Hi everyone! I'm from Brazil and in the churches here the expression, "I chose to wait" is very popular. People who are single say that, they are waiting on God, but the problem with that is, we are not waiting, we are living. Our life doesn't start when we find the right person. Our life is already happening, with Jesus and we must live His purpose for us. I believe we have an eternal identity, which is knowing Jesus, witnessing it and worshiping him for his character! Being single is a gift, a wonderful process, and we spend so much time thinking we didn't want to be that way. We must enjoy, live the dreams and adventures of Jesus for us! Thank you Taylor, your words were amazing🧡
Thank you Nic!! These words are so true.... God has a purpose for us right now!
Ahh uma brasileira por aqui também!! Faço das suas palavras as minhas 🥰
Love this thank you
Brasil sil sil sil hahaha eu faço parte do movimento escolhi esperar, e tudo oq vc disse está absolutamente correto! ser solteira não é sinônimo de solidão! já temos Jesus
This is so true Nicole, i can reccomend the sermon by Pastor Mike Todd about being in our single season.
I’m almost 77 and I love your videos. They are not just for the young. My husband passed from COVID about 3 weeks ago. We had been married 37 years. I am sort of lost without him but your videos give me some peace and for the most part, help me turn to God to know what I am to do now. Also, the first time I started watching you, was about 2-3 years ago. That was when I really started to turn to God for direction. So keep making videos, you never know who they may help, even a little old lady.
“Discontentment leads to idolatry”
- I felt that!
I enjoyed this! I'm not discontented with anything in my life. I'm very blessed and fortunate to have a Christian family and Christian friends that I can depend on. I read my Bible and pray every day so I know this helps me stay grounded and focused on the Lord and his plan for my life. I'm retired now and I'm really content and happy!
Amen Kathleen! God is good in all of these gifts he has given to you!
i really relate to you because i’m 20 and wanting to experience all the “adult” things. but after watching this, i realized something. the more i “found my aesthetic” and started pinning cute dresses and cottagecore stuff on pinterest, and dreaming of some fictional aesthetic world, the more discontent i became. the more i WANTED those things. i started wishing i could get a job NOW even tho i can’t because of family situations. for like 3 days in a row i would feel this deep twinge of discontentment in my body/stomach. i started feeling like i wasn’t doing enough (which, actually, i’m not. i do need a job! that’s one thing that i need to fix whether i feel content or not)!! but the point is, i wasn’t feeling content in God and i started wanting to chase after the worldly things. of course that doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with having an aesthetic!!! but don’t let it consume you :((( don’t let it tell you how good/bad of a person you are! don’t let it take over your relationship with Jesus! our bodies and what we wear are so tiny in importance compared to the fact that what we really need in life is Jesus! let’s not take what He did on that cross for granted 🥺❤️🩹 if i didn’t watch your video i don’t know if i would’ve realized this soon enough so thank you for letting God speak through you✨😭
Suzanne!!!! Ahhhhhh I am just so humbled and grateful for you and this comment! Wow I can relate so much to this tightrope walk on Pinterest and from letting it go to a dangerous place of discontentment. You are a complete GIFT to me! God is so good to use me despite my frailties and sin problems, and I am thankful that I can walk with you through this season!
@@coffeeandbibletime awwww!! 🤍🤍 🥺
Same, as a senior in highschool I often look around and see all of these teens leading themselves and doing all they like. They seem as if they don't have to worry about the things I worry about and it because like this jealousy mixed with discontentment. I was literarly just telling it all to God and he lead me to Psalm 37 which is such a good chapter . I am reminded that trusting in God and staying on His path for me is rewarded with the salvation of my soul. We cannot love this world nor the things in it. It will forever be lives challenge but we got this! I suggest praying genuinely about the job. Tell God exactly how You feel and He will bring peace and give you guidance.
It may sound silly to others, but I can relate to you...
I can definitely relate to this! What makes it worse is when we start condemning ourselves and we shouldn’t because that’s not what God does to us. I like what you said about not letting those things consume you and you’re so right! You get one negative thought and then it’s ruining your entire day. A very good chapter to read if you ever feel those thoughts creeping in is Romans 8. It’s so so so good!
