- Hi beautiful people :)
Verses mentioned or inspired me to make this video:
-Psalm 27
-Matthew 6:33
I make all of my videos for Jesus. I don't know where I would be without Him.

While he was still far away, his Father saw him and was filled with compassion. He ran to his son, threw his arms around him...[and said,] "let’s eat and celebrate! Because my son...was lost and has been FOUND." Luke 15:20,23 ISV
You are so loved. Be so blessed in Jesus,
-Becca
Hey fam - you are loved. Not just today, but every day. Even before you were born. Remember that. x
Hi FarAwayDistance, I have a couple of questions if u don’t mind answering. 🤓
Message me on instagram!:)
Ephesians 1:4-5 NASB
just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him. In love [5] He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will,
FarAwayDistance can u plz pray for my throat I have no clou what’s going on and I am scared 😱 plz
Prayed 😀
You are telling the truth. Nowadays, a lot of people makes marriage their idol. Life isn’t about being married. As a Christian, your life is about being in a relationship with the Lord and make disciples.
Before getting married there’s a whole process to be done. Everyone wants a perfect husband but they are not the perfect wife yet. Let the Lord mold you, break you and work in you before meeting your husband. He’ll find you when the Lord will see you are ready for it.
if you are talking about nuns and monks "Life isn’t about being married. As a Christian, your life is about being in a relationship with the Lord and make disciples" exactly on point but i'm pretty sure that if you are not one you are doing the christian think wrong me personally i'm a atheist(disclaimer) and if i had to describe christianity first thing that comes to mind is belief in god and marriage maybe i missed a thing but yeah you get the point its a big part of it
That would explain your atheism, Jesus forbids marriage Mathew 19 10-11 not many can receive this truth !! @@YouNoob573
Most of us want to get married. The question is, if you never get married at all, will God still be enough for you? Agree with what you were saying, marriage won't make your life perfect! I'm 34 and I have to remind myself that serving God is the priority! Remember that people!
Very good. Matthew 6: 33 KJV
Well said, but I’m glad I’m not married
I think society’s obsession with relationships comes from the deeper desire for a relationship with God-the fact that marriage was made to resemble Christ and His Church makes it the closest thing the world has to fulfilling that deep desire (but it can’t fully satisfy). Thank you so much for posting this!! I really appreciate all you do:)
Also-definitely check out “One Thing” by Rich Mullins. I’ve never heard of the Hillsong one, but I love this song!
Kewl theory XD
WOW I never thought about it this way..... interesting theory, really has you thinking. :)
Hope OMGGGWGGEISAOOA THATS VERY TRUE
You hit the nail on the head
Jesus, be my one thing that I live for. Everything else be an extra sweet gift because I am blessed and highly favored in your eyes. Amen. This year, my word is surrender. It's difficult. I'm not the best at it. But it's a good reminder that I'm surrendering it all to have a better relationship with my Lord and Savior. My Comforter and Healer.
Yes Jess yesss!!
Amen. I think that our society (both Christians and non-Christians alike) put way too much focus on their desires for relationships and marriage rather than on Christ.
Rather, when we seek Jesus, he can fulfill us more than any relationship could.
I have this thought, but I think God may actually call some to forego marriage in order to get to know Jesus more and dedicate more time to serving him and others more.
I think our culture is so wrapped up in their relationships (whether they're single and waiting, dating, or married) that eventually the focus shifts more towards themselves and how they can have their needs and desires met.
I personally kinda want to get to a point where I know God more and know him so much that I don't care if I end up skipping marriage in THIS life as I'll have a little first hand sneak peek of the marriage with Him in the next life.
Anyways, great video! Keep doing what you're doing for the Lord! 👍
Thank you so much Josh!
I totally agree that our society focuses on marriage and relationships. There is definitely an opportunity for single people to pursue God in a way that married people can't because marriage requires a certain amount of time and commitment.
I do want to point out that there is an aspect to marriage that absolutely, unequivocally can make you a better Christ follower and bring you closer to God. Now there are a lot of variables, like choosing someone who does bring you closer to God and choosing to let your marriage make you a better Christian. I can say after 8 years of marriage, that choosing to get married is NOT taking the easy road out. So I think that everything you said is totally right and ultimately it's everyone's choice whether they do choose marriage or not, but I can telly you that my marriage has a huge role in how strong my faith is and where I am with God.
It's not that either staying single or marriage is good or bad. They are both fine options, if they are done in a God honoring way.
yes, and that thought that God may call some to forego marriage is so relevant, as that is Him calling some to the vocation of single life!
