00:01:04Papa?
00:01:06Mama?
00:01:08Sister?
00:01:14What kind of attitude is that?
00:01:17Listen here, Jane Dinguo.
00:01:19You have to send her off tomorrow.
00:01:21I don't want to see her.
00:01:23Please, be reasonable.
00:01:25She's Wenya's father.
00:01:27I should take care of her.
00:01:28Where would I send her to?
00:01:29I don't care.
00:01:30It's not my problem.
00:01:31Send her to her mom's house.
00:01:32Can you keep it down?
00:01:34She's still sleeping.
00:01:36It's not like you don't know.
00:01:38Her mother's restaurant is very busy.
00:01:40And she has a sister.
00:01:41If I send over Wenya,
00:01:42how could she have the time?
00:01:44Besides, I was given custody of the kid,
00:01:46so I can't not take care of her.
00:01:48The kid? The kid?
00:01:49That's all you ever talk about.
00:01:52What about me, though?
00:01:56This is no way to live.
00:02:00Hey, what are you doing?
00:02:02She goes, I go.
00:02:04If she doesn't leave, I go.
00:02:06It doesn't have to be like this.
00:02:14Wenya.

00:14:41When she was young I really wronged her I didn't take good care of her
00:14:49She's about to take her college entrance exams and
00:14:52I want to give her a good positive environment. Let's not think about anything else right now

00:16:28Dad what's wrong?
00:16:31Your mother's in the hospital, huh? We didn't tell you because we didn't want it to affect your studies
00:16:49Hey Wenya, how's mom?
00:16:58The
00:17:03Doctor said she had a brain hemorrhage
00:17:06We're lucky she got here soon if they caught it later
00:17:11She might not be here
00:17:15Listen she's really lucky to be alive
00:17:20Hey Jing
00:17:22Where's our stepfather?
00:17:24Don't talk about him
00:17:26He's the reason your mother is in here. What?
00:17:30Wait, tell me what happened
00:17:35He brought some floozy back home with him and your mom ran into them, how could she not be angry with him
00:17:44Not to mention
00:17:47Even though he knows your mom is here. Not only does he not care. He seized all the family's assets
00:17:53That's too much
00:17:56I'm gonna settle in yeah
00:17:59The most important thing now is making sure mom gets better
00:18:04Also, promise me you won't mention it in front of her. She can't get agitated right now
00:18:09Yeah, helping your mom is more important
00:18:12Wenjing, Wenya, there's some things I need to do. Since you're here to help your mom out, I'll be heading home now
00:18:28Hey, you don't look well. I won't live at the school anymore. I'll help you care for mom
00:18:33I'll help you take care of Wenjing
00:18:35I'll help you take care of mom
00:18:37I'll help you take care of Wenjing
00:18:39I'll help you take care of mom
00:18:41I'll help you take care of mom
00:19:11Mom!
00:19:42Mom!
00:19:44What is it?
00:19:47Mom
00:19:49Mom don't cry. It's okay. I'm here mom
00:20:01Ma, medicine
00:20:06Mom, medicine
00:20:11Mom, medicine
00:20:26Tao Huizhen's family
00:20:30Your balance requires another payment. You need to pay as soon as possible or we'll have to stop treating your mother
00:20:41Why are you here?
00:20:43Why are you here?
00:21:09This is my mother's house
00:21:12This is my mother's house, so I...
00:21:14Who is it?
00:21:16It's for you
00:21:18Oh, Wenya
00:21:22What are you doing here?
00:21:25My mom's been in the hospital, but you don't seem to care
00:21:31My dad's covered the medical bills, but we're running out of money. Can you help with medical expenses?
00:21:42Wenya, don't you understand? The restaurant has been losing money for years. There's a ton of debts to pay
00:21:50I don't have any money right now
00:21:54How about this? When I get some money, I'll send it over to you
00:21:58When my mom managed it, business was really good
00:22:04But now when she needs money, you can't just do nothing
00:22:12At least get my mom's money to pay for these bills
00:22:16You think I have money? I don't have any to give you
00:22:22You lived with my mom all those years. How could you be like this?
00:22:27Fine, forget it. I'm going to divorce her anyway
00:22:31So don't come here again. Go! Get out!
00:22:34My mom helped you!
00:22:35Get out!
00:22:36How could you?
00:22:37Go!
00:22:38How could you do this?
00:22:41Don't you have a conscience?
00:23:05Hey, dad
00:23:07Have some milk
00:23:11Your mother will get out soon
00:23:15But your stepfather has taken the house
00:23:18She doesn't have anywhere to go
00:23:21Talk it over with her
00:23:24And see if she'll move in here with us
00:23:29You know how mom can be
00:23:32She has a lot of pride
00:23:36In this situation, I don't think she would want to come here
00:23:40My sister and I talked about it. We want to rent a place
00:23:47Okay. In the next few days, I'll help you find a place
00:23:51Finish your homework and go to bed
00:24:36Mom, time for your medicine
00:24:40Just set it down. I'll take it later
00:24:46Wenya, sit down
00:24:49I have something to say
00:24:56Wenya, you've grown up and...
00:25:01Wenya, you've grown up and you're independent
00:25:08One day, if I'm not here anymore
00:25:12You need to take care of yourself
00:25:15Mom, what are you talking about?
00:25:19Listen to me
00:25:21Your sister's health is bad
00:25:23She can't work like you
00:25:26So take good care of her
00:25:31Then I won't worry
00:25:34Mom, what does that mean?
00:25:37You're getting better every day
00:25:41You're about to go to college
00:25:44And I wanted more money to send you abroad somewhere good
00:25:54Not only can I not take care of either of you
00:25:59I've become a burden on you
00:26:03Mom, that isn't true
00:26:06Listen, my sister and I are grown up
00:26:10So no matter how hard things get
00:26:12I know we can all get through it
00:26:15Don't worry so much, mom
00:26:18Mom, just try to sleep
00:26:21Take your mind off it
00:26:29Mom...
00:26:59Mom...
00:27:29Mom...
00:27:59Mom...
00:28:29Mom...
00:28:32Mom...
00:28:35Mom...
00:28:39Mom...
00:28:42Mom...
00:28:44Mom...
00:28:54Miss Zhang!
00:28:55Miss Xiong! Miss Xiong! I have a question about this equation.
00:29:01Ah, my luck. It's actually pretty simple.
00:29:03I'm sorry, one second.
00:29:04Sure.
00:29:05Hey.
00:29:06Sis, what's up?
00:29:08Dad's in the hospital. They ran some tests and it's late stage liver cancer.