Also really like the JK profile pic! I don’t see too many Christians who like kpop
Great message! I love Psalm 23:1- "The Lord is my Shepherd, I lack nothing" because all I need is Him, to be satisfied. I don't need the world's standard of beauty, I don't need good grades, and I don't need to be popular, to make me whole. All I need is Jesus my Good Shepherd, who provides for me.
Yes!!! We are completely and totally whole in him! What a freeing verse and important message.❤️❤️❤️
Wow! I’ve never looked at this verse like this before it’s standing out to me today! It’s so true it’s just a short line but so impactful thank you for sharing 💗
@@BryNKinks No problem, glad it was encouraging. :) I'd sort of forgotten I wrote this but your comment reminded me of this verse at such a relevant time in my life with an exam in 2 days, so thank you! God is so good!
@@wingslikeeagles9851 All Glory goes to God ! Happy to see that this scripture is edifying us both! 🙏🏾💛
I love this! As a 24-year-old Christian girl, it feels so abnormal to explain to the world why I don't just date ANY guy when I am questioned about why I have never dated or why I am not actively pursuing anyone. When I feel lonely - it's easy to let myself feel like I'm the one in the wrong.
3 months ago, I was in a pretty discontent place. The only word I heard from God was - delete instagram. It was so hard to do! But I did it, and 3 months later, I can truly tell you guys that I've never been happier! Comparing ourselves to the "best" parts of other peoples' lives is the worst thing we do for ourselves. No one posts about their struggles or problems, so we're left feeling like we're the only ones experiencing them. There's a peace in me that no one can give me. Thank you, Taylor and Ashley, for being so raw and open. We can definitely relate and change! We have a good good Father!
Hey Joanna, I just wanted to say that I find it so good that you listened to the Lord and deleted Instagram!! You know what? The same thing happened to me. I feel like the Lord was telling me for a while to delete Instagram but I didn’t want to. But finally, after a sermon really convicted me and after friends encouraged me, I deleted Instagram. It was so hard for me as well but I am SO glad I did it!! And I don’t really miss it!
God bless you!!:)
And as another 24 year old Christian girl, I feel this too! I’ve been there. I’m just coming out of my discontentment. Very very difficult storm. Seeing all my high school friends doing stuff that I’m not doing or never did really broke me for a while. And then going to church to see so many people in relationships and starting families. I was like “I can’t catch a break”, but I know that God has really really protected me from a lot of mess that I would’ve gotten myself into😂😂 so I can’t be mad or upset really. I just think it hit harder around my 24th birthday too. I just decided that I need to take my mind off of the world and put it on Jesus!! Because the world will really have you bent backwards and Philippians 4:8 is a good reminder on where I minds should be!
I had to get rid of my socials too because there is always this constant comparing! It feels so much better to not be tied up in jealousy
Amen
Hey I m here it also happens to me I am 25 And I 've never had a real boyfriend
@@mercedesnoel4265 yes girl 💞
This touched me personally- praise God! Yes count your blessings 😌
Praise God Mattie! I will pray for you my friend.
Not joking, I was just praying over these feelings I've been noticing and couldn't find a word for them. It's discontentment. God has worked through this video I didn't plan on even watching today!! Thank you - I truly needed this heavy conviction today. Comparing myself has become a tradition almost in my heart. Not having enough, being enough etc. The words of others and of this world are so weighted and heavy. But I'm realising how unhealthy and wrong they are. Alongside this, I'm realising the Words of God are far greater. I now realise that I can choose for the words of the world not to have power OVER me, and instead allow God's Word to work WITHIN me. Interesting to note how words that come from the enemy wants to control us, whilst the Word from God is to grow us and show us His love!
God bless you both :) I don't have Christian mentors or much family, so your videos are such a blessing for me ❤️ if anyone needs prayer please let me know!
PS a verse I find helping me through discontentment is "The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want" (Psalm 23:1)
I have all I need because I have Him ✝️
Wow... I am feeling so blessed through your comment! That verse touched my soul my friend! Praise God, I am thankful for you!