Well those without Christ are lost so they are at even more risk of getting in bad relationships.
try stating this to the kids born out of wedlock who cry themselves to sleep living with pain self esteem problems and absent fathers or mothers. I lived it and Yah personally gave me the revelation that it is his will read Ephesian 5 the whole chapter
This was a special video, Becca! I think you articulated it very well. Let’s not rush the Lord’s preparation, marriage is a huge thing, full of blessings and challenges. Let’s embrace our singleness until the time is right 😊👊
you don’t know how big of an inspiration & role model you are to me! God bless ya sista
Stop you are SO sweet!! Thank you!!
Not to mention that NOT everyone is called to marriage. People seem to think marriage is an essential part of growing up or the "next step" and that's not always the case. Once we toss out this misconception we'll have stronger marriages, leading to stronger families and communities.
Marriage is another way to honor God, but a lot of people focus this attention on their future spouse instead and that can be idolatry in and of itself. Marriage also requires a lot of sacrifice, as a wife and mother. At the end of the day, if you can't feel your faith being strengthened by relationships or the responsibilities don't sit well with you, then you're probably not called. Don't wait for a husband to start chasing God, because it was never about him. It's about Him.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SAYING THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am currently 17 and I have no interest in having a boyfriend; I never even had an interest in falling in love with a boy to begin with. I do feel love mostly from family, friends and God. I see so many of my peers talk about crushes, it makes me think that everyone is having a crush and I feel like the "weirdo" that doesn't even feel the slightest interest in boyfriends or having a husband; now that may change in the future as adulthood creeps in. Fortunately my family doesn't tell me that it is an obligation to want a boyfriend and that if I don't want a boyfriend then that was okay by them, because I don't think I can have this amount of responsibility or self-sacrifice to even have a person dedicating my life to (except God). Props to any wife/husband that have this proper amount of self-sacrifice and/or dedication to one another, especially Christians.
P.S. My responsibilities will be revolving around spreading the Word of God, family, friendships, improving my art skills, and having a family of pets.
@@cutepuddleslime8201 you sound like you know yourself and how to honor God very well! Continue to keep an idea open mind! Praying for you!
LOVE LOVE FREAKING LOVE THIS! I’ve grown up in the bible bet so literally everything any girl will ever want is marriage. Like there is so much more to the life God has for us than being wives and mothers and I feel like we are in such a rush to get out of a beautiful season with just us and God.🤷🏼♀️
Aww girl I feel that. You are TOTALLY totally fine okay? Never feel like you have to rush!!! You are fine. God's got you and He is enough. :)
Great video! I’m 25 and until now felt super rushed to be married already. For awhile I’ve been disappointed and the older I got the more I’d be disappointed. I’ve only recently come to a turning point, I’m in a incredible relationship and I’m content with enjoying day to day with this man. I pray for marriage still but I’m not devastated anymore if it doesn’t happen tomorrow because I know it’s all in God’s plan. Today he placed my loving boyfriend in my life again and I’m happy with just that. To be grateful and live in the now and that’s good enough. ❤️
Ive been married for 5 years now so I can honestly say this. Marraige is amazing but if you put it over God you will be disappointed. A husband or wife is human and they sin, the aren't perfect. Marraige is not perfect so you cannot put your hope in it only.
I have to say, I wasnt even going to watch this video because I thougth it didnt apply to me since I am already married. But man was I wrong. We are currently house hunting and it has become my obsession for a while. Thanks for opening my eyes and directing my attention back to Jesus. He deserves more of my time than what I have been giving him. Great video!!
Aww that's so awesome! Thank you so much for telling me that! x
Thanks for this video. I feel the same way. People live to get married. People live to have children. Yes, i want this eventually but its not my purpose in life. Like you said Jesus is number 1. You're so wise.
Kayla All glory to God for that wisdom haha not me!:) You're so sweet though! Thank youu for watching!
FarAwayDistance I love that you take the time to respond to your viewers even when you don't have to. I really love your channel. You surely value the people who watch your videos and we value you. God bless you😊 It's so nice to hear young Christians like me, in this world that sometimes feels like chaos.
Aww no the comments are literally always SO encouraging - it is my pleasure to respond to them :)
Thanks for bringing up this topic. I have personally been struggling with this type of idolatry, but God is helping me overcome it. And God knew that this video would be just the thing I (and many other people) needed to see today. Thank you for making this video. God is using you for his glory, which is beautiful to see!
