hey sis, let's chat! it's my last video for 2024 (eek!) so let's reminisce together. today's question: what is ONE thing you have learned about God this year?! for me: i've had a revelation this year of God's holiness and it specifically came through the trials I experienced this year. This increased understanding of His holiness has increased my reverence for Him and His word and truly changed my faith in Him in a very real and tangible way. TO GOD BE THE GLORY!
God revealed Himself as a Father (parent) to me this year. He ended a relationship that I really wanted, it did me really bad but His love for me saved me and He wiped away my tears and healed me quicker than I thought....His love covered me.
I've definitely learnt how much I can actually trust God - I've had this perception that God sees my life as a puppet and he's the puppeteer pulling and dangling the strings and like a puppet, I didn't know how he'd do it but he just would and he didn't have good plans for me. I'm not saying that my year has been amazing , nor would I say this was a terrible year but this was a year where I saw in a new way how wonderful it is to just delight in Him and no matter what, all things done by God are good, even when I don't understand it.
God has had me to be still and know that He is God. No matter what's going on around me, I must keep my eyes fixed on Him and not worry. I did pray for patience, so he's given me that for sure!
When I was a child, I remember the older saints saying stuff like..."God kept me" " If it wasn't for God keeping me, i would've lost my mind ".. and this year I finally get it. I really don't have the words to explain it. I just know that there is no part of my life that I ever want to live separate from my Perfect Father❤
I was let go from my job in August, I had no savings only the severance pay I received. God has kept me. I still have no job however, my bills were paid. I can’t tell you how I really can’t but what I can say with my full chest is God Kept Me, hallelujah God
You. Me. Same. I was let go in March and still nothing. God has shown himself faithful during this time of unemployment. Im still in my home, lights on, wifi running, fridge full! God is Keeping Me!
Thank You for sharing. I have been laid off twice in the😮 past 6 months. I was laid off in June. I started working for another job in August and was laid off a few weeks a Dec 3rd. Both companies gave me severance pay which I know is only by the grace of God. The severance pay has taken care of my Dec & Jan rent, however I don’t know how my Feb rent will be paid. I’m trusting God to open up the window of heaven and pour out a big blessing!
I learned this year that God is indeed a way maker. Miracle worker. Promise keeper. And light in the darkness. 2023 was a TERRIBLE year for me, BUT GOD. He kept me all 2024.❤
I’ve learned that God may tell us to go somewhere not because we are going to receive something, like a job, marriage, money, etc but to learn things like being obedient, patience, learning how to submit and more. And that’s so much better than anything we wanted to get.
One thing I have learned this year about God is that everything that happens to us, happens for a reason. We may not understand why these things are happening but He is the only one that knows. All that we have to do is trust Him and leave everything in His hands and He will do that rest.
I learned this year about the mercy of God. Oh this year God showed me so much mercy, He picked me up from the lowest and messiest moments of my life🥺. The best part is that He didn't even keep a record of the mistakes I made, His love felt even more overwhelming in my darkest moments. Thank you, Lord, for your mercy❤.
I’ve learned that God is patient and slow to anger. This was really important for me to learn because after I started getting in my word, pray, and repenting, I was so ashamed and disgusted with my natural ways. Until I learned that God is happy for our return to him. He tells us to rejoice and not be sadden. That was a important lesson for me
ONE thing I’ve learned about God this year is that He is FAITHFUL!!! Faithful to help, to keep, to discipline, to forgive, to speak, to guide, to teach, to love, to heal, and to answer prayer! Our LORD is who He says He is and does what He says He’ll do!!
I learned that God will never ask me to do something that is uncomfortable for me if it wasn’t in His will. If he’s asking me to do a hard thing then it’s to better me and those around me.
Today i had a still birth at 19 weeks me and my husband. My first child. I just trust in God because I know he need our baby boy in heaven with him for a reason. I'm just thankful I got to experience this pain and suffering and that I made it through. My husband is taking it hard but I'm at peace and comfort with it. My cervix was weak and water broke this morning. We got to hold baby boy until it was time for us to get discharged. Now I'm watching your video and it brings me peace. ❤ thank you 🥹🙏🏼❤️💪🏾🫂
Oh my sister. While I cannot imagine how this moment is for you and your family, I sincerely pray that God’s grace will continue to keep you in peace and that His grace will comfort both you and your husband during this time. God speed 🙏🏾
I learned that God’s word is true and doesn’t change with time. He is who he says he is no matter what I go through. He is the author and the finisher. I’ve come to understand that when I pray to him in faith, the outcome is his decision and his will for my life regardless of what I think it should be.
What I have learned from God this year is that He is faithful, and trustworthy. What He say is going to do He will do. He has come through to me in so many ways this year financially. Also, I grew in the area of suffering. I learned to be calm and at peace in times of suffering.