Could you pray fire my brother, Ricky. He is going through severe depression right now and most important prayer for him, he is not saved. I don't really understand, but he says he's not ready to be saved because he still wants to have fun, then my oldies brother told me they talked and the answer to that is he has sexual desires with women. He is 64 and not in the best of health. Thank you for you prayers
This video couldn’t have shown up on my feed at a more perfect time. I’ve been really struggling with discontentment these past few months and it’s gotten worse this month. I’ve been praying and striving to focus on God, but it’s been hard because I’ve been looking left and right instead of at Jesus! Thank you for this message and reminder ❤️
Great video as always ladies! I recently have been obsessed with not having a boyfriend. It's easy to get caught up in my discontentment. When I slow down and think about it, I see how silly I am being. Who cares that a guy isn't pursuing me when the Lord is so graciously showing me his love? If I'm being honest, it's a blessing that I don't have a boyfriend right now because it would take me eyes off the Lord. I have some spiritual maturing to do before considering getting into a romantic relationship. Thank God for his patience and never ending love! This has been a lesson in rejoicing in the Lord's timing and enjoying life with him right where he has me.
I feel this all the way… my mom thinks that I’m not ready for a relationship still. She says that I need my priorities to be on top along with God. I’m not the only one going thru this. I’m happily single after a rough breakup in 2020 and it has been an interesting journey being single after going to a relationship very immature at the age of 14. Big mistake. But thank God I have been released from manipulation along with condemnation 🙏🙏
Always so good to learn from you girls!! You really encourage me. I think discontentment is something we all struggle with. For me it has been wanting to be pursued. There's is more. But this video just really reminded me once again to fix my eyes on the Lord. Thanks. Blessings!
Deseree.... Amen, I am so resonating with you. Not only am I thanking God for you and the blessing that you are, but I am also praying for you!
Thank you so much!! 😚💞💞
Def feeling this today, and I usually am content with not dating or being pursued by anyone. It’s a struggle!
Thank you for posting this. Just a few minutes ago before I watched it, I was crying because of many of the things you mentioned. Feeling looked over for something at work, I've struggled with my weight for a while due to stress eating, and I'm also 32 and have never been in a relationship (I too want to be pursued). Due to my schedule at work (I'm a teacher) my time with God has been limited to nonexistent. The last few weeks have been hard with many LONG days. Guess I need to focus on getting back in touch with God and remembering who He created me to be. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
My husband and I are really struggling with waiting for a child of our own. The desire to have a child is so strong it is painful. We already love our future child, it hurts to have all this love saved up and we can't even give it to him or her.
Jeremiah 32:17 is really encouraging
We have been taught the definition of contentment in the earthly realm. However, contentment in the Spiritual realm will give you a sense of joy that is totally amazing. Don’t be fooled by what the world’s expectations are. Great message girls.
Truth!!! Need to re watch this because it's so full of truth. I'm sick of being sick! Sick of my discontenment and self inflicted pain. I need Jesus!!! 🙌❤
Philippians 4:4-20
Lots of good stuff in there. Currently struggling with being discontent in my job situation (stay at home wife) and with home repairs needing to be completed. It's very stressful and I do keep thinking "if only"... Thank you for this wonderful video.
This video meant everything to me. I have been struggling to be content, and feeling like im alone and without any friends when I know that is not true but I really struggle to step out and make new friends, and feeling like I have no one to tell that to! I love you guys so much and this video gave me so much encourgement! A verse that helps me is psalm 37:4-5 Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness. Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. 💕
Taylor, you are so grounded and level headed. I know when we see our friends or siblings get into happy healthy relationships, we can start to feel left out and honestly kinda jealous. Not in a mean way, we are happy to see our loved ones so happy, but we start to wonder when we will get to experience that happiness. You are sooo young and have an amazing personality, are freaking GORGEOUS and have so much to offer. God will provide you a worthy young man in His time and I love that you are keeping your eyes fixed on Christ in the mean time. I think your attitude is so healthy and you are such a positive person and positive role model for young girls. 💕
Wow! That scripture was so convicting! I relate in that where I have been struggling with is discontentment relationally. There is a guy who I am friends with but to be honest like him a lot more than a friend. The thing he I don’t know if he feels the same way and has given no way to make me think he does. I’ve been really trying to surrender this to the Lord as I want his will and not mine over the situation. I know that whatever his will is that it will be good. Even though sometimes it doesn’t feel good, doesn’t take away the truth that it is good. Love y’all! Hope you have a blessed week! 💛
Melissa! I loved reading this, and wow🥺 I relate a lot. You are in my prayers! You are so beloved and God is moving in your life!
