    This is so true! I often feel the pressure of not falling into stereotypes and keeping up with the things of this world. I think what is so good about God is that he loves YOU, meaning you don't have to adjust to others peoples way of living. I love how realistic these talks are and the settings.

    This honestly just soothed my anxiety I have been having around my own art, I put out my photography website and have had such anxiety around it being good enough/everyone following me liking it. But this is a reminder my art is an overflow of the love God gives me and He already approves me. This quiet whisper has been getting louder everyday for me so this video has blessed me, thank you for the reminder! God bless you 🙏

I’m a Christian photographer and I had that same mindset about „let’s show ppl that Christians can be super creative and cool as well“ and over time that put some pressure on me. Like at some point I was even focusing more on my craft than on my relationship with God. So yea great reminder 🦋

    Bruh. The less you try to prove yourself to others, the greater your work and your works will be. You're just about the coolest Christian I've ever seen and that's mostly because you're real. You being you makes your music and praise and glorification of Christ so much more and so awesome. You're my favorite artist right now ngl like in general. You gave music back to me man. I couldn't handle the secular stuff anymore. It just started upsetting the Holy Spirit. So I look up Christian Lofi lol and then I hear a compilation with Lost in it and bam. I wanted more of you. YOU. Because you glorify the Lord in such a special way. I can't get enough.
    Not to say that I don't struggle with the same thing from time to time of course. I don't wanna be hypocritical here. I'm just saying that you being you is part of what makes all you've made so special. Cuz God made YOU. And I thank Him for you.

    Thank you for saying this. This really applies to my situation wanting to just use the gifts that God have us to spread his love and the gospel message. Even working ins secular music and artists there’s ways to spread love and the gospel. He desires all people to be saved and come to knowledge of the truth. It’s not about making yourself the best or putting yourself above all others but allowing him to show our weaknesses and work through us anyway because he loves us. Thank you Jesus!

    I get this way to a lot. Just my prayers are never answered. I like with a physical and mentally abusive parent who uses religion as a shield for abuse. Makes hard to believe and makes me feel alone. I have stopped praying at night before bed, started going to church less, and just think these thoughts if he so real and she claims to be so in love with the lord, why the hell does she act this way. Where is her benevolence or compassion. She just drew blood on me the other day and is acting like I’m the problem and that I deserve to get scars. I’m happy he speaks to you and you haven’t lose faith.

    • @divinec5712

      Please hang in there! God will reveal Himself to you. Continue to pursue Him and ask Him to allow you to experience the fullness of Him.. King David cried out to God even when he could not feel Him(like we all do) but because He knew there was a God he continued to pursue God! I am so sorry you are going through that abuse. I went through that as a child..I will tell you that the trials that I had as a young child has made me a stronger person today.. You overcoming this (in Christ) will be a testimony to someone else who may be in your same predicament. Hold on,
      with Jesus it's so much better! Psalm 27