I have learned to TRUST God more. To be more PATIENT. And to WAIT! Waiting for His promises and His goodness as He reveals Himself to me with every passing day!!! And to DWELL in the beauty of His holiness and be recollective of all His goodness God's faithfulness never ceases. His mercies never comes to an end. They are new every morning...
I learned this year that God truly ALWAYS wants to use us and our lives for good, and as a way to glorify Him and advance His kingdom.. but He needs us to surrender to Him first. I’ve also learned that He’s a God we can always TRUST. There’s never been a time when I’ve listened to His voice, and followed the paths He’s given me and been disappointed. It is always ALWAYS good.
This year I learned that God is truly for me, in all things. He is not a man that He should lie, and I had been looking for people to give their all for me, when Someone, Jesus, has already done that for me. He chose me! He gave His all for me; it’s a love I never knew I needed until I found myself being failed by every other kind of love. God is good, and He is so kind and so there for me. It’s been a beautiful year.
I claim it in my life. Because this year I really suffered emotional. But it is all for the glory of God cos I went through those tribulations with understanding. 2025 is premium enjoyment.
I've learnt that God is merciful and faithful. He wants what's best for us and meet us where we're at. He allows us to go through what we go through and knows what we can handle, and through those situations, we learn and become stronger
I learned that God will strip you everything that is hindering you from worshiping him in spirit and truth. I learned that He will walk you through the waters and fire. I learned that the weapons will be formed but they never prosper because God is protecting me. Lastly, I learned that God is truly my everything and the only sure thing in my life that will never forsake me. It was so hard this year. I lost a lot but Jesus never abandon me.
One thing that I’ve learned more about God this season,is that He is so much Bigger than anything that I’m currently facing,and He’s able,He’ll never leave me or forsake me and that He’s not a man that He shall lie,Amen‼️🙏🏾♥️🙌🏾♥️🤲🏾♥️🙏🏾🛐‼️
Can't believe this is last video for 2024 what I've learned is that yes we will go through trials and tribulations but God is sovereign and trouble doesn't last long Happy Holidays to you and family!
This year I learned that God actually does all the heavy lifting in this relationship 😅 He fights our battles, He carries and lifts burdens, He makes a way in the wilderness. He perfects, He establishes, He strengthens, and He settles. Ours is simply to abide, obey, and seek, all by faith.
One of the things I learned about God this year is that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him. I asked for clarification of my relationships and myself. And He has done and continues to do just that. Amen!!!
This year I’ve learned that God is my salvation. In all the trials and tribulations going to him was the only way for me to gain strength, comfort, joy, peace etc. Without Him I would be lost and without hope. It’s because of him that I am here today, it’s because of his goodness that I made it through the toughest year of my life. Another sister said “God kept Me” and I totally agree God kept me this year and even though the suffering was tough, getting to know Him was well worth it. Amen. God bless you.
The last few years have been wracked with spiritual and emotional turmoil. But glory be to GOD🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 HE has revealed how HE is always present, and HE’S revealed how HE will send others to be spiritual and emotional support as well. These last few months have been the best I’ve ever experienced, and I can’t wait to see what GOD has prepared in 2025. Merry Christmas, everyone, and have a wonderful & blessed New Year🫶🏾
Your South African sis here! God is always with us even in the times we don’t feel him. He is still right their ready to catch us if we fall and to guide us but he is still helping and shaping us in those times to mature. He is a Father and as soon as His daughter needs him, He is ready to be available. He truly is Love and Life x
I’ve learned to submit to God in every area of my life, specifically my thoughts, emotions, and feelings. Thank you for your videos. They have edified and inspired me. May God continue to bless you. See you in 2025!
This video means so much to me, being that I’m currently in and walking out of a season of suffering that affected me mentally and physically, it has definitely taught me that with Christ I can get through anything and come out stronger and wiser than I did before going through what I went through.
Ive learned (already knew but reminded that) GOD sustains us (whatever the suffering or situation may be) He sustains us and just as she mentioned from the Scripture He strengthens us and keeps us going (the situation happens) He brings us through it to manage (ourselves (learn, grow, do different, do better) help others- whether it be Spiritually / Faith based or something else etc.) we are able to manage better in the future. Its all GOD ✝️🙌🏾🙏🏽✝️🙌🏾and for His Glory!!! Thank You GOD!!! May you all have a happy and Blessed Christmas ✝️ and New Year ✝️❤🎉🙏🏽🙌🏾
I have learned that God will show you who you are & how your supposed to live your life . He really made me appreciate a lot of things that happens in life as well 🙌🏾
I learned with the things I struggle with, as long as I remain in him I should not get discouraged because he will strengthen me and I shall not give up
I learned that despite God being all that he is, He does hear and answer us. That God is exactly who his word says he is and surrendering to and trusting in him was the best the decision i could &will ever make ❤
I’ve learned (processed), that His justice is just as much a part of His righteousness as His other attributes; like His grace, compassion and love. He is good and everything He does is wonderful…even the things we don’t understand.