Thank you so so much, you are so sweet!!
Amen :) it all begins with God and God has His time for the perfect moment. First everyone needs to commit to God first and then everything else comes by His will
Romance in this day and age, is like rolling dice. Finding it and making it sustainable stresses me out. But, we have to ask ourselves like you said: why are we ultimately here? For our own pleasure? What did God put us here to do? We all have a debt to pay and...we count our blessings at the end. We may or may not find marriage. I’m a 23 year old male and this video helped me. You reminded me. Peace and blessings to you.
I don't know who you are or how this video came to show up as a RUclips suggestion for me, but WOW. That was so absolutely beautiful and well said. It was so profound and I'm definitely going to watch more of your videos. Thank you for a great reminder that I believe many people, especially Christian young people, need to hear. Blessings!
Thank you so much!!! :) So happy to have you here!!
thank you for this! Just left a long relationship with a nonbeliever to follow God, and stop running from Him. I want to give Him everything, and my flesh really holds me back. Working on letting God kill my flesh, and these videos give me so much encouragement
Perfect for V-day!! Loved this video and the message because its so true ❤
I got saved and started going to church in 2010 and all everyone talked about was finding a spouse and getting married. Like being single was something to get rid of. Glad to hear there are fellow believers who dont make marriage the end-all-be all. Blessings sister!
I was hoping there'd be a video from you today and it happened to be just the thing I needed to hear. Thank you so much and praise be to God
Aww no way!!! That's so awesome!:)
I love this so much
Love YOU!
Thank you so much for being like an older sister for me!!!
Such a great job Becca. I'm 48 years old and absolutely happily married, but only because of my relationship to the Lord. There would be no relationship at all with my amazing wife if not for our walk with God. We have to be so careful when we think that we'll find happiness in anything but Him. 😊
yes so true ;) Life is not about being married and "that's it", but more about having a real relationship with God :)
Could you please pray for me? I am really struggling with this and I’ve been trying to just give it to God and not worry about if I’ll find someone or not but it’s very difficult.
I love God's beauty 😇 i cannot stop smiling and crying. There is so much filling up in my heart.
so today is my pastor's one year of passing away and his favorite verse was matthew 6:33. seeing the bible verse pop up made me gasp and tear up❤️
Aww wow I'm so so sorry to hear that
FarAwayDistance aagh yes he is!!
Really timely video for me. Thanks for posting.
Praise God!!
THANK YOU!! I found your comment in the Hillsong "love on the line" and I clicked your channel cause i love it and saw a new video! And clicked it and its about marriage men I said "Exactly what I needed" praise God :)
Aww awesome :) Happy to have you here.
Hey! I remember A long time ago I went down the wrong road. And I watched one of your videos and It COMPLETELY changed my view on Jesus. So I looked you up again and found you! Thanks for all Tue powerful testimonys you put out
Wow that is so amazing. All glory to God!!! Thank you so much for sharing that!!
I TOTALLY AGREEEEEEEE, omg someone hand her a mic! Glory & praise to God for touching you to make this video because I know this isn’t broken down and explained as much as it should be. God bless you abundantly hun
:) thank you so muchh!
Loved this video! I absolutely love how genuine you are. Thank you for sharing wisdom! I’m so thankful to have found your channel. I need all the encouragement I can get from my sisters in Christ! ❤️
Thank you so so much!
Well this was really timely and relevant today!! Thank you!! :-)
Evie Herriot Haha I didn't even mean to do that but that's just how God works!!!!
I love this I use to have this heart like I want my wife like show me this jesus but then I realised that it is all in his hands as I grow closer to him it will come in his time when god knows the time is right he will give it to us! God will fill us and chasing god should be the purpose of our life
Thanks for being sooo passionate about Jesus!! It is so encouraging!
:)
may I share my story?
so, these two days I was thinking too much about marriage and potrayed my future husband. There's happiness when I did that, bu then something like popped up in my deep heart says like 'Is that right? Is that something you want or God wants?'
and then, this morning RUclips recommends this video and I've watched this. So,
I can say that, my focus was a lil' bit (maybe a lot) shifted before.. because I just imagine and trying to show how I have 'a very beautiful dream' without realising that He's already has purposes in me. After I watched this, I realized that it's not about me, but Jesus first.
Thankyou ms. Becca for your sharing that encourages me. God bless you always 💗
So much truth!!!
Thank youuu!!! All glory to God!
that´s true!! we should long for a Provider far more than for provision.
I just read the title and I already say thank you! We have to know what are our motivations!