00:29:15It's what? Liver cancer?
00:29:25Hey, Wenya!
00:29:55Dad.
00:30:16Dad.
00:30:22You came.
00:30:24Mm-hmm.
00:30:29Don't worry about me.
00:30:33I'll be fine. It's no big deal.
00:30:42Just focus on school.
00:30:44Mm-hmm.
00:30:48Dad, don't worry. I'm studying every day. I'll definitely go to college.
00:31:18Mm-hmm.
00:31:48I never imagined that Jingguo would get cancer.
00:32:16My household's falling apart.
00:32:20I was hoping to borrow more money and expand the factory.
00:32:25But I guess I can't now.
00:32:27You still want to borrow money from him?
00:32:29We still haven't paid back any of the money we already borrowed.
00:32:33Wenya's mother is bedridden and their father is like this now.
00:32:37They're more in need of money.
00:32:40I think we should pay them back.
00:32:43We can't. The factory's barely made any money back yet.
00:32:47We need to pay the staff. Not to mention, some goes to officials. Pay them back.
00:32:54Uncle.
00:32:55Aunt.
00:32:56Hey, Wenya.
00:33:02Uncle, have you been busy?
00:33:06Since both my parents are sick, and I'm studying for exams,
00:33:13and my sister can't take care of both of them,
00:33:18can you help look after my dad a bit?
00:33:21Wenya, these last few years we've been so busy with our business.
00:33:26We're trying to expand the factory.
00:33:29There's no way your uncle could spend time away.
00:33:32Wenya, we're extremely busy. We need to go now, okay?
00:33:36Come, let's go.
00:33:38Don't go.
00:33:45Hello?
00:33:46Auntie, this is Wenya.
00:33:49I'm taking the college entrance exam soon.
00:33:52Is there any way you can help look after Dad?
00:33:54Well, I would, but I really can't take time off from work right now.
00:33:58I hope you understand.
00:34:00Okay.
00:34:30Okay.
00:34:47Michelle.
00:34:48Hey, Wenya.
00:34:50I need to take a week off.
00:34:53Is there a reason you need so much time?
00:34:57My dad is in the hospital, and he needs a lot of tests in the next few days.
00:35:04Wenya, there's only three months until exams.
00:35:09It's an important time, but it's your dad.
00:35:12You can figure it out. Remember to study.
00:35:16I will. Thank you, Michelle.
00:35:22Wenya is such a good kid.
00:35:25She's smart, has good grades, and I know she can get into a good college.
00:35:31It's a shame her situation is so unfortunate.
00:35:37Her mom is bedridden, and Dad's in the hospital.
00:35:42That poor kid.
00:35:46Wenya really has a hard life.
00:35:49If this keeps up, her schoolwork will suffer.
00:35:53It would be a shame if she couldn't go to a good college.
00:35:57Michelle.
00:36:00Listen, don't take it to heart.
00:36:03They say that life is full of ups and downs, and no one has a life that is all smooth sailing.
00:36:10No one knows what setbacks they'll encounter or what difficulties they will face.
00:36:15Don't you think so?
00:36:20Hey, you're home.
00:36:22Look who's here.
00:36:26Hi, Aunt Cheng. Aunt Li.
00:36:28Wenya, you're back.
00:36:30What brings you here?
00:36:31How are you? Are you tired? Come have a seat.
00:36:34Okay. Oh, I just bought some fruit. I'll go prepare it for us.
00:36:37Okay.
00:36:42We can do this in the living room.
00:36:48Sis, let me help.
00:36:50Yingying, Lixi, we've been friends all these years.
00:36:54You know me well. I'm so competitive.
00:36:58No matter what I do, I never want to get left behind.
00:37:04These years, in order to make people think well of me,
00:37:10I focused all my energy on business.
00:37:14I just never thought things would be like this.
00:37:24Now, I have nothing.
00:37:27I'm sick, and I'm a burden on my children.
00:37:34Honestly, if it weren't for my kids,
00:37:42I'd have nothing to live for.
00:37:44Huizhen, don't be like this.
00:37:47I understand what you're going through.
00:37:52Anyone in your shoes would be upset.
00:37:56A few years ago, I worked night and day to earn enough
00:38:01for my son to go to school, but I ruined my health.
00:38:06My son didn't excel. He didn't get in college, and he gambled.
00:38:12He gambled away all our money and got into fights with people,
00:38:19spent three years in jail.
00:38:24I was just like how you are.
00:38:27I was always crying and felt hope was gone.
00:38:31I wondered why did I have such a worthless son.
00:38:36He brought me only humiliation.
00:38:39I just felt like I couldn't go on.
00:38:43Auntie, why is life always so full of suffering?
00:38:49Life would be a lot better without pain.
00:38:53At the time, I thought the same thing.
00:38:56Why are people's lives so painful?
00:38:59Why can't we escape from all the suffering?
00:39:02When I started to believe and understand the truth of God's words,
00:39:07I started to learn the truth.
00:39:09Mankind is corrupt, and there's meaning to all of our suffering.
00:39:14You believe in God?
00:39:16In God?
00:39:17During my very worst times, a friend of mine shared the gospel.
00:39:22He said,
00:39:23God created mankind. God rules over our destiny.
00:39:28Where we come from, where we go, our whole lives are arranged by God.
00:39:34If we believe in God, we'll understand these things about human life.
00:39:40It doesn't matter what difficulties we have, setbacks, or failures in our lives.
00:39:46It's all in God's will.
00:39:48We believe in God and have undergone difficulties.
00:39:52It allows us to see the truth and God's actions,
00:39:55gain God's care and protection, and walk the proper path.
00:40:01As long as we seek the truth and pray, rely on God in all things,
00:40:06God will protect us, care for us.
00:40:08He will give us a way out and resolve all our problems.
00:40:12My friend bore witness to the words and work of God in the last days
00:40:17and gave me a book of God's words.
00:40:21The word appears in the flesh.
00:40:24Ever since then, I've read God's words every day and prayed to Him.
00:40:29I shared all of my difficulties with God,
00:40:33and I met brothers and sisters, had fellowship.
00:40:37By that time, I understood
00:40:39God does carry in His hands the fate of mankind,
00:40:43rule over us, and arrange people's whole lives.
00:40:48We all live with pain every day because Satan has corrupted us.
00:40:53Humans turned their back on God,
00:40:55and we lost His care and protection, falling under Satan's domain.
00:40:59Satan has fooled mankind. That's why our lives are tragedy.
00:41:04People live only for vanity, for fame and status.
00:41:09It's all Satan's affliction on mankind.