In this year, I’ve learned that God is love and a Covenant Keeper. I’ve also learned that He is a VERY PRESENT Help in our time of neeed. Thank You Lord Jesus for all You have done for me❤
Melody, thank you for your obedience to the Lord! I am so encouraged by your love for the Lord and His word. One thing the Lord has shown me this year is that He is truly with me, not just for me. Suffering can produce resentment towards the Lord, but it can also produce an intimacy with the Lord; that can only come through falling back into the arms of the One who truly knows what's best for us. This year has been testing, but it also removed many of the false perceptions that I had regarding suffering and how much God cares for us even when many things in our lives are hard. God is still good, kind, and perfect when life is not going as planned.
That no matter what it takes, He will make you pay attention to what He’s doing and get you back on track. And that He doesn’t forget the prayers you prayed, even if you do 🥹🫶🏽
I woke up this morning abruptly and I felt like God put it on my heart to prioritize him. It was an unwavering push & this was the first video I decided to watch after praying about it. Thank you for creating a safe space for Christian women like myself to restore our faith🤍.
This year, I learned to fully let go of me being in control in order to wholeheartedly trust God. It has taught me patience, how to retain joy, understanding Gods wisdom and soooo much more. I've endured lots of uncomfortable situations (trails) this year but it has taught me how to stay focused on God despite whats happening. Spiritually, I've grown, which has re-shaped me mentally and emotionally (glory be to God). It was needed to prepare me for what God has in 2025. Im so grateful for the trials and just pray I continue to be obedient as God continues to do his work within and throughout my life.
This past year God taught me that he gave us emotions for us to feel not for us to push them aside. Even Jesus allowed himself to feel his emotions with his friend Lazarus dying, in the garden when he cried to the Lord to remove the burden of death and on the cross when he grieved for us. It is okay to feel!
I have learnt that I can trust God with my life. He is faithful and good. He cares about every little detail of my life. I am content with knowing that He is in control. Praise be to God!
One thing I have learned is that God prioritizes my obedience. I’ve noticed that when things are stagnant in certain areas of my life, it’s usually because I have not been obedient to God’s promptings.
I know through this year that God loves me❤ . Even when we think God is not their He is walking with us getting us through trials and tribulations. Lets remember God is so good so merciful. God is love❤
Hello my sister in Christ. Thank you for your words of encouragement and thank you by the leading of the Holy Spirit for your help in the studying of God's word. I've learned, and still learning, God is a God of another chance, and I'm so grateful. I thank Jesus for His forgiveness, and healing. Love you too. Merry Christmas to you and your family and all reading this comment.❤🎄. God Bless
Orthodox Christianity speaks a lot to the lives of people and saints in the early Church that you mentioned! It actually documented years of persecution that Christians faced and how strong their faith was as Christianity continued to grow. The fact that the early Church survived all of those things and stayed standing is a testament that Christ really is ‘God with us’! I encourage you to read more into it too :) Orthodox Christianity stems directly from apostolic succession and can be traced back to the time of Christ and His apostles- I converted when I found it’s rich history.
I have learned in 2024 that My God is real!!! This year He continued to reveal all the ways he would connect all the dots in my life. I feel very blessed for his grace that he allowed me to suffer or endure the set backs so He could set me up for my future. All the pitfalls that I put myself through, all the bad choices, all the wrong people that I allowed were not for NOTHING; my God had a plan for my life and through his grace I get to experience his fruits of lessons and tell those behind me of ALL the ways he has kept me and how much I love him!
God taught me that I am valuable & worthy this year (even if I didn’t think or act like that about myself). But once I stood in my power, God & the Holy Spirit helped me realize that I deserve better & I can let go of things that are not good for me. And I can have greater & better things, simply because I am God’s child (I just have to believe it & I do because of Him). Thank you Jesus. ❤️
I would agree and say as a now 24 year old suffering at times is my favorite part of being a Christian. It’s odd to say but, honestly every time I go through suffering and painful situations in life, at the end of the trial I have came out spiritually stronger, stronger mind set, and even a clearer vision of where God wants me in life. I’m learning as a Christian in this walk of life that the gift at the end of my trials in moments of my life isn’t the best part of the reward, the actual process that got me there is the most precious to me ❤️❤️❤️
I learned this year that no matter how “well” we think we are planning out our lives God is always in control. “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” This verse in Matthew 6 has been revealed to me in many ways this year, but I am grateful to know that God is always with me even on the days I can’t feel him.