@@coffeeandbibletime when you guys comment back you should put “- Taylor” or “-Ashley” so we know which one of you is commenting back 😁
Love seeing young folks with a passion for a relationship with our dad.
I rehearse Hebrew 13:5 when I feel alone or discontent in any way. I’m not always quick to remember but I do eventually. “ Keep your life free from money and be content with what you have, for He has said ‘I will never leave you nor forsake you’”. Hebrews 13:5. Lately I’ve compared myself to other people at school who seem to be doing better than me and especially other Christian students at another school who don’t seem to be struggling like I am. A big thing I’m discontent about recently is clothes. I compare my clothes to other people who have more clothes and better clothes and I feel discontent in that area. Please pray for me! Thank you for everything you do Ash and Taylor! You both are such a blessing.
I have been praying over these truths this week as well. For the Lord to show me how he see me and not how this world says I should look or be. Even down to struggling with being the perfect believer. I watch all these videos and you see them all have scripture memorized and seem like they have it all together and here I am a HOTMESS. But Jesus still loves me in my junk. Thanks for letting Jesus use you and sharing with us.
I was studying in my biology textbook and read about cancer and how it develops and just knew that it was going to be brought up again and then an hour later I watch this video and you compare discontentment to cancer.. wow. Okay, Lord, I hear You. Thank you girls for your encouraging videos and for the reminder that God's perfect will for my life is PERFECT and it is given by a good and perfect Father who loves me. Lord, please remove the spirit of discontentment from our heart's and have our eyes focused on You. Amen.
Ladies… you have no idea how much I needed this in the new year where I felt I had to be “more” or “better”. I struggle hardcore with perfectionism and striving to be “good enough”. Your openness has done wonders in my walk with Christ and Im so grateful for all God is doing in you both and that you followed the path of ministry. Much love from AZ in 2023❤️
Thank you for your transparency, this was a very timely message! It's funny because I read Philippians today and one of the passages I was mediating on is Philippians 4:11-13 "Not that I was ever in need, for I have learned how to be content with whatever I have. I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little. For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength." May we be content in the Lord, always 🙏🏾
Btw your eye color is so pretty it matched your sweater perfectly lol 💚
I’ve dealt with so many health issues and had my trust broken within the church. Please pray for me to find contentment not so that I can earn a gift from God, but I would simply see the beauty and freedom of following Christ again.
Oh sis , this is something which i struggle with too , i have chronic illness and its hard when people say like i don’t have enough faith thats why im not healed and all.. sis il be praying for you , i know how discontent i can feel sometimes, but god is helping me too sis .. god will surely help you with a good church , love you so much , i also pray for your health , i pray god gives you strength to handle every day. 💛
Wow… I needed this. A struggle of mine right now is that I have a health condition that I got diagnosed with 2 1/2years ago. It’s been a struggle to feel confident and love my body. I am so discontented with how my health is right now. Prayer would be appreciated for it to get better and I would grow in confidence. Thank you all💕
Galatians 1:10 is encouraging and challenging to our faith: “For am I now trying to win the favor of people, or God? Or am I striving to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.”
Thank you! I am struggling with discontentment and sadness from the loss of my husband. I am going to go back and read James, Ephesians, and Hebrews. I am doing everything to keep my eyes on God. My husband has been gone seven weeks today, and I hate to say I am jealous of my friends and family who still have their spouses. I need to work on that, and learn to be content with this new life I am forced to live. I need to be content in God.