00:41:12Living like this, of course we're in pain.
00:41:17I finally see things clearly.
00:41:19Actually, God allows people to suffer so
00:41:23in order to show mankind how Satan corrupts and afflicts us.
00:41:28This is the only way we can hate and reject Satan,
00:41:31and instead come pray to God, seek to live based on His words,
00:41:36cast off the shackles of sin, and gain God's salvation.
00:41:41This is God's will.
00:41:44All of this was my guidance from the words of God
00:41:48that made me understand the truth and truly know in my heart
00:41:52that God is love and only God can save all mankind.
00:41:58While believing in God,
00:42:00I've seen His guidance and His protection and His salvation in many things.
00:42:06My heart is brighter.
00:42:08Believing in God is great and is really the right path in life.
00:42:13Almighty God's words very clearly explain the root of people's pain in life.
00:42:18Let's take a look at His words together.
00:42:20Then you'll see.
00:42:21That sounds great.
00:42:23Let's read together.
00:42:42While believing in God,
00:42:44I've seen His guidance and His protection and His salvation in many things.
00:42:49My heart is brighter.
00:42:51Believing in God is great and is really the right path in life.
00:42:56Almighty God's words very clearly explain the root of people's pain in life.
00:43:02Let's read together.
00:43:13Later, when they were tempted by Satan, they had the poison of the serpent
00:43:18and the desire to betray Jehovah,
00:43:21and they lived under the influence of Satan.
00:43:24His thoughts were filled with evil and filth, without good or holiness.
00:43:32Is this not Satan?
00:43:36Mankind has developed through tens of thousands of years of history
00:43:40to get to where they are today.
00:43:41However, the mankind of my original creation has long ago sunk into degeneracy.
00:43:47They have already ceased to be what I want,
00:43:50and thus humanity, as they appear in my eyes,
00:43:53no longer deserves the name of mankind.
00:43:55They are rather the scum of mankind that Satan has taken captive,
00:43:59the rotten walking corpses that Satan lives in and in which it is clothed.
00:44:06People do not in the least believe in my existence,
00:44:09nor do they welcome my coming.
00:44:13Satan corrupts people
00:44:15through the education and influence of the national governments
00:44:19and the famous and great.
00:44:21Their lies and nonsense have become man's life and nature.
00:44:26Everyone for himself and the devil take the hindmost
00:44:29is a well-known satanic saying
00:44:31that has been instilled into everyone and become the human life.
00:44:36There are some other words of life philosophy that are also like this.
00:44:40Satan educates people through each nation's fine traditional culture
00:44:45and causes humanity to fall into
00:44:47and be engulfed in an expansive abyss of destruction.
00:44:51And in the end, people are destroyed by God
00:44:54because they serve Satan and resist God.
00:44:59We should read another part.
00:45:06For many years, the thoughts that people have relied upon for their survival
00:45:10have been corroding their hearts
00:45:12to the point that they have become treacherous, cowardly, and despicable.
00:45:17Not only do they lack willpower and resolve,
00:45:21but they have also become greedy, arrogant, and willful.
00:45:25They are utterly lacking any resolve that transcends the self.
00:45:29And even more, they don't have a bit of courage
00:45:32to shake off the strictures of these dark influences.
00:45:35People's thoughts and lives are rotten.
00:45:39Their perspectives on believing in God are still unbearably ugly.
00:45:45And even when people speak of their perspectives on belief in God,
00:45:49it is simply unbearable to hear.
00:45:52People are all cowardly, incompetent, despicable, as well as fragile.
00:45:57They do not feel disgust for the forces of darkness,
00:46:01and they do not feel love for the light and the truth.
00:46:05Instead, they do their utmost to expel them.
00:46:31A world in man's heart with no place for God is dark, empty, without hope.
00:46:48And so arose many social scientists, historians, and politicians
00:46:54to express theories of social science,
00:46:58the theory of human evolution,
00:47:00and other theories that contravene the truth
00:47:04that God created man to fill the heart and mind of man.
00:47:10And in this way, those who believe that God created everything become ever fewer,
00:47:15and those who believe in the theory of evolution become ever greater in number.
00:47:20More and more people treat records of the work of God and His words
00:47:24during the Old Testament age as myths and legends.
00:47:30In their hearts, people become indifferent to the dignity and greatness of God,
00:47:36to the tenet that God exists and holds dominion over all things.
00:47:43The survival of mankind and the fate of countries and nations
00:47:48are no longer important to them.
00:47:51Man lives in a hollow world,
00:47:53only concerned with eating, drinking, and the pursuit of pleasure.
00:47:58Wenya, why don't you read next?
00:48:01Sure.
00:48:21This is something that has eluded man since time immemorial to the present day.
00:48:28As for the reason why, it is not because the ways of God are too elusive
00:48:33or because the plan of God has yet to be realized,
00:48:37but because the heart and spirit of man are too distant from God.
00:48:41Therefore, even as man follows God,
00:48:45he unknowingly remains in the service of Satan.
00:48:51None actively seek out the footsteps or appearance of God,
00:48:56and none wish to exist in the care and keeping of God.
00:49:02Rather, they are willing to rely on the corrosion of Satan
00:49:06and the evil one in order to adapt to this world
00:49:09and to the rules of life the wicked mankind follows.
00:49:13At this point,
00:49:14the heart and spirit of man are sacrificed to Satan
00:49:19and become its sustenance.
00:49:22Moreover, the human heart and spirit
00:49:25become a place in which Satan can reside and a fitting playground for it.
00:49:30In this way,
00:49:31man unknowingly loses his understanding of the principles of being human
00:49:37and of the worth and purpose of human existence.
00:49:41The laws from God and the covenant between God and man
00:49:45gradually fade away in man's heart,
00:49:48and man no longer seeks or pays heed to God.
00:49:53As time passes, man no longer understands why God created man,
00:49:58nor does he understand the words that come from the mouth of God
00:50:02or realize all that is from God.
00:50:06Man begins to resist the laws and decrees from God.
00:50:12The heart and spirit of man become deadened.
00:50:16God loses the man of His original creation,
00:50:20and man loses the root of his beginning.
00:50:24This is the sorrow of this mankind.
00:50:30How do you feel after reading the words of Almighty God?
00:50:35These words are truly profound.
00:50:37I've never heard anything like this before.
00:50:40Please tell us more.
00:50:42The reason that the world is so dark and evil,
00:50:46that humans are ever so corrupt,
00:50:48and that our lives are overflowing with pain
00:50:52is directly related to mankind being so corrupted by Satan.