I was raised in the church. God has been a part of my life my entire life, but 2024 was the first year that I really truly authentically experienced God on my own, and enjoyed it, and was able to acknowledge just how good He is. I was able to not only acknowledge it, but experience it firsthand and recognize that it was happening; that I was being granted his mercy, his grace AND blessings on top of that .God showed up for me this year in a way that I’ve never seen or maybe was too blind to see. Like this is the first year (2025) that I was genuinely looking forward to the Daniel fast because I was excited to get even closer to God. Thank you for this video Melody. It truly taught me a lot and encouraged me to study the Bible deeper. God bless you this year sis! ❤
Thank you so much for sharing I have been up lifted, this has been a hard year yet this is a year I have grown,I have learnt that God is a father who will allow us to suffer and at times break us for our good,I have been broken through the disappointment of failing an exam twice and being in a place of uncertainty where my hand were tie and was in a toxic working environment but this enabled me to look up,that has been the way I escape suffering to look to Dad for strength, provision, guidance This message has come on a right time Merry Christmas
The moment I surrender my whole life to Christ including my mind, heart, soul and body. The suffer for Christ is real, the flesh vs the spirit is 100% real. I put a lot of pressure on my shoulder, to make sure my mind renew by God's word, control my emotions and my actions. I can't do this on my own strength, I know that the Holy Spirit in me and He will help me during this season but I also have to do my part to right..I'm right now in my pruning season + isolation, it's hard and challenging but I know in the end it's worth it. My only goal is right now be obedient, consistent and discipline in my walk with Christ !!
I've learned to pray in the spirt. Thtat's something I've never been able to do until most recently. Praying in the spirit hits different and I love it. Because I've learned this, I'm learning how to thank him in advance for everything he has already done.
Melody such a timely video for me ❤ In a time where a lot of content is reflective and encouraging to peruse more, thank you for the reminder that suffering is apart of our walk and shaping us more into his likeness. Hope you enjoy the holidays with your family. Hope you have an even better year ahead!
I think it’s beautiful that Jesus referred to Peter as the rock. The rock (Jesus) is the strong foundation, and Peter wrote about suffering. I love how intentional God is because you can clearly see that when times of suffering transpire, we need to lean on the rock; strong foundation who is Jesus.
One thing I learned about God this year is he wants us to fully fully rely on him that he’ll put us in situations where it can be down to the wire we have no idea how it’s going to get done and then poof. He makes something happen and he makes the situation resolved. He wants us to fully rely on God so if you happen to see this message going into 2025 do not worry and fully rely on God
I learned a number of things from the Holy Spirit in 2024. However, the most notable thing for me was the normalization of suffering in the life of the believer, as well as the unanticipated pain spiritual growth brings. God is faithful though, He reminded me that in this season He not only had his hand on me but was carrying me. Because had He not done that I would have lost my mind years ago ❤
I've learned that God's holiness isn't something to take lightly. This has caused me to learn to develop a holy fear of Him (while losing my fear of man), a closeness with him, and learning how that practically looks especially with obedience. I've learned to obey God even when it doesn't make sense and when it doesn't personally benefit me but his kingdom instead.
I came to the Lord asking for his blessings as a single mom because raising my son (Joel) was an act of courage despite all the challenges. And the Lord answered my prayers with a benefiting. income of $41,000 every month. To God be the glory. Joel is in school and life's been fair lately.
I've always wanted to be involved for a long time but the volatility in the price has been very confusing to me. Although I have watched a lot of TH-cam videos about it but I still find it hard to understand.
That in him there’s peace when in the world there’s trouble but take heart I have overcome the world. John 16:33 God wants me to become fully a servant of his. Priority to him is important because he is prominent. Wow! Never knew that scripture you were doing for this video at the beginning, but that verse has been haunting me for months and I honestly can’t thank him Enough for it, I’ve been through a lot since I can remember but he has been giving me peace. I have no words really but continue despite this life of sin and me being a distraction from him at times I know I need to continue to give him my all. He never hesitates to give me his.
This was an amazing video. This year our family buried five family members one of them was my little brother. On the day of my brothers passing I performed CPR. The CPR kept him alive long enough to get him to the hospital where he passed. I have been battling depression and suicidal ideation ever since. This morning I felt led to listen to a sermon and your video was the first video to show up in my feed. Thank you for your obedience and your words of wisdom❤. Have a blessed new year.
What I’ve learnt is that in order to receive the best of what God has for you, you have to step into a level of faith and obedience that doesn’t make sense and is very difficult. Though we know that God will follow through on His promise and the suffering has a purpose, it’s crazy how much we fight against it! Thank you so much for all your words of wisdom Melody, I truly appreciate you♥️ God Bless You & Your Family x
What I learned from God is that He does not work alone. He has the power to.do everything but He needs/wants our faith in Him to accomplish some actions. He does not.force is into doing anything but our faith is important to Him. I am learning to surrender to Him again. To God be the glory!!!
