying that I am not good enough". Makes me sad. Why do I even care about what others think? Maybe they don't think of me the way I think they do. Maybe I am just too sensitive. Isn't what God think of me enough? Just last week I posted on Fb:

创世记 1:31 神看着一切所造的都甚好.
神所造的一切都好 --> 神造我 --> 他看这所造的我甚好，在他的眼里我很美丽，这样就够了. 感恩 :)
Translation:
Genesis 1:31 Then God looked over all He had made, and saw that it was very good!
Everything God created is good --> God created me --> He looked at me, whom he created, and saw that it is very good, in His eyes I am beautiful -- knowing this is enough. Grateful :)

I should really remind myself daily that God loves me and He thinks I am very good! ;) I may not be as good as others, I may not be the best, but I am a child of the most high God. I am a royalty. 1 Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His wonderful light. 



Putting the above aside, sigh, I am very sad. Was having dinner with my colleague and her family just now.. towards the end they decided to burn candles and "worship" I don't know what, because they think the "fengshui" of their house is not good. Of course I quickly dismissed myself and went home. My heart is saddened. Sigh, what else can I do but pray.