I truly appreciate both of you. having found your channel has been such a blessing. The church I attend had a women's night on Tuesday and those exact passages from James were part of the message, so to hear again within just a couple days from each other has hit me hard and I know I was meant to hear and listen and take it to heart. Thank you both for sharing your love of God and Jesus with the world. ♥️
Oh Angela God is so good to us in this way... I am so thankful and deeply humbled that I was able to join you along in this journey of heart transformation through the book of James!
We are sisters in Christ🥺🥺❤thank you for all that encouragement!
Hebrews 13:5 - Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
This is a verse that helps me with my discontentment. I really needed to hear these truths. Thank you for sharing. Glory to God! 🙌
Het taylor lot's of ❤ . I have been struggling with my marks and have been discontented. But today I scored well in my test Praise God 😊 . I struggle with body image too 🥺 then I remember "My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth."
Psalm 139:15
Thank you so much for posting this video! I find that I have been discontent a lot in my life, but God has been so good/blessed me with so much, and hearing how I should not be discontent because I have Him, is so true- because He is all I need. Thank you again!
Woo! This word was needed and convicting, and you handled it with gentleness and grace. Discontentment can kill dreams, hope, & faith, but God is the Great Reviver and will bring those things back to life! Psalms 121:1-2 came to my heart to share. 💛
This was greatly needed message for me. Proverbs 3:5-6 " Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways submit to Him and He will make your paths straight". Has been a bold and vivid verse to help me through similar trials.❤️
This was so powerful! I’ve been struggling to feel content with my new school I transferred too. I had such solid community and I’m struggling to find it. I’ve found my mind comparing myself to a friend group I’m “supposed”to have at this college when the Lord has already blessed me with an incredible group of girls from my old small group who still are pursuing my life daily! The Lord has also brought me a group of younger girls at this college that I can pour into but instead I’ve just been grumbling. John 15 has been a good one to remind myself of that I can do nothing apart from Christ!
Great job ladies! I love love love to see young people working for the lord it brings a great amount of joy to my heart. God Bless and never ever change 🙏🏾💚
I love your realness and willingness to be so transparent. But the topping on this cake is your heart for seeing others drawn to Jesus and His Word. Keep up the great Kingdom work sweet little sister in Christ. Thank you for the blessings you allow God to deliver through you. You are beautiful inside and out. Sending love and hugs to you💞
I struggle with discontentment myself. After reading the book Seated with Christ by Heather Holleman that you recommended, Taylor, we are all on the path that God wants us on. We shouldn’t compare, get discouraged, etc with the path we are on in life. We are right where God wants us to be. Each path for everyone is different! 😊
Thank you, ladies for another encouraging video when I need it the most!! ❤️
Wow! Gentle conviction that I personally needed this morning. I struggle a lot with where I am in life vs others. Which isn’t okay. I get ahead of myself and it really reminds me to slow down and SAVOR these moments in my life, that I am certain I will miss someday. God is always good. Thanks for letting Him work through you both and for sharing it with us. ❤️
Hi Taylor you vid touched me. I would like to share, when I was 16 I was injured I broke my spine. My take from this is not what god gave me but what god saved me from, a lifetime of being unable to walk I know that is was by the grace and love of God that I still walk to this day. When ever I find myself empty of Christ I just think back and see the glory of God at work in my life. Bless you all at CBT for your words and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ our Lord and saviour. Amen
Philippians 4:4 "always be joyful in the Lord, I repeat always be joyful." Tjats my favorite verse and its truly so powerful as it stands as a reminder that even in the midst of our circumstances regardless of the things going through our mind or the images and opinions shoving their way into our head that we can find JOY IN THE LORD. He is the creator and holder of joy and not only that but that joy is a state lf being while happiness is an emotion that comes and goes.
Yes!! I love this verse too! As Christians, there is always a reason to be joyful and thankful❤️
this really enlightened me today. God really has His amazing way of speaking in our lives, a moment ago I was asking for clarity and here it goes!! God is pursuing us everyday 🥺🥺🥺🤍🤍🤍
I am so blessed 🙏 for you Taylor and your messages. I agree with you 100 percent. Yes we belong to Jesus and scripture says we are not our own but belong to Christ 💯 when we made the decision to accept him. Jesus is the Love of my life.Collossions 2:10 says,"For I am complete in Christ...