I really enjoy listening to you. Your voice is soothing, and the way you explain the word I simple and not preachy with error. You break it down from its original Hebrew text. Thank you❤
Your videos have been encouraging me deeply as I’ve finally built the courage to leave my narcissistic husband of 10 years. We have a 5 year old and he’s doing all he can to keep our son from me and to tear me all the way down. From false smear campaigns to manipulating our son and everyone else, I’ve felt defeated so many times. But I’ve learned to actively work at forgiving him (daily), and submitting my will to the Lord. You have helped me so much. Thank you🙏🏾 Wishing you a very blessed New Year!!
I really appreciate your word, this definitely touched me in a great way. Everything you said is so true, and I will continue to apply those things to my journey with God and relationship with him. God bless you!!
I just want to say thank you because I’ve been struggling with anxiety for the past few days. But especially today. And I know that when I watch any video on your channel, I’m immediately met with peace and calmness. So thank you for walking in assignment, because you and your content are so needed 🫶🏽
I've learnt that God is my protector,provider1 and strength and in my stillness He has moved and fought my battles ...Thank you Lord 🎉Great is your faoyhfulness
Hey sis, something I learned from God this year: he keeps his promises, and he shows it to us at his own timing! No matter how hard you pray for instant confirmation he will not grant it to you at your own time because he knows best!
Thank you Melody for sharing God’s love this year on your channel. I’ve learned that God is truly faithful and with God’s power working in us, God can do much, much more than anything we can ask or imagine.- Ephesians 3:20
Happy New Year! I’m glad that I stumbled on your page this year. Thank you for being obedient in sharing your wisdom with us. I for sure have received and heard so many things through your voice. God bless you and happy new year!
hey sis, let's chat! it's my last video for 2024 (eek!) so let's reminisce together. today's question: what is ONE thing you have learned about God this year?!
for me: i've had a revelation this year of God's holiness and it specifically came through the trials I experienced this year. This increased understanding of His holiness has increased my reverence for Him and His word and truly changed my faith in Him in a very real and tangible way. TO GOD BE THE GLORY!
I’ve learned how patient He has been with me! I love God for that!! ❤
This has also been a challenging year for me. I’ve learned that God specially equips us to go through our trials of we trust Him.
God revealed Himself as a Father (parent) to me this year.
He ended a relationship that I really wanted, it did me really bad but His love for me saved me and He wiped away my tears and healed me quicker than I thought....His love covered me.
I've definitely learnt how much I can actually trust God - I've had this perception that God sees my life as a puppet and he's the puppeteer pulling and dangling the strings and like a puppet, I didn't know how he'd do it but he just would and he didn't have good plans for me. I'm not saying that my year has been amazing , nor would I say this was a terrible year but this was a year where I saw in a new way how wonderful it is to just delight in Him and no matter what, all things done by God are good, even when I don't understand it.
God has had me to be still and know that He is God. No matter what's going on around me, I must keep my eyes fixed on Him and not worry. I did pray for patience, so he's given me that for sure!
When I was a child, I remember the older saints saying stuff like..."God kept me" " If it wasn't for God keeping me, i would've lost my mind ".. and this year I finally get it. I really don't have the words to explain it. I just know that there is no part of my life that I ever want to live separate from my Perfect Father❤
Amen - God kept me... when I didn't keep myself! So awed by His LOVE for me, for us! Happy Holidays!
Amen!!
Amen!
Yes! I know exactly what you mean.
AMEN! This year I really learned what that meant, never would’ve made it without God!
I was let go from my job in August, I had no savings only the severance pay I received. God has kept me. I still have no job however, my bills were paid. I can’t tell you how I really can’t but what I can say with my full chest is God Kept Me, hallelujah God
You. Me. Same. I was let go in March and still nothing. God has shown himself faithful during this time of unemployment. Im still in my home, lights on, wifi running, fridge full! God is Keeping Me!
Thank You for sharing. I have been laid off twice in the😮 past 6 months. I was laid off in June. I started working for another job in August and was laid off a few weeks a Dec 3rd. Both companies gave me severance pay which I know is only by the grace of God. The severance pay has taken care of my Dec & Jan rent, however I don’t know how my Feb rent will be paid. I’m trusting God to open up the window of heaven and pour out a big blessing!
Same here, same month as yours too
I learned this year that God is indeed a way maker. Miracle worker. Promise keeper. And light in the darkness. 2023 was a TERRIBLE year for me, BUT GOD. He kept me all 2024.❤
I’ve learned that God may tell us to go somewhere not because we are going to receive something, like a job, marriage, money, etc but to learn things like being obedient, patience, learning how to submit and more. And that’s so much better than anything we wanted to get.
