    I'm a paraplegic and double leg amputee, I've struggled with having the desire to walk like everybody else walks, however, God has revealed to me that the only walking that truly matters is walking in my relationship with Jesus. Of course, my flesh still struggles with wanting to walk, but I am so grateful that the Lord has put on my heart that walking with Jesus is what truly, always matters more. ❤

    So, that was a God thing.
    These past couple of weeks, I have been intensely struggling with body image/confidence/putting my worth into what a boy thinks of me, etc. And tonight, I asked God, "what do you want from me?"
    And then, completely by by God's good will, I clicked on this video. And through you, He told me, "Love yourself the way that I love you. You are VERY good."
    Continue speaking truth, Becca. God Bless. ❤

  • @Chryslerdealership
    @Chryslerdealership 7 лет назад +61

    I'll be completely honest with you, Becca. Before I came to Christ, I would always try to somehow look "good" in the eyes of any guy. If they did get my attention, I would become very prideful and "fulfilled". But after I got saved, I know how useless it is to do that, but I still kinda struggle with it. I am still working on it, and thanks to the help of the Holy Spirit, I'm getting better. And what you said about Jesus being our solid rock is completely you. He loves you so much. No matter what you look like on the inside, and esspecially on the outside. When you truly realize that NOTHING in this world matters more than having Jesus and being right with God, all other things are just forgotten. Anyways, nice video. May God bless you abundantly! I can really see His love radiating through you.

      Truth and Downfall all mostly facts... however, what God says is final. Period. And not that it's any of your business, but despite being "overweight" all my blood tests and regular health checks are perfect. God made different bodies. I run and am vegetarian. I'm blessed right here, JUST as I am.

There's so much more to life than hoping for more things and striving just to make it. Instead,remember that no matter what happens you belong to Him. Stay obedient and loyal to Him,knowing that is where your worth is found.He Will continue to provide for you."

    Girls, you are more than the makeup you wear or the clothes you buy. You are the Daughter of the King. Don't compare yourself to all the celebrities or models or what society says about beauty. You are beautiful the way you are.
    "Do not let your adorning be external-the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear; but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious."
    1 Peter 3:3-4 ESV
    “So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin;"
    Matthew 6:28 NKJV

So beautiful and so true :) Also, I think it is honoring God to love ourselves : we honor the Creator when we honor, respect and love his creaton, when we recognize that it is beautiful, that we are beautiful, because everything he makes is perfect ♥

    Thank you for this video, I often struggle with comparing myself with others and it always leaves me so angry and frustrated, to the point that I developed an eating disorder.. I was obsessed with being skinny, and calories, and control.. But being reassured about God's love is so .. Refreshing, inspiring, it just calms my anxieties. You have such a refreshing personality, and thank you so much again. Your words were a blessing to me. Its thanks to God, and this supportive-ness, that I have had the strength to battle my mental battles. I'm so glad to be here today .