Amen!! That's really true...where very busy looking for what others have but we missed on what God had given us sooooo much that we needed and we want. Trully!!
You have a beautiful testimony and you are always a source of encouragement to me in 5 days I will start the 1 year of bible school at sabaoth Church I am breaking down the barriers on a wrong God that I was taught when I was a Catholic, not to be idolatry and now I have also understood that God is not punitive but he is a loving father I have a mentor and a pastoress who are teaching me the value of pure relationships ... For this I will always thank God 🙏🔥
This channel is such a blessing for me when ever I visit this channel I get motivation to stay connected with God . Thanks guys more blessing .
Thanks guys this really helped me. I had forgotten about all the blessings God has given me but I now see and I am truly grateful.💕
Thanks so much girls. If you could, I'd really appreciate prayer for my discontentment and feeling under pressure because I would've liked to have been further along career-wise and in regards to finding the right guy for me. It has been so exhausting continually coming to dead-ends. I'm in my late 20's now so it is hard not over think and worry
Dear Lord, please help Amy cling to your words in Phillipians 4:6-7 "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Amen
It's always that contenment I had in my heart about God!All the things spoken by you were already felt and struck my head always!!💯
How similar is Taylor to me I thought for a second!😍😉
Thankyou for letting me know that I was in the right track!I used to always think of God when I come across these worldly things of love , friendships ,idols like you said......whenever the discussion ended in our peer group about wordly things of saying they are married,they have a car ,they own a iphone .....all I tell to my self is *I HAVE JESUS!*Nothing can beat that!!
Thankyou Taylor and Ashley you guys are AMAZING!♥️
LOVE FROM INDIA😍
i missed a lot of your videos because I was sick ang was not able to use my mobile but I thank and praise the Lord for healing me and I was able to watch them again..
i needed to hear this topic and it is very timely that I got a time to watch it...Thank you Taylor and Ashley..God bless you always..You inspired me so much to draw more closer to God and to know Him deeper everyday.
I am always proud in introducing your channel to my friends and cousins..
I love yall both!! I'm 45 and learn so much from yall channel!!
Thank you so much.i struggle with discontentment at times.so thank you for your words.God Bless you
I love this! This is exactly what so many girls struggle with. Thank you for your honesty.
Cynthia amen to that! I pray to God that he would use my honesty to bring him glory!
Wow! Thank you for the loving rebuke. You guys ❤️❤️❤️
ahhh this is so encouraging, thank you!
Our fellowship has been talking about not forsaking the gathering of the saints (Hebrews 10:25) for this exact reason. Your brothers and sisters are here to remind you of what it says in the Word, to encourage and support you, to point you to Christ through the work of the Holy Spirit, to remind you of the Truth which is Jesus, and even to call you out and help you when you begin to stray, in love and according to God's word. So, thank you for sharing with us Taylor and Ashleigh! Praise God!
One of the things that I constantly have to check myself on, is feeling like I need to do "big" things for them to be counted as valuable (like being a missionary or even a martyr). Praise the Lord for His word, for the Body of Christ and for prayer because without these, oof, man, this brain can go into overdrive ("Martha-mode").
But, we pray for each other, especially as our redemption draws near (Luke 21:28)!!
Keep reading the Word, sisters and brothers; keep praying and seeking the Lord's guidance and His* will for your lives, and do not forsake the gathering of the saints!
Oh we love You Lord Jesus. Lord, we know that you are a Good Good Father. We know Lord that You are the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End, the Head and not the tail. You are everlasting. The same yesterday, today and forever. You are gracious and Your love is rich in mercy. However, Lord, You are righteous, Father your are Holy and You are just. Lord, we are nothing but dust. Your word tells us that from dust we came and to dust we will return and yet Lord, the things of this life at times feel so real and important and they distract us and take our focus away from You. Yet You care enough about us to give us Your son. Still, You, Oh Lord have bought us out of slavery to sin and have made us slaves to Your righteousness. We are grateful Lord. We love You, Lord and we want to be with You on the day of our Lord Jesus. We ask, Holy Spirit that You may draw us nearer to Christ. Lead us in the Word. Strengthen our faith, Oh Lord, that we may press on to the End. We love You Lord. We praise Your Holy name, El Shaddai. In the sweet name of our Lord Jesus, our Saviour we pray, Amen.