One thing I have learned this year about God is that everything that happens to us, happens for a reason. We may not understand why these things are happening but He is the only one that knows. All that we have to do is trust Him and leave everything in His hands and He will do that rest.
Amen! So so true
I’m so with you. I say everything happens on purpose, for purpose. No detail skipped over. He’s such a good God so I trust Him. Amen, sis.
I learned this year about the mercy of God.
Oh this year God showed me so much mercy, He picked me up from the lowest and messiest moments of my life🥺.
The best part is that He didn't even keep a record of the mistakes I made, His love felt even more overwhelming in my darkest moments.
Thank you, Lord, for your mercy❤.
I’ve learned that God is patient and slow to anger. This was really important for me to learn because after I started getting in my word, pray, and repenting, I was so ashamed and disgusted with my natural ways. Until I learned that God is happy for our return to him. He tells us to rejoice and not be sadden. That was a important lesson for me
ONE thing I’ve learned about God this year is that He is FAITHFUL!!!
Faithful to help, to keep, to discipline, to forgive, to speak, to guide, to teach, to love, to heal, and to answer prayer!
Our LORD is who He says He is and does what He says He’ll do!!
I learned that God will never ask me to do something that is uncomfortable for me if it wasn’t in His will. If he’s asking me to do a hard thing then it’s to better me and those around me.
This year I learned that his ways are higher than my ways and “ for with God nothing is impossible “ Luke 1:37
period! love this
Today i had a still birth at 19 weeks me and my husband. My first child. I just trust in God because I know he need our baby boy in heaven with him for a reason. I'm just thankful I got to experience this pain and suffering and that I made it through. My husband is taking it hard but I'm at peace and comfort with it. My cervix was weak and water broke this morning. We got to hold baby boy until it was time for us to get discharged. Now I'm watching your video and it brings me peace. ❤ thank you 🥹🙏🏼❤️💪🏾🫂
Praying for God's comfort and strength to overflow for you and your husband. 🙏🏾❤️
@shawanda.denise727 Thank you so much ❤️🙏🏼🥹
Oh my sister. While I cannot imagine how this moment is for you and your family, I sincerely pray that God’s grace will continue to keep you in peace and that His grace will comfort both you and your husband during this time. God speed 🙏🏾
You are really strong. Stay blessed 🎉
❤🫂🫂🫂
May God comfort you, your hubby and your entire household
I learned that God’s word is true and doesn’t change with time. He is who he says he is no matter what I go through. He is the author and the finisher. I’ve come to understand that when I pray to him in faith, the outcome is his decision and his will for my life regardless of what I think it should be.
What I have learned from God this year is that He is faithful, and trustworthy. What He say is going to do He will do. He has come through to me in so many ways this year financially. Also, I grew in the area of suffering. I learned to be calm and at peace in times of suffering.
Hallelujah! What a challenge. God is good through it all!!
I have learned to TRUST God more. To be more PATIENT. And to WAIT! Waiting for His promises and His goodness as He reveals Himself to me with every passing day!!! And to DWELL in the beauty of His holiness and be recollective of all His goodness
God's faithfulness never ceases. His mercies never comes to an end. They are new every morning...
I learned this year that God truly ALWAYS wants to use us and our lives for good, and as a way to glorify Him and advance His kingdom.. but He needs us to surrender to Him first. I’ve also learned that He’s a God we can always TRUST. There’s never been a time when I’ve listened to His voice, and followed the paths He’s given me and been disappointed. It is always ALWAYS good.
This year I learned that God is truly for me, in all things. He is not a man that He should lie, and I had been looking for people to give their all for me, when Someone, Jesus, has already done that for me. He chose me! He gave His all for me; it’s a love I never knew I needed until I found myself being failed by every other kind of love. God is good, and He is so kind and so there for me. It’s been a beautiful year.
I claim it in my life. Because this year I really suffered emotional. But it is all for the glory of God cos I went through those tribulations with understanding. 2025 is premium enjoyment.
I've learnt that God is merciful and faithful. He wants what's best for us and meet us where we're at. He allows us to go through what we go through and knows what we can handle, and through those situations, we learn and become stronger
I learned that God will strip you everything that is hindering you from worshiping him in spirit and truth. I learned that He will walk you through the waters and fire. I learned that the weapons will be formed but they never prosper because God is protecting me. Lastly, I learned that God is truly my everything and the only sure thing in my life that will never forsake me. It was so hard this year. I lost a lot but Jesus never abandon me.
One thing that I’ve learned more about God this season,is that He is so much Bigger than anything that I’m currently facing,and He’s able,He’ll never leave me or forsake me and that He’s not a man that He shall lie,Amen‼️🙏🏾♥️🙌🏾♥️🤲🏾♥️🙏🏾🛐‼️
Can't believe this is last video for 2024 what I've learned is that yes we will go through trials and tribulations but God is sovereign and trouble doesn't last long Happy Holidays to you and family!
