I've been trying to be the good Christian but I've been trying to reach perfection on my own. God is saying "daughter, you're trying to do this on your own. That's impossible. Invite me into your day. Abide in me." It's so encouraging that we can have a relationship with Jesus and reach perfection in Him.
couldnt keep my tears in when tori said, "you are somebody's answered prayer and you dont even know it yet." it's reassuring to hear. i really hope so. i pray for my future husband every night
God is so good!! This was exactly what I needed to hear right now. Every word was like a bomb exploding lies in my mind. They are still there and the anxiety isn’t just gone but I can see the way out. Thank you for always pointing me back to Jesus. Just Jesus.
This video reminds me a lot. In my situation, I will easily compare myself to my friends to see whether I am doing well. However, you remind me to focus on my unique identity in God. My life should not be qualified by comparison. I should focus more on God's time schedule and be patient with God's planning.
Thank you for not putting a time limit on the video. This video is a full bag of a lot of valuable gifts. It's fully packed for handling this issue. We thank God for using you guys to tell us somethings. A lot of things. Thank you.
I have been fighting comparison so much!! This video is such a blessing for me and I know that it is for so many other people!. God bless you three guys!💌
"If we can fix our eyes Jesus, if we can fix our eyes on our own unique calling, our own unique identity in Christ, it takes away some of that comparison." WOW, this is awesome💓
Been wrestling with these topics for a couple weeks and got so excited when I saw your video! Was literally thinking of Steffany Gretzinger when she was talking about comparison at the alter and how that pushes us deeper in with the Lord right before you started talking about it!! Seriously so good!!
Watching you from Colombia. Such a blessing for me! As a teenager, you inspire me a lot, your example your story, you are so beautiful sharing your experiences encouraging us to keep this way following Jesus that is not easy in this world❤. May God bless you, your family abundantly!🤗
LOVED this!! Also been loving the current devotional over on Mornings with the Masters. It's really helped me to see my worth and also to help me see where my focus is and shift it from negative to positive. Thank you both 🤍 🙏🏼
This video came at a perfect time for me in my journey. I feel like I’ve heard you guys say similar things before but I definitely needed to be reminded! Like God was saying, Aubrey, you need to hear this! Thank you for sharing what God is putting on your heart. So often, He’s putting it on all of ours❤
Guys, as I’m watching this important topic I think : we should also remember that sometimes comparison is healthy must have thing. For example, we can’t ignore truths and wisdom of mentors etc, cause if we choose too different path ( cause we unique ) we might do enemy plan. I did that mistake - not learning from advice or mistake of others . So balance is key 🙌🏻 Love u and your videos 🤗🤍
Growing up, I always had a gut feeling (and even some physical signs) that my sister was jealous of me. Over the years of ups and downs, I’ve recently made the decision to distance myself for my mental health. But yet she’s still on my heart. I don’t want her to suffer, and watching her make bad decisions in her life broke my heart. When I search deep within myself, I realize I don’t wish her any ill will. Even if I could get any satisfaction from watching her failures, I then feel extremely guilty because she doesn’t deserve to suffer. Knowing her past struggles, I know she wasn’t dealt the fairest hand in life. But I do find myself comparing between us, looking over my shoulder to make sure I don’t become like her because she’s my sister and I love her, but it is my biggest fear to become her. We’re in a season where my siblings and I are getting in relationships and getting married and I’ve found myself worrying that anything I do will be compared by her. I’ve come to realize I’ve been carrying the responsibility and burden of her perceived jealousy. It’s been such a weird walk of practicing gratitude while there seems to be a permanent fixture in my life that takes up space in head and heart. I can’t tell if God is encouraging me to be close to her even though I don’t want that, I don’t know if it’s because I’ve become the jealous one even though I can’t pinpoint where that would be. I can’t tell if maybe I’m just overthinking and guilting myself…I’ve prayed about it, but the progress has been slow 😅
I have a problem because I could not love everything about my boyfriend. I also was seeing God's creation in him and especially in the good times I felt God's love so deeply. But, my boyfriend loves scary things and sinful things like guns, shooting games, kinky pornography, many Tattoos all over his body... So on the one side he was great and respectful to me, he made me feel loved and close to God. On the other hand he scared me and I criticised his hobbies... So he was telling me I wouldn't love him and he left me... I feel broken... Because I still love him and how he made me feel for 2 years! But he had also a side that scared me and stressed me... I don't know if I did him right, if the decision for separation was right... I just feel I failed in making him feel loved and accepted even though I really wanted the best! for him and I wanted him to feel loved, like I'm his support system But he felt I'm not his support system... I made him feel less.... I'm devastated! I am hurt, I miss him so much, I love him... How should I go on about this? Was he too much of a sinner for me?
Its normal, God says not to provoke jealousy so others are provoking us, so i think God also sees this. Its not okay for people to post so much that is out there. We need to stop giving so many people so much attention, we become enablers of such gross behaviors.
I’m so sorry Christian guys have been rejecting you. Sometimes I too feel like Christian dating only caters to the “pure” and other times I feel like it’s really just luck and a numbers game. But your children are NOT baggage. You deserve someone who is amazing and loves your children as his own. I know it feels good for now but please don’t allow yourself to be used. You are a precious gift that deserves to be cherished. Not used and thrown away. You are a beautiful lady, someone will see it in time. I pray the perfect man for you and your kids finds you all very soon and that the signs will be clear as day, and most importantly that your heart will be full and self-esteem will be high enough to recognize this wonderful person! ❤️🩹
I don't really know you, but perhaps you might want to consider how is it that you truly see yourself like from within... no offense intended, but maybe what makes it difficult for you to find that person could perhaps be the way that you see your own self and situation, thus leading you to carry yourself in a way that accidentally repels the very men you'd like to attract.. and hey.. that would be completely understandable, because if I put myself in your shoes, us as women, having to take rejection after rejection, must be really really hard.. I think men might be more used to rejection than women.. so it could be very easy for our self-perception to become skewed very quickly after a few perceived or direct rejections... but consider that sometimes, is not personal, sometimes God still needs to prepare you in a particular way before you find that person and it may have nothing to do with your children... perhaps God is not done doing some work in your heart to help you become the perfect fit for someone else.. just picture who would be the perfect man for you, and ask yourself if you yourself are on his league or if you'd be ready to be the perfect partner for him as well, and not just think about you could get from him, but what do you have to offer.. perhaps that could change your way to go about this. Hope this helps. God bless.

Y’all touched me with this msg. It’s actually what I constantly have to remind myself. It’s God’s timing not mine. Ugh, y’all thank you for this

That sounds tough Janaiah! Praying God gives you wisdom and insight into your own heart and how to handle this in the right way