This is true. Even though I am in my late 50's I love your channel and these videos are very encouraging for women of all ages!
Amen
per usual you guys have really blessed my heart, and yet again showed me that I am not alone...i've been feeling very dicontent with myself, the way i'm hesitating with getting closer to God even tho I desperately want to know him... and alongside this, I have dating a person I truly love, but afraid to lose and i've become distugested with myself.
Thank you so much Taylor and Ashley!! This video was SO GOOD 🙌 God bless you girls and thank you for always being so encouraging and for using your channel to glorify God and to bless us! Love you girls 💕
such a great video! this world breeds discontentment. i try my best to start every morning in a prayer of thanksgiving to the lord! no matter what I need to remind myself of all I have been blessed with and not let His love disappear from my mind simply because the world wants it to. I struggle so much with comparison so this video was very helpful. thank you for all you do! God bless your whole family!!
Thank you so much for creating videos that help me in my walk with God. I’m dealing with discontentment with my job. I feel not good enough as my coworkers and mentors. I feel like I don’t make a difference in my preschoolers lives because I’m constantly seeing myself as not good enough. God called me to this job I’m just feeling burned out or I haven’t figured out my identity in him yet. Pray for me to have joy every morning instead of fear/anxiety. Cultivating my relationship has taken a back seat feeling because I’m so mentalh exhausted I go to other things such as sleep and tv to relax but honestly it’s not relaxing anymore because i miss God. Philippians 4:13 stand out most to me. Anna
Oh Taylor, you always speak such truth and life. Funny all the things you are going through, I currently am going through. You are always so darn relatable! Thank you for being real, it’s more encouraging than you know!
One of your guys best videos. Thanks for sharing -Aubriel
Feeling blessed watching your videos!Lots of love from Nepal
Hi Taylor, I don't think I've commented on a youtube video in over like 5 years haha but this time I really felt called to comment. I just want you to know that I am praising God that He used you to speak these words right into my heart. I have been STRUGGLING with discontentment these pass few weeks were I feel like Ive been slipping into this deep dark pit I can't get out of. Your words "discontentment is like having an emotional affair" and "being discontent leads to idolatry' convicted me so deeply.. also where you explained the dangers of making decisions from a place of discontentment.. I felt I have been tempted to do just that. God speaks just in the right timing. Praising God for Coffee and Bible Time!
Ecclesiastes 5:19 “Also, every man to whom God has given riches and possessions, He has also given the power and ability to enjoy them and to receive [this as] his [allotted] portion and to rejoice in his labor-this is the gift of God [to him].”
Ecclesiastes 5:19 AMP
Yesssssss pulling out some Ecclesiastes!!!! One of my favorite books of the Bible☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️
Thank you so much for sharing! I have been really attacked with discouragement and discontentment. When I came to The Lord almost 3years ago now I laid eveything down and now that I'm 25 unmarried back home and no close christian friends/sisters in Christ to share friendship with it has been a struggle . even though I know I'm in God's Will . trying to trust His plan and ways. It is such adultery in our hearts. Thank you so much such a blessing from Jesus. Thankful for the Body of Christ. I love you all in The Love of Jesus❤
God Gave me this to encourage me when being impatient and feelings of sadness about where I am try to overtake my heart.
DELIGHT YOURSELF IN THE LORD and He will Give you the desires of your heart.
Psalm 37:4-5
Seek first the kingdom of God and His Rigteousness and all these things shall be added unto you.
Matthew 6:33
We must delight in Him first and He will bless us with Himself the ONE who is all the blessing on this earth we truly need😊❤
Wow just wow felt like I need to click this vid so glad I did thank you and thank you Jesus
Thank you!!! This has helped me a lot!!