00:50:57Almighty God has clearly explained all of this.
00:51:01It is only after enduring such suffering
00:51:04that people are able to sense the darkness in the world,
00:51:08the corruption in mankind,
00:51:11and to realize that they need God's salvation.
00:51:15For thousands of years,
00:51:17Satan has used materialism, atheism, evolutionism,
00:51:21and other such fallacies to deceive and poison us.
00:51:26It has used demons and luminaries
00:51:28to plant all kinds of fallacies and lies in people's hearts.
00:51:32As in the sayings,
00:51:36Money makes the world go round.
00:51:38A man dies for money, a bird for food.
00:51:41One's destiny's in one's own hand.
00:51:43Knowledge can change your fate.
00:51:45Those who work with their minds govern those who work with their hands.
00:51:50There is no God within the world.
00:51:52There has never been any Savior.
00:51:54Man can conquer nature, and so on.
00:51:57People have mistaken these poisons from Satan as being the truth.
00:52:01They see them as wise proverbs,
00:52:04and they rely on them for guidance.
00:52:07They're all arrogant and self-important.
00:52:10They're self-assured and listen to no one.
00:52:13They're selfish and deceitful.
00:52:16They are full of lies.
00:52:18They cheat and they hurt one another.
00:52:21They don't confide in anyone or have any genuine relationships.
00:52:27People erect great walls between one another
00:52:32and are guarded with everyone.
00:52:34People just can't get along with others.
00:52:37If they aren't careful, they fear they'll make enemies.
00:52:41Wouldn't you say so yourselves?
00:52:43All you've said is true. No one has humanity.
00:52:47What problem does this speak to?
00:52:50That people have been corrupted and that their hearts are wicked.
00:52:55People seem to worship money and power.
00:52:58Being a whore isn't seen as shameful.
00:53:01No one cares about morality now.
00:53:04They wrestle each other over money, fame and fortune, and scheme for status.
00:53:09They cheat each other. They slaughter each other.
00:53:12They stop at nothing to achieve their individual goals.
00:53:15They are capable of doing terrible things.
00:53:18There's no sin they wouldn't commit.
00:53:21Even between parents and children, husband and wife,
00:53:24between all, there is cheating, exploitation, and there's betrayal.
00:53:29They are devoid of conscience.
00:53:31All they do is for their own personal benefit.
00:53:36You are quite right. None care about their conscience.
00:53:40They are always on guard with each other,
00:53:43and no one knows when they might be cheated by someone.
00:53:47Such a life is exhausting.
00:53:51How could our lives not be painful in such a corrupt and evil world?
00:53:55It's only logical.
00:53:58If we don't follow God and take the proper path,
00:54:01then we're susceptible to Satan's lies,
00:54:04to living in sin,
00:54:05and being harmed to the point that we're neither like man nor ghost.
00:54:09Can there be peace or joy this way?
00:54:12Can there be any happiness?
00:54:14No way. Everyone is bad.
00:54:17There's no kindness at all.
00:54:20Living in this world is nothing but suffering.
00:54:23This is indeed true.
00:54:25All families have their own problems, and all people have their own pain.
00:54:30If you stop and look around,
00:54:32what family lives in harmony and who has a happy life?
00:54:36All families have their own problem.
00:54:38It's difficult and exhausting for everyone.
00:54:41If people followed God,
00:54:43pursued the truth, and took the right path in life,
00:54:46they would certainly be blessed by God,
00:54:49and all of mankind would not be so corrupt,
00:54:52and people's lives wouldn't have so much pain.
00:54:55It is a pity that so few people truly believe in God,
00:55:00that so few people really love truth.
00:55:03The atheist Communist Party that rules China
00:55:06oppresses churches and persecutes believers.
00:55:10In such a country that resists God, you'll find few of His blessings.
00:55:14That's why society in China is so dark and evil,
00:55:18and why our lives are grueling and painful.
00:55:22All of this is true.
00:55:25If God hadn't come to save mankind,
00:55:28we'd all live in the midst of sin,
00:55:30and none would be safe from the trickery and harm of Satan.
00:55:34Everything that you're saying is indeed true.
00:55:37People are hypocritical and seem friendly outside.
00:55:41In fact, they cheat and they use each other.
00:55:45There is tremendous truth in the saying,
00:55:52When you have money and influence, everyone will fawn over you,
00:55:56but it all changes if you hit hard times.
00:56:00No one will stick with you. None will offer help.
00:56:04If someone has problems, others laugh at their expense.
00:56:11Just think about it.
00:56:12Back when I could lend money,
00:56:14friends and relatives would all fawn over me.
00:56:18But since I became seriously ill,
00:56:20they're all avoiding me.
00:56:22No one wants to help me.
00:56:25What pains me the most is
00:56:27even my husband, whom I lived with for more than ten years,
00:56:31not only betrayed me,
00:56:33but he has actually seized the family property.
00:56:41Now I see it clearly.
00:56:43Relationships are based on self-interest,
00:56:46getting what they can.
00:56:48They're all devoid of feeling.
00:56:50They can't be relied on.
00:56:53What of marriage then, or of love?
00:56:56It's all a trap, and it is hell.
00:57:02It's wonderful that we could communicate like this.
00:57:06Believing in God is the right path for humans.
00:57:11Without God's care and protection, life is just great suffering.
00:57:16Departing from God is no way to live.
00:57:21Huizhen, now you can see the darkness and evil of the human world,
00:57:26and you realize that belief in God is the right path.
00:57:30That's so wonderful.
00:57:32God saves those who follow His way and who truly believe in Him.
00:57:37You've undergone such ordeals.
00:57:39Now you can come to God and receive His salvation.
00:57:43This is wonderful. It's a true blessing in disguise.
00:57:48The way that you explained faith in God helped me open my heart.
00:57:53I've encountered such misfortune and have suffered so much.
00:57:56Only now am I able to understand why.
00:58:02It's getting late.
00:58:03Let's eat something and then continue our conversation.
00:58:05Yes. Okay.
00:58:06Why don't you rest?
00:58:07I'll make dinner.
00:58:08Auntie, you and Mom keep talking. We'll take care of it.
00:58:11Yeah, just you wait. I'm a real force in the kitchen.
00:58:13Oh, great.
00:58:14Auntie, please have some fruit. Thank you.
00:58:16Thanks.
00:58:17They're such good kids.
00:58:19Take things in stride. You'll get better more quickly.
00:58:25Wenya, did you notice it?
00:58:28Mom's in a really good mood today.
00:58:30I have.
00:58:31She's been smiling.