This year I learned that God actually does all the heavy lifting in this relationship 😅 He fights our battles, He carries and lifts burdens, He makes a way in the wilderness. He perfects, He establishes, He strengthens, and He settles.
Ours is simply to abide, obey, and seek, all by faith.
Amen, this was beautifully worded ❤
One of the things I learned about God this year is that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him. I asked for clarification of my relationships and myself. And He has done and continues to do just that. Amen!!!
This year I’ve learned that God is my salvation. In all the trials and tribulations going to him was the only way for me to gain strength, comfort, joy, peace etc. Without Him I would be lost and without hope. It’s because of him that I am here today, it’s because of his goodness that I made it through the toughest year of my life.
Another sister said “God kept Me” and I totally agree God kept me this year and even though the suffering was tough, getting to know Him was well worth it. Amen.
God bless you.
The last few years have been wracked with spiritual and emotional turmoil. But glory be to GOD🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 HE has revealed how HE is always present, and HE’S revealed how HE will send others to be spiritual and emotional support as well. These last few months have been the best I’ve ever experienced, and I can’t wait to see what GOD has prepared in 2025. Merry Christmas, everyone, and have a wonderful & blessed New Year🫶🏾
Your South African sis here!
God is always with us even in the times we don’t feel him. He is still right their ready to catch us if we fall and to guide us but he is still helping and shaping us in those times to mature. He is a Father and as soon as His daughter needs him, He is ready to be available. He truly is Love and Life x
I’ve learned to submit to God in every area of my life, specifically my thoughts, emotions, and feelings. Thank you for your videos. They have edified and inspired me. May God continue to bless you. See you in 2025!
This video means so much to me, being that I’m currently in and walking out of a season of suffering that affected me mentally and physically, it has definitely taught me that with Christ I can get through anything and come out stronger and wiser than I did before going through what I went through.
Even through the suffering, He will provide!!
Ive learned (already knew but reminded that) GOD sustains us (whatever the suffering or situation may be) He sustains us and just as she mentioned from the Scripture He strengthens us and keeps us going (the situation happens) He brings us through it to manage (ourselves (learn, grow, do different, do better) help others- whether it be Spiritually / Faith based or something else etc.) we are able to manage better in the future. Its all GOD ✝️🙌🏾🙏🏽✝️🙌🏾and for His Glory!!! Thank You GOD!!!
May you all have a happy and Blessed Christmas ✝️ and New Year ✝️❤🎉🙏🏽🙌🏾
I have learned that God will show you who you are & how your supposed to live your life . He really made me appreciate a lot of things that happens in life as well 🙌🏾
I learned that God always provides for me😭🙏he is a faithful God and Jesus loves me despite all my doubts ✨❤️🩹🍾Praise God🎉❤
I have learned that God Is the God of the bigger picture ❤😢
His perspective is infinite compared to my finite understanding of things.
I'm going to borrow that statement because that is so good!
@@jeennys8256 ❤️🙏
I learned with the things I struggle with, as long as I remain in him I should not get discouraged because he will strengthen me and I shall not give up
I've learnt that God is never late for provision, it comes when you are cornered and given up and that's when He shows up for you at the nick of time!
I have learnt that the battle is not mine but the Lord's
I learned that despite God being all that he is, He does hear and answer us. That God is exactly who his word says he is and surrendering to and trusting in him was the best the decision i could &will ever make ❤
I’ve learned (processed), that His justice is just as much a part of His righteousness as His other attributes; like His grace, compassion and love. He is good and everything He does is wonderful…even the things we don’t understand.
You look beautiful Melody. The Holy Spirit is truly shining through You, praise be to God and continue saying YES like Mary did, to our Lord.
In this year, I’ve learned that God is love and a Covenant Keeper. I’ve also learned that He is a VERY PRESENT Help in our time of neeed. Thank You Lord Jesus for all You have done for me❤
Melody, thank you for your obedience to the Lord! I am so encouraged by your love for the Lord and His word. One thing the Lord has shown me this year is that He is truly with me, not just for me. Suffering can produce resentment towards the Lord, but it can also produce an intimacy with the Lord; that can only come through falling back into the arms of the One who truly knows what's best for us. This year has been testing, but it also removed many of the false perceptions that I had regarding suffering and how much God cares for us even when many things in our lives are hard. God is still good, kind, and perfect when life is not going as planned.
That no matter what it takes, He will make you pay attention to what He’s doing and get you back on track. And that He doesn’t forget the prayers you prayed, even if you do 🥹🫶🏽
I woke up this morning abruptly and I felt like God put it on my heart to prioritize him. It was an unwavering push & this was the first video I decided to watch after praying about it. Thank you for creating a safe space for Christian women like myself to restore our faith🤍.