God bless you❤️
I was discontent on a lot of things in my life lately.. thank you sis, this message was what I needed, it came right on time..I gotta commit my whole life to Him and be grateful for what He has blessed me with 🤗🙏🔥🌺
Wow, I have been truly blessed by the depth and spiritual understanding of this young child of God. May the Lord Jesus continue to open the eyes of your heart by the work of the Holy Spirit to know Him more. Sanctify her in the truth Lord Father, Your word is truth (John 17:17) 🙌🕊
I was studying James 4 last month thanks to a recommendation from a pastor because I was really struggling with it and, although I felt comforted, I left that monthly study feeling like I had missed something, that there was another message that did not get through me, that I needed to go more in depth but I didn’t know how or what to search for, and then this video popped up, so thank you for your work!
Só sweet and truly words! God bless you 🥰
Congratulations!!!! So happy for you both!
I really needed to hear this. Thank you Taylor and Ashley!
How much I love these videos! God bless u
Oh my you two are beautiful outside and inside!
Thank you Jesus I needed to hear this 🙌🏿 It blessed my soul💗💗 God bless you ladies 🤗
I’ve never related to something so much as this!! I find myself being/ feeling discontent so often lately and if I’m being completely honest I’m prone to be hard on myself and let the enemy speak lies that aren’t true to me! It’s in those times though that I know I can’t stay in that mindset and in hindsight Jesus knows us better than we know ourselves! He knows and understands us only He can satisfy and trust that He knows best and his timing is perfect in everything! With all that being said thank y’all so much for this video God bless y’all !😁🙌🏻
This video was so so touching ❤️❤️
God bless you wow this really spoke to me I just started my 20s and I to suffer with discontentment and a lot has to do with our generation and Instagram and Facebook and seeing other people where they are in lives and I start to questioned where I am in life and this was a really great and powerful reminder reminding us to be thankful and grateful for where we are in lives Gods timing is perfect each of us has a purpose and that purpose will be prevail if we continue to walk with Christ and give him control and be thankful for where we are now cause God still has a purpose with us ❤️ thank u so much for sharing
This video has been a blessing.. I needed to hear this today. Most of us struggle with discontentment. Myself included. Comparison has been in my life for way too long now. I really appreciate this reminder that God will provide and keep on loving unconditionally. I have a habit of taking things for granted, and I’m doing my best to keep a healthy routine of exercising, praying, and reading. Thank you Taylor and Ashley! 💖💖
Wow thanks Taylor I feel discontent in all areas of my life now thanks for your vulnerability in this video it really encouraged me ❤️🙏🏾
Preach it Taylor! You go girl! God bless you
Wow so on time, needed to hear this. So thankful for you guys, it feels like I'm always talking with a sister when you guys make videos. ♥️
Awesome message 👏, continue the good work, you are blessed
Amen! Thank you!
Thank you Jesus
Amen
Thanks Taylor
I am so grateful for this word today!
Thank you so much 😊 I really needed to hear this.
Yes thank you so much for this awesome awesome message powerful and true in Jesus name. The kingdom of God just recently today as a matter fact showed me clearly that a situation that has been going on lately I titled as discrimination, the Lord showed me today that was just a cover for envy. I don’t know if that makes any sense or not. I thought I was fighting for justice for this certain subject and it that it was discrimination to me and we the people the Lord open my eyes and showed me today that my heart was filled with envy. Discrimination and envy there is a fine line between the two it gets tricky and the enemy is tricky. Outstanding message today sisters!
Proverbs 14:30; "A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones." 2. Mark 7:21-22; “For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed the evil thoughts, fornications, thefts, murders, adulteries, deeds of coveting and wickedness, as well as deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride and foolishness.
Thank you for this video stay blessed❤️🙏
Thank you so much for this wonderful message, Taylor. Just needed this reminder! Thank you so much and Got bless you! - Psalms 34, 63, 103 and 119,33-40 help me in different stages of depression and discontentment (from re-assurance to getting back what matters).
Thanks for being so honest! You're awesome! :)