00:58:32It's been so long since we've seen her smiling.
00:58:35It's true.
00:58:37I'll help out too.
00:58:38Oh, Auntie, after hearing what you said today,
00:58:42my mom's spirits were really lifted.
00:58:44Thank God.
00:58:45I didn't get it till now.
00:58:47The reason people's lives are so painful is
00:58:49they don't believe in God and distance themselves from Him.
00:58:52Then they're harmed by Satan.
00:58:55Auntie, you understand a lot because of your belief in God.
00:58:58Yes, belief in God is cool because you're able to understand tons.
00:59:01Auntie, we'd love it if you'd tell us more about faith after we eat.
00:59:04Yeah.
00:59:05Okay.
00:59:06Almighty God has uttered many truths and revealed many mysteries.
00:59:10He has clearly explained how we may gain God's blessings
00:59:14and what our proper path is.
00:59:17As long as we carefully read His words,
00:59:19we'll be able to grasp much of the truth.
00:59:36The truth is,
00:59:38the truth is,
00:59:40the truth is,
00:59:42the truth is,
00:59:44the truth is,
00:59:46the truth is,
00:59:48the truth is,
00:59:50the truth is,
00:59:52the truth is,
00:59:54the truth is,
00:59:56the truth is,
00:59:58the truth is,
01:00:00the truth is,
01:00:02the truth is,
01:00:04the truth is,
01:00:06the truth is,
01:00:08the truth is,
01:00:10the truth is,
01:00:12the truth is,
01:00:14the truth is,
01:00:16the truth is,
01:00:18the truth is,
01:00:20the truth is,
01:00:22the truth is,
01:00:24the truth is.
01:00:27See?
01:00:28All that God has created is so beautiful.
01:00:31You really should come walk around.
01:00:33You're right.
01:00:34Going for a walk is so uplifting.
01:00:37Hearing your fellowship on Almighty God's words
01:00:40has helped me open up my heart.
01:00:44I used to believe
01:00:45all for themselves and the devil take the ends.
01:00:48Those who work with their minds govern those who work with their hands.
01:00:52Those who work with their minds govern those who work with their hands.
01:00:56Also, one's destiny is within one's own hand,
01:00:59and money makes the world go round.
01:01:02All of these sayings are so true.
01:01:04The world really is like that.
01:01:07Money is power,
01:01:08and what's more,
01:01:09it allows people to live with dignity and happiness.
01:01:14That's why I would run myself into the ground to manage my business.
01:01:18I was obsessed with making money.
01:01:23I've wasted much of my life pursuing money,
01:01:27and now here I am.
01:01:31These satanic fallacies have done me such harm.
01:01:35Had I not read Almighty God's words,
01:01:37I'd been killed by Satan and never known what was going on.
01:01:42At last, I now understand.
01:01:45These fallacies, all from Satan,
01:01:48bring nothing but pain and darkness.
01:01:51It's true.
01:01:53Almighty God so clearly states
01:01:55the root of the evil and darkness of the world.
01:01:59Belief in God and reading His word make so much clear.
01:02:04The truth of Satan corrupting man is clear,
01:02:07but we can escape from this pain.
01:02:09That really is true.
01:02:12After several years of belief and reading His words,
01:02:17unknowingly I understood many truths.
01:02:20I could recognize Satan's lies
01:02:23and no longer placed emphasis on that world.
01:02:28Riches and fame, one's status and career,
01:02:32they're not happiness.
01:02:34They do not bring any joy.
01:02:38I think that living for fame and status within the corrupt flesh
01:02:42brings great suffering,
01:02:44and that suffering brings with it great ills.
01:02:47You've got it right. That's just how it is.
01:02:50Mom! Auntie!
01:02:52Wenya!
01:02:54I brought us some water.
01:02:57I pass by a pavilion. Let's go there and sit.
01:03:00Here, I can push you.
01:03:01Okay.
01:03:07When one believes in God and one pursues the truth,
01:03:11when one lives by God's words and He's present in all aspects of one's life,
01:03:16only then can one be truly happy.
01:03:19I now believe in God with all my heart and I pursue the truth.
01:03:23I'm no longer troubled by worldly things like money, fame, or status.
01:03:28Even though I have less money and material comforts,
01:03:32God's truly with me and His words guide me.
01:03:36It brings me comfort.
01:03:37I've something to lean on and feel at ease,
01:03:40so I'm happy and joyful.
01:03:42No amount of money could ever buy that.
01:03:44It's no wonder you're so much happier now.
01:03:47I've never seen you like this.
01:03:49You're completely different.
01:03:52Belief in God really is wonderful.
01:03:54It is.
01:03:56Just think if we didn't believe in God and grasp the truth,
01:04:00all we knew was relying on our hard work struggling alone against fate.
01:04:05Then even if we had money, status, or power,
01:04:09would it change our fate?
01:04:12We've all seen unbelievers who own lavish homes,
01:04:15who come from wealthy families and drive expensive cars,
01:04:18and yet they are not at ease.
01:04:20They are without peace and joy.
01:04:22None can escape the sense of emptiness and suffering.
01:04:26Many take drugs and ruin their lives.
01:04:29Some commit suicide. These are all known facts.
01:04:33Would you say when the great disaster arrives,
01:04:37that money, fame, and status will save mankind?
01:04:43When the disaster comes,
01:04:44those with money, those with status will die just like the rest.
01:04:48They will.
01:04:49Hey, during the Indian Ocean tsunami,
01:04:52people with money and power died just like everyone else.
01:04:55That's right.
01:04:56Those who believe in God are different.
01:04:58If we read God's words, we can grasp the truth and perceive His will.
01:05:03We can see many things clearly.
01:05:05We will know the type of person God blesses.
01:05:08We'll pursue the truth,
01:05:10put it into practice according to His words and do as He commends.
01:05:14That way, we can gradually shun evil,
01:05:17cast off Satan's deception and shackles,
01:05:19and walk life's proper path.
01:05:21Once we gain truth through our faith in God,
01:05:24we can cast off sin and live by His words.
01:05:27And in the disaster, He'll protect us.
01:05:30No matter how great the disaster, we will not die.
01:05:34Huizhen, don't you think this is the greatest blessing?
01:05:37It is.
01:05:38I now understand that
01:05:40only by belief in God can we gain God's protection, peace, and joy.
01:05:45Were we to pursue knowledge and wealth or great status and fame,
01:05:50but to do so, we departed from God,
01:05:53then it would all be meaningless and empty.
01:05:55No matter how much knowledge someone has,
01:05:57it cannot change their fate or bring them happiness.