Jenny nd :)
Crazy accurate for what I'm going through!! Thank you so much Becca. God knows I need big sisterly advice. Love and bless you! ❤
Micky7 Aww well praise God! Love ya!
I agree I used to be
like that today was the first Valentine’s Day that I’m like I’m complete in God alone and being single is a blessing I need to use this time to focus on God and Growing in a relationship with God because at the end of the day his the most important in my life and I finally come to the realization that God knows what’s best and i still have a desire to be married but if It’s not Gods plan I will be okay and happy because God is in my life
Wow so glad i came across this video because I struggled with this wanting that significant someone in my life as a sense of fulfilment that end goal i guess but now Im learning just to stay focused on God and that someone will come along on His timing , so thank you in a way this video helped me get back on track with God :)
I'm so glad you chose doing youtube videos - the internet needs more truth like this..Love it how the content of your videos is based on the truth of the bible and not only some advice taken from somewhere..Keep on doing what you do. Psalm 115,1 Not to us, Lord, not to us but to your name be the glory, because of your love and faithfulness.
Thank you SO much!!! That verse is one of the 6 verses my channel is centered around actually!!! :)
Amen. Amen. Amen. I really needed to hear this. Thank you and Praise God.
Such an important message and communicated so well ! RUclips is blessed to have you Becca !! Loved this video xx
Thank youu so so much Sabrina! You're always so encouraging and sweet!
You talk so fast and I like it
Haha thank you!
Psalm 27:4! My favorite verse❤ just found you on RUclips girl, I've been praying for Him to raise up workers for the harvest! Praying for you!! It's encouraging seeing how God's waking up so many people! He's coming soon!! Love you sister!!
Thank you for sharing. I agree. We should not let our marriage be our source of happiness and love. God is the ultimate source of love and happiness
So true! Great video, Becca!
LOVE "One thing" such a great song
so wise Becca! this really helped me thank you!
So glad to hear that!!! :) All credit to God haha
Hey can you talk about how amazing god is? When Im sad I listen to hillsong and god turns my sadness into happiness suddenly i cry happiness tears, Jesus is so amazing!
Thank you Becca!!
That's why I'm glad to be a Mennonite Christian. The Mennonite Church's statement of faith actually has a section uplifting and encouraging single Christians.
Wow! You hit the nail on the head, that's why I am not married because I have not found a girl that feels like that because my relationship with God comes first and hers must also
All I did was see the title and, thank you.
One of the worst things a person can do is to be in a hurry to find a mate. When it's right we don't have to seek hard for it. It will happen.
Becca you are so adorable! Greeting from Brazil!!
So happy to have you here!! :)
This is so good and so needed. You are sweetheart.
Thank you Becca
Becca, you are truly an amazing person. God blessed me that I found you on RUclips!
Beautifully said. I had to find out who I was and to fall in love with me before I could commit to marriage.
I think that is why so many people end up getting divorced. They look for someone to complete them and when that person "comes up.short" then they give up on the marriage
Those young girls have actually no concept (and understandably so) of what marriage truly is. Marriage isn't a fairytale: it is difficult and challenging and not a bed of roses where nothing bad happens. That fanciful idealistic view is very wrong, especially for a Christian.
Marriage has the opportunity to be so beautifully fulfilling and wonderful, but it doesn't come by chance. It comes through so much effort and perserverance and daily choice to serve God and your husband. Choosing to love them when they are unlovable.
Recently, I've come to the conclusion that I kind of don't want to get married or at least I'm not in a rush to get married. I kind of want to enjoy being single while I can, and go out and serve people. I'm just afraid I will be lonely or fall into any guy's hands at the first sign of love.
I am totally binge watching your videos, but I have to say, I love this one probably the most! I grew up Christian and unfortunately turned away from God for awhile and searched for that fulfillment in other things. As much as I know my parents love me and wanted me to know Jesus did, too, I kind of feel like I grew up just knowing about Jesus instead of truly knowing who he was, as well as my identity in God. One night (as a new re-born, dedicated Christian) I was praying asking God why I hadn’t found my guy. I mean, here I am at church one of the only single friends left and I felt so alone and confused. One night I was praying that same prayer for probably the millionth time and God convicted me and said, “Am I not enough for you?” Girl when I tell you I almost screamed, I really thought that was it. 🤣 he has taught me so much about unconditional love since then and I have learned to be okay by myself because I know I’m not alone! He is always going to be enough 😍 Thank you for being you!