    • @lexthelovely3805
      @lexthelovely3805 4 года назад +5

      Wow thank you for your vulnerability! I am not here to serve you platitudes, but I do resonate with what you're saying. I too grew up with a mother who did the same and honestly for a long long time I questioned if God cared and if He did, why He didn't "do" anything. I'm still unpacking the reality of His nearness in those moments but what I will say is this: every prayer, every thought, every ache of your heart Jesus hears and He stores. Only recently in the past few weeks actually did I really grasp the trauma and abuse and violence of the cross and that Jesus not only died for my sins but He bore the pain of trauma for ME. Because He actually saw my face and my tears and all the nights I went to food or pornography to cope with my life. And He bore it for YOU too. I know it's hard to keep our minds untangled from those grips of manipulation and abuse, and I am so sorry your mother has weaponized something that is meant to bring freedom.
      I can only recommend a few things that have been of help to me:
      1) I had to recognize my trust issues with Jesus because of the abuse. I straight up told God "I really don't trust You fully, and that has to be okay right now, and I need Your help because I want to trust You and know You." (and it WAS okay because then He was able to help me!)
      2) I had to acknowledge (as it seems you have already, which is awesome) that the abuse and shield of religion is not Jesus. With that I had to accept the reality that my mother has probably never really truly known Jesus, she has known religion and her own abusive childhood trauma, but the revelation of Jesus did not become clear to her (this is why healing is so important).
      3) I had to understand that I needed to spiritually and emotionally break ties with her because they were keeping me from knowing God and believing more fully. So I prayed "Jesus, by the power of Your name, I pray and declare that every emotional, mental and spiritual tie and connection I have to ___*fill in the blank of the person*___ be broken. I declare that I am washed and made new by the blood of Jesus and that these chains will no longer hold me back. Thank You for Your power that breaks chains, and help me to heal as I step into this new freedom with You. Help me to see clearly and discern who is of Your spirit and who is not. And help me to forgive and release whatever I need to in order to have a deeper relationship with You. Amen, it is so". (That's what I prayed but feel free to tweak as necessary).
      I would say that now, I am able to pick up on and even see the tactics before they come. I don't share more info with my mother than I need to (since college I've been able to maintain no contact, but if you aren't in a position to do that, definitely keep distance emotionally). I also spent time reading up on abusive/emotionally immature parents and it helped me assess a lot better (Lindsay C. Gibson was what I read and it was very very helpful).
      If you made it this far, know that I am very proud of you and more than that Jesus is very proud of you. It is okay to be where you are, in fact it is a sign of a healthy response to abuse. You are able to recognize that what she is doing IS abuse and that her religion is not an accurate representation of Jesus. Please, don't stop believing, even if you are close to the "wall of unbelief" as I call it. I was there for the whole summer last year, numbed and in a haze and I dumped all my questions, accusations, fears and hurt to Jesus. And He sat there with love and listened. Jesus is not waiting for you to come to Him so He can shame or rebuke you, he says "I do not rebuke You."
      "I do not rebuke You" says the Lord.
      Jesus loves you and if you let Him, He will transform everything you are experiencing into a testimony to keep others from walking away and to restore your soul.
      You are resilient, You are brave and You aren't alone. A lot of well-meaning Christians would tell me "Oh just forgive, it's only the pain behind their behavior, just pray for them". Which were all "true". But it only made me feel less seen and more guilty for abuse that wasn't my fault. But God has revealed to be also the true nature of my mother's heart and encouraged me to cut all ties, even years after I have forgiven and release my hurt to Him. I am able to pray for her now and truly ask God to have mercy on her soul, but I still don't talk to her and I probably never will.
      Her abuse towards you isn't your fault and it never has been. I see you. Jesus sees You. This isn't the end for you and your story does not stop here.
      Your faith is beautiful. I'm praying for you!
      I hope this was of some help and comfort to you. Try get some rest and take care of yourself, I know being on lockdown isn't helping the situation. And know that right now in this moment, you are enough and that Jesus Himself delights in YOU!

      L E X the L O V E L Y I want you to know I read everything you wrote. It game me some comfort and I will probably look back to this comment time and time again. I’m sorry what you had to go through and I hope you’re doing much better. There is just something about this last fight I had with her and how she drew blood that I just can’t forgive her for. I’m the forgiving type, but for once in my heart it’s saying you deserve more. I moved out for six months my senior year of high school and my life was blessed without her. I was able to do a school play, work, enjoy my senior year, and come home to my Grandma’s without wondering if I was gonna be screamed at or abused.
      I went back to her, not for money because I would rather be poor than live with her, but so she wouldn’t be alone because she has torn everyone away from her in the family. I don’t her to be alone and if I would have never went back, she would have never had anyone again because she’s a miserable soul.
      It breaks my heart, but in that six month break I felt closer to Jesus more than I ever did in my life. Moving back with her has destroyed that, but I will grow back eventually and I do always forget that he understands my pain long before I could ever. He is merciful.
      I feel bad for coming to this comment section about that, but this video just resonated with me and for whatever reason I had to click on it. Thank you for showing me I’m worth a damn. Same goes for the person who commented before you as well.