01:06:01Jingming, it's wonderful to grasp the truth.
01:06:05Hearing the words of Almighty God in fellowship,
01:06:09it's like opening up a window. It's brighter.
01:06:12I feel like I have something to lean on, and I'm not as depressed.
01:06:16Almighty God expresses truth to save us from the harm of the devil Satan.
01:06:21Only this is true love.
01:06:23I accept Almighty God's work of the last days.
01:06:28I will read His words thoroughly, and I will follow Him.
01:06:31Thanks be to God!
01:06:33Auntie, my mom has been so down in the dumps lately.
01:06:37She just sits alone and cries.
01:06:39Nothing we've said to her has seemed to help.
01:06:42It's been very upsetting for my sister and I to see her in such pain,
01:06:47and we've had no idea what to do.
01:06:50Since you've been sharing fellowship on Almighty God's words,
01:06:54my mom's mood has brightened so.
01:06:56She's changed her life and follows Almighty God.
01:06:59It's just wonderful!
01:07:00Thank God!
01:07:01It seems Almighty God's words can truly change a person's heart,
01:07:05and resolve our difficulties and suffering.
01:07:09I will believe in Almighty God as well,
01:07:11and I'll read His words, and I'll follow Him.
01:07:18Mom, look!
01:07:20So that's how you wrapped it?
01:07:22It's not bad.
01:07:23Right. Be encouraging.
01:07:25Here, try again.
01:07:27Okay.
01:07:28By the way, since Wenya must study for her college entrance exam,
01:07:34and she cares for her dad,
01:07:36we have agreed that for a little while,
01:07:39Sister Li and her husband will help care for Wenya's dad.
01:07:42That way she can focus on studies, okay?
01:07:45Yes. This way you can find peace and not worry so much.
01:07:49I can't allow that. Everyone's busy spreading the gospel.
01:07:53It's too much.
01:07:54We can't impose on our brothers and sisters.
01:07:56We are brothers and sisters.
01:07:58We should love each other,
01:07:59and we should help out whoever is having difficulties.
01:08:02Yes.
01:08:03Right.
01:08:04Thank you, aunties.
01:08:06You don't need to thank us.
01:08:08Thank God!
01:08:09Thank God! This is God's love for us.
01:08:13This is what God teaches, that we should help each other.
01:08:16In time, you will understand.
01:08:24Wenya.
01:08:25Wenya, you're back.
01:08:27Thank you for helping my dad.
01:08:31Thanks so much.
01:08:32It's no problem.
01:08:43Auntie, I've changed the water.
01:08:45Oh, that's great. Just put it there.
01:08:47If you're set, I'll clean the room now.
01:08:48Okay.
01:08:54Wow.
01:08:56Oh, Wenya, you're back.
01:08:57Yeah.
01:08:58Wenya.
01:09:00I can't believe how clean it is.
01:09:02Thank you, auntie.
01:09:03Come now. Don't be so polite.
01:09:05There is no need. We're all from the house of God.
01:09:07Now here, give me your bag.
01:09:09It's okay. I can get it.
01:09:10You're still being too polite with me.
01:09:11There's no need.
01:09:12Here, you rest for a bit.
01:09:14We're going to sit and eat soon.
01:09:23Okay.
01:09:54Hi, auntie.
01:09:55What are you doing?
01:09:56These are herbs your auntie Wang and I picked in the mountains a few days ago.
01:10:00I finished washing and drying them.
01:10:03They're really good for your mother's illness.
01:10:05Take them to her.
01:10:07Thank you, auntie.
01:10:08You're welcome.
01:10:09Here, I'll put them in your bag.
01:10:12Every morning, you'll boil some water,
01:10:15then take a handful of herbs and slowly put them into the pot.
01:10:18Just let them steep there.
01:10:23Okay.
01:10:54Wenya, how'd it go?
01:10:56Great. I'm all done.
01:10:58I'll do this.
01:10:59Okay.
01:11:24Dad?
01:11:26Dad, what's wrong?
01:11:28Dad!
01:11:30Dad!
01:11:32Dad!
01:11:33Doctor!
01:11:34Nurse!
01:11:35Someone help!
01:11:37Dad!
01:11:38Dad!
01:11:39Dad!
01:11:40Dad!
01:11:41Dad!
01:11:42Doctor!
01:11:44Dad!
01:11:45Dad!
01:11:46Dad!
01:11:47Doctor!
01:11:48Dad!
01:11:49Doctor!
01:11:55There's no heartbeat.
01:11:56No heartbeat?
01:11:57Get ready for CPR.
01:11:58Okay.
01:12:18Dad.
01:12:36Wenya.
01:12:38Try not to be sad.
01:12:41In my heart, I know Dad really loved you.
01:12:44Dad is gone now.
01:12:48What am I going to do?
01:12:53Wenya.
01:12:55I know your dad is gone,
01:12:57but your sister and I are here.
01:13:01We three have each other, mother and daughters.
01:13:04I know that life has been very difficult for you.
01:13:07We never were able to give you a home that was whole.
01:13:13When your dad and I divorced,
01:13:15you were sent to live with him.
01:13:19Your stepmother was unkind.
01:13:21She left your dad with no choice.
01:13:24He was forced to send you to stay with me.
01:13:28I know that life has been very difficult for you.
01:13:31She left your dad with no choice.
01:13:34He was forced to send you to stay with me.
01:13:39I was really confused back then.
01:13:44I only focused on my business.
01:13:47I didn't make time for you.
01:13:51I would send you to stay with relatives and friends.
01:13:54I had others care for you.
01:13:57Every time I would come to get you,
01:14:02I'd see you sitting all alone waiting for me
01:14:07to come and get you.
01:14:11You were like an orphan longing for a home.
01:14:18I felt such shame.
01:14:22Why was my life so difficult?
01:14:27Why couldn't I have had a family that was whole?
01:14:42I failed at what was most important.
01:14:45I wasn't a good mother.
01:14:48I didn't take care of you.
01:14:52Now your poor father has passed away.
01:14:55I am very sick.
01:14:58And your sister isn't well.
01:15:03And you are still so young.
01:15:06You're not even an adult yet.
01:15:09But the burden of this family has fallen on your small shoulders.
01:15:14What can I do?
01:15:16I can't tell you how it pains me to see you suffer so much.
01:15:21I am so indebted to you, Wenya.
01:15:27Mom, now that we believe in God, we'll be fine.
01:15:33In God's house,
01:15:34I've come to know the love of brothers and sisters,
01:15:37the warmth of God's family.