((HUUUGS)) You are already changing lives, Sister! He is doing so much more than you know through you! I don't know you in person, but I can't wait to meet you, even if it's not until heaven!! Keep seeking Him! YOU ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE! He delights in you, and is speaking awesome truth through you! (Sorry for spamming you, a little, but I wanted to write that.)
Get it girl
aww hi
Raffa Provider what verse??? :O??? :o?
Raffa Provider k cool thanks!
Raffa Provider w8 what math equation did u use to get Obama=666?
Stumbled on this page. Must say, thank you Lord! Sort of thought the kids of today know nothing about Christ love or anything good. You for putting this video out and for all the other young kids commenting I thank you! I mean no disrespect but so many kids of today have lost their souls and this was a very refreshing splash on the face that God has kept a remnant of youth from today! Your message spot on, young miss. Christ must be first, before a marriage! When my wife was alive, she was a believer and I put her through hell on earth. Was a biker, wicked in every sense of the word. New not what love was. Cheated often on her. I kept telling her she should leave for I will always be like this and she would start reading the verse, about what love is. At the time I would just roll my eyes cause I did not understand. Lord did take her, I refused to accept him. Now I understand fully. Lord has opened my eyes and heart. Wish I had the chance to love her in the manner that Christ had planned. Many regrets. Most who knew me, pastors included thought I could never be saved unless Christ removed her from me. Christ does discipline those he loves. I know I am loved. I wish I would have followed the road of Christ as King David did, from my youth. My testimony and here is a bit of wisdom. Abide in Christ and him in you! Had a pastor tell me long ago, just read the Bible and it will change you. I gave him 2 months and if no change I would be gone. Everyday reading and other stuff. Stopped putting in garbage and ate only the good. Everyone noticed something different with in a month! 2 verses that say"good will come to those who read his words. No it is not the one that promises blessing for reading Revelation:) Christ is the word, the Bible is the Living Word Of Christ! Will bring life to dead things like me. Keep up the good work! May the Lord watch over all you youth!
May you continue to spread God's Love and love for God gurl
❤️♥️😊 Thank you for your encouragement in my faith. This video just lifted me a little bit higher and further into my love for the LORD
God bless you Becca, you have a Gentle and calming way of talking, it is just relaxing to listen to you 😊
That's so sweet of you!! Thank you!!
Love is patient.
This is amazing!! Thank you for being such an inspiration to me
Hi becca♡ I can't even explain to you how happy I am that you've talked about this .... It was exactly what I needed to hear again♡....
It was literally the Lord speaking to me through you!! Thank you xx
Very good video! I totally agree with what you're saying.. Not too long ago I was so obsessed with wanting a man in my life I thought"Then everything will be perfect" but I realized that until I put God first and our relationship first and until works on me I'm not ready for that man God will bring to me! Gods got a perfect plan for everyone of us it just sometimes doesn't fit into our timeline!
Absolutely agree
You just gotta be patient, all good things come to those who wait
Thank you, Becca! Perfect timing. ☺️🙌🏻
Wonderful video 💕
Amen! Thank you so much. I need to order my priorities in light of Christ. This video helped me a lot! Thanks!
Sometimes I'll stumble upon a twitter of people I know in real life and all too often I see these same kind of tweets that you were talking about and it saddens me! Usually it's from mid-to-late teenage girls, as guys don't open up like that online generally. As a guy, I don't really understand the longing to be in the "ideal relationship" ASAP, so I always am confused as to why a girl would want to place their whole identity in a relationship with some guy. Of course marriage and relationships are great things, but finding one's identity in the Lord is so much more important! Two halves don't make a whole in a relathionship, two whole people (made complete in Christ) made a solid relationship.
I love the message of this video thank you so much for this. Im a young christian girl and this was very eye opening for me
Yes.
Yes.
Yes!
Tell it.

Just came across your channel and I’m so happy that I did! You are exactly what I needed to hear at this point in my life ❤️
Great message, Becca! It's so important to put God first. Plus, life is so much more amazing when we do that, anyway. It's totally a win-win situation.

This video was so helpful! Thank you so much Becca! God bless you!
Cesia Perdomo Thank YOU so much!
Awesome video!! Love Psalm 27❤️❤️
Luke 12:16
And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
This is so important! Thanks so much for making this video 💗
Thank you sister
Amen !! I was really dealing with trying to desire God more and more and this video including many others definitely inspired me, Thankful how God uses your life and other people who have the opportunity to inspire me and many other people, God bless ❤❤