01:15:40Were it not for faith in God, I wouldn't be able to go on.
01:15:44I wouldn't be able to go on.
01:15:49Since believing in God,
01:15:51we've felt His love and the love of brothers and sisters.
01:15:56We finally see that only God is love,
01:16:00and only God loves us.
01:16:04We must rely upon God.
01:16:06People can't be relied on.
01:16:14Amen!
01:16:22O God, You have saved me, given me love and the warmth of a family.
01:16:28I will always believe in You and follow You.
01:16:32O God, You are truly my rock.
01:16:36My dad passed away. I'm depressed.
01:16:39Dear God, I beg You to guide me, to lead me on the path before me. Amen!
01:17:00Wenya.
01:17:03Wenya, Auntie Jiang is here to see us. Let's go.
01:17:07Let's pray together for her.
01:17:09Auntie.
01:17:10Hey, Wenya, come.
01:17:16Feeling any better?
01:17:17Yes, much.
01:17:19Wenya, you must properly grasp your father's passing.
01:17:25Where we come from and where we go is all within God's rule.
01:17:31Everyone comes to earth with their individual mission.
01:17:35Once it's completed, then they will return.
01:17:39Do you understand this?
01:17:43If you really understand, you won't suffer as much.
01:17:51Things of the past are all done.
01:17:54Once we believe in God, we start to walk the proper path in life.
01:17:59If we really listen to God's words and obey His work,
01:18:03He'll certainly bless us.
01:18:06You need to know that God is with us now.
01:18:09The church is our true family. We're no longer alone.
01:18:15No matter what we face, we can pray to God,
01:18:18and He will help us and guide us.
01:18:20Isn't that true?
01:18:23Let's read Almighty God's words together.
01:18:25Okay.
01:18:33Amen!
01:19:03Since the day man came into existence, God has been steady in His work,
01:19:19managing this universe, and directing the change and movement of all things.
01:19:27Like all things,
01:19:29man quietly and unknowingly receives the nourishment
01:19:32of the sweetness and rain and dew from God.
01:19:36Like all things, man unknowingly lives under the orchestration of God's hand.
01:19:43Wenya.
01:20:00But mankind is still reluctant to close their eyes.
01:20:04Braving it all drags out an ignoble existence in this world
01:20:08and bodies without the consciousness of souls.
01:20:12You live like such with no hope.
01:20:15He exists like such with no aim.
01:20:20There is only the Holy One in the legend
01:20:23who will come to save those who moan in suffering
01:20:26and long desperately for His arrival.
01:20:30This belief cannot be realized so far in the people who are unconscious.
01:20:36However, the people still yearn for it so.
01:20:41The Almighty has mercy on these people who suffer deeply.
01:20:46At the same time, He is fed up with these people who have no consciousness
01:20:52because He has to wait too long for the answer from humans.
01:20:59He desires to seek.
01:21:01Seek your heart and your spirit.
01:21:06He wants to bring you food and water and to awaken you
01:21:11so you're no longer thirsty, no longer hungry.
01:21:16When you are weary
01:21:20and when you begin to feel the desolation of this world,
01:21:26do not be perplexed.
01:21:28Do not cry.
01:21:30Almighty God, the Watcher, will embrace your arrival anytime.
01:21:37He is watching by your side,
01:21:40waiting for you to turn back.
01:21:44He's waiting for the day your memory suddenly recovers,
01:21:49becoming conscious of the fact that you came from God.
01:21:54You further realize that the Almighty has been watching there,
01:21:59awaiting your return all along.
01:22:05He longs bitterly,
01:22:09waiting for a response without an answer.
01:22:13His watching is priceless and
01:22:17is for the heart and the spirit of humans.
01:22:22Perhaps this watching is indefinite
01:22:27and perhaps this watching is at its end.
01:22:34But you should know exactly where your heart and spirit are now.
01:22:43Amen!
01:22:45Amen!
01:23:00Wenya, having read Almighty God's words,
01:23:04can you feel that it's God, the Lord of creation,
01:23:08With His words, He comforts us and He leads us.
01:23:13His words are indeed true.
01:23:17We are all children of God.
01:23:19He alone truly cares for us.
01:23:23The entirety of our lives is arranged by Him,
01:23:28and no matter what befalls us or how we suffer,
01:23:32it's God training and perfecting us and guiding us through His words,
01:23:37so we can accept truth and live by truth.
01:23:42We haven't believed in God for long, so we don't grasp much.
01:23:48But in a few years, we'll grasp more and have an understanding of God.
01:23:52Then we will know the significance of obeying God.
01:23:57Our family has suffered so very much, but none more than poor Wenya.
01:24:05From a young age, she was denied the warmth of a family,
01:24:09and now her father has died.
01:24:13If she didn't believe in God, she would be suffering so very much.
01:24:19As her mother, I wouldn't know what to do.
01:24:24But thankfully, now that I believe and read Almighty God's words,
01:24:29I understand that all the pain and sorrow we suffer now
01:24:33is meant to help us to mature.
01:24:36I didn't understand before, and I railed against heaven and earth.
01:24:41How could I have been so foolish, so rebellious and obtuse?
01:24:48Wenya, look, many children have grown up in very nice homes
01:24:55and have never had to suffer.
01:24:58But as a result, they understand little as adults.
01:25:01They're not able to live on their own. They're far too fragile.
01:25:05Then there are the kids who've known suffering.
01:25:09Once grown, they're really strong and resolved.
01:25:13They can live on their own.
01:25:17One thing I've learned is human life is full of ups and also downs,
01:25:23and we all come out of difficulties.
01:25:26Therefore, it's not a bad thing that we suffer.
01:25:29In fact, bliss might cause harm. Wouldn't you say so?
01:25:34Auntie Zheng and Mom say it well.
01:25:37Wenya, just think, if our family hadn't gone through such suffering,
01:25:43Mom wouldn't have thought to believe in God.
01:25:45The two of us definitely wouldn't believe.
01:25:49Don't you think this blessing has come from misfortune?
01:25:53Mm.
01:25:56Mom, Auntie, my heart's brighter from hearing your fellowship today.
01:26:04I know that these things I've suffered were all God's rule and arrangements.
01:26:08They'll actually benefit me.
01:26:12If my life had lacked suffering, I'm afraid I wouldn't believe in God,
01:26:18but would follow the world's evil trends like drinking or online gaming
01:26:22or going to karaoke bars.
01:26:26I now feel that all I've suffered has actually been God's protection of me.
01:26:34He really loves us so much.
01:26:38I must do my best to believe and pursue truth.
01:26:53Are you aware of the burden you shoulder, your commission, and your responsibility?
01:27:02Where is your historic sense of mission?
01:27:06Is your task a heavy one?
01:27:15They are poor, pitiable, blind, and at a loss,
01:27:21wailing in the darkness.
01:27:25Where is the way?
01:27:28How they yearn for the light like a shooting star
01:27:32to suddenly descend and disperse the force of darkness
01:27:36that has oppressed men for so many years.
01:27:41Who can know just how anxiously they hope and how they pine day and night for this?
01:27:50These men who suffer deeply remain imprisoned in the dungeons of darkness
01:27:55without hope of release even on the day that the light flashes.
01:28:00When will they weep no longer?
01:28:05These fragile spirits who have never been granted rest
01:28:09are truly suffering such misfortune.
01:28:12They have long been sealed off by the ruthless ropes
01:28:16and the history that has frozen in place.
01:28:19Who has ever heard the sound of their wailing?
01:28:22Who has ever seen their miserable visage?
01:28:27Have you ever thought how grieved and anxious God's heart is?
01:28:32How can He bear to see the innocent mankind He created
01:28:36with His own hands suffering such torment?
01:28:42Have you forgotten that you are one of the victims?
01:28:48Out of your love for God,
01:28:50are you not willing to strive to save those who have survived?
01:28:56Are you not willing to use all your effort to repay the God
01:29:00who loves mankind like His own flesh and blood?
01:29:19Mom, you know, I think that our family truly is honored.
01:29:25You see, just when we fell into desperate circumstances,
01:29:29we unexpectedly heard God's voice and were lifted up before His throne.
01:29:35It's truly God's grace.
01:29:38I've been feeling the joy of believing in God lately.
01:29:42It seems there'll no longer be pain or sorrow.
01:29:45From now on, I'll enjoy peace and joy.
01:29:49I've been thinking there must be many people out there
01:29:53living in pain and feeling alone like we used to.
01:29:57They haven't heard the voice of God yet,
01:30:00so they're still living in darkness with no path to take.
01:30:05I think that we have a duty to spread the gospel
01:30:09of the descent of the heavenly kingdom to them
01:30:11so they'll be able to return to the house of God and enjoy His love.
01:30:15That sounds great.
01:30:16We should spread the gospel to those in need who are suffering
01:30:19and bring them in front of God.
01:30:21That would be in line with God's will.
01:30:22Mm.
01:30:25I often hear brothers and sisters
01:30:26say that there are many who long for God's appearance,
01:30:29but they are shackled by the deception
01:30:31of pastors and elders and the CCP government.
01:30:35They're unable to come before God.
01:30:38We've also seen that there are many people
01:30:40who are rushing around, locked in a futile struggle
01:30:44for worldly wealth, fame, and status.
01:30:47They are fooled and harmed by Satan, and they're living in pain.
01:30:52God's heart is sad and anxious.
01:30:55He's waiting for them to come in front of Him as soon as possible
01:30:58and to escape from the harm of Satan.
01:31:03Just think, when things were at their worst,
01:31:06God sent brothers and sisters to preach the gospel to us.
01:31:10Only then did we accept His work of the last days,
01:31:13escape from Satan's harm, and enjoy the blessings of believing in God.
01:31:20We should do all that we can to spread the gospel and fulfill our duty
01:31:24so that those who live in darkness may hear the voice of God,
01:31:27break through Satan's barriers,
01:31:29and come before God so that they might be saved.
01:31:32This would repay God's love.
01:31:34Mm.
01:31:37Mom, I've wanted to spread the gospel and fulfill my duty for some time now.
01:31:44I'm just worried I don't understand the truth well enough
01:31:47and won't be able to explain it effectively.
01:31:51But when I hear brothers and sisters
01:31:52share their experience of being led by the Holy Spirit when spreading the gospel,
01:31:56I'm so moved.
01:31:58Thank God!
01:31:59I see that in our belief, God only blesses us when we perform our duty.
01:32:03Though we do not grasp much truth,
01:32:05we can still practice spreading the gospel with brothers and sisters.
01:32:08Then it will be easier to grasp truth and progress more quickly.
01:32:11Mm.
01:32:12Oh, Wenjing, tomorrow let's spread the gospel
01:32:14and bear witness with Auntie Cheng to family and friends.
01:32:17Yeah, great!
01:32:18Mom, what do you think?
01:32:19That's great!
01:32:20My sister's so good. You should start with her.
01:32:22You should share the gospel with her tomorrow.
01:32:24Mm. We'll do that tomorrow.
01:32:26Perfect!
01:33:03Wenjing, do you think you may have seen that red suitcase of mine?
01:33:34Um, look at the very top of the closet.
01:33:36Oh, thanks!
01:34:03With my tiny paper and brush, I paint a little house.
01:34:16Mama's inside the house, Daddy is inside too.
01:34:23My sister and I are playing in the sunlight.
01:34:31We all feel warm as the sun shines all on us.
01:34:39Mama is smiling, Daddy smiles too.
01:34:46Sisters are grinning, we are all beaming.
01:34:54This is my family here, painted on my paper.
01:35:02A picture in my dreams, it is all in my dreams.
01:35:24Picking up my tiny suitcase, I go to a strange place.
01:35:34Daddy is inside, but Mama is outside.
01:35:42Picking up my tiny suitcase, I go to a home I once knew.
01:35:48Mama is inside, Daddy's outside.
01:35:57Holding tightly to my suitcase, I wander the roads.
01:36:05Feeling alone, not sure where to go.
01:36:11My tiny suitcase here is my only company.
01:36:19This is my only home, the home I can't escape.
01:36:34Where is my home? Oh, where could it be?
01:36:41In such a great world, yet there is nowhere for me.
01:36:49Who can deliver me to the home in my dreams?
01:36:56The one in my drawings, the one of my dreams.
01:37:06Where is my home? Oh, where could it be?
01:37:14In such a great big world, there is still no home for me.
01:37:23Who can give me a cozy home, the home in my drawings?
01:37:31The home in my dreams, home in my dreams.
01:37:53Here I have a home, I have a home.
01:38:09But it's not the one I drew on my paper.
01:38:17It's not my little suitcase, it's the place that I dream of.
01:38:23Mom and Dad are inside, my sister and I are too.
01:38:31It is the home where our souls can finally rest.
01:38:37The home full of glory, full of glory and hope.
01:38:45It is the home where our souls can finally rest.
01:38:51The home full of glory, full of glory and hope.
01:39:15La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
01:39:45It is a home full of glory, home full of glory, glory and home.