This year, I learned to fully let go of me being in control in order to wholeheartedly trust God. It has taught me patience, how to retain joy, understanding Gods wisdom and soooo much more. I've endured lots of uncomfortable situations (trails) this year but it has taught me how to stay focused on God despite whats happening. Spiritually, I've grown, which has re-shaped me mentally and emotionally (glory be to God). It was needed to prepare me for what God has in 2025. Im so grateful for the trials and just pray I continue to be obedient as God continues to do his work within and throughout my life.
This past year God taught me that he gave us emotions for us to feel not for us to push them aside. Even Jesus allowed himself to feel his emotions with his friend Lazarus dying, in the garden when he cried to the Lord to remove the burden of death and on the cross when he grieved for us. It is okay to feel!
I have learnt that I can trust God with my life. He is faithful and good. He cares about every little detail of my life. I am content with knowing that He is in control. Praise be to God!
One thing I have learned is that God prioritizes my obedience. I’ve noticed that when things are stagnant in certain areas of my life, it’s usually because I have not been obedient to God’s promptings.
I know through this year that God loves me❤ . Even when we think God is not their He is walking with us getting us through trials and tribulations. Lets remember God is so good so merciful. God is love❤
Hello my sister in Christ. Thank you for your words of encouragement and thank you by the leading of the Holy Spirit for your help in the studying of God's word. I've learned, and still learning, God is a God of another chance, and I'm so grateful. I thank Jesus for His forgiveness, and healing. Love you too. Merry Christmas to you and your family and all reading this comment.❤🎄. God Bless
Orthodox Christianity speaks a lot to the lives of people and saints in the early Church that you mentioned! It actually documented years of persecution that Christians faced and how strong their faith was as Christianity continued to grow. The fact that the early Church survived all of those things and stayed standing is a testament that Christ really is ‘God with us’! I encourage you to read more into it too :) Orthodox Christianity stems directly from apostolic succession and can be traced back to the time of Christ and His apostles- I converted when I found it’s rich history.
I have learned in 2024 that My God is real!!! This year He continued to reveal all the ways he would connect all the dots in my life. I feel very blessed for his grace that he allowed me to suffer or endure the set backs so He could set me up for my future. All the pitfalls that I put myself through, all the bad choices, all the wrong people that I allowed were not for NOTHING; my God had a plan for my life and through his grace I get to experience his fruits of lessons and tell those behind me of ALL the ways he has kept me and how much I love him!
God taught me that I am valuable & worthy this year (even if I didn’t think or act like that about myself). But once I stood in my power, God & the Holy Spirit helped me realize that I deserve better & I can let go of things that are not good for me. And I can have greater & better things, simply because I am God’s child (I just have to believe it & I do because of Him). Thank you Jesus. ❤️
I learnt that God is my Protector, my place of safety
I would agree and say as a now 24 year old suffering at times is my favorite part of being a Christian. It’s odd to say but, honestly every time I go through suffering and painful situations in life, at the end of the trial I have came out spiritually stronger, stronger mind set, and even a clearer vision of where God wants me in life. I’m learning as a Christian in this walk of life that the gift at the end of my trials in moments of my life isn’t the best part of the reward, the actual process that got me there is the most precious to me ❤️❤️❤️
I learned this year that no matter how “well” we think we are planning out our lives God is always in control. “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” This verse in Matthew 6 has been revealed to me in many ways this year, but I am grateful to know that God is always with me even on the days I can’t feel him.
God works in unconventional ways. He is my strength, and righteousness. And without him, there is absolutely nothing I can do.
I was raised in the church. God has been a part of my life my entire life, but 2024 was the first year that I really truly authentically experienced God on my own, and enjoyed it, and was able to acknowledge just how good He is. I was able to not only acknowledge it, but experience it firsthand and recognize that it was happening; that I was being granted his mercy, his grace AND blessings on top of that .God showed up for me this year in a way that I’ve never seen or maybe was too blind to see. Like this is the first year (2025) that I was genuinely looking forward to the Daniel fast because I was excited to get even closer to God. Thank you for this video Melody. It truly taught me a lot and encouraged me to study the Bible deeper. God bless you this year sis! ❤
I've learned God always shows up right on time!
Thank you so much for sharing I have been up lifted, this has been a hard year yet this is a year I have grown,I have learnt that God is a father who will allow us to suffer and at times break us for our good,I have been broken through the disappointment of failing an exam twice and being in a place of uncertainty where my hand were tie and was in a toxic working environment but this enabled me to look up,that has been the way I escape suffering to look to Dad for strength, provision, guidance
This message has come on a right time
Merry Christmas
The moment I surrender my whole life to Christ including my mind, heart, soul and body. The suffer for Christ is real, the flesh vs the spirit is 100% real. I put a lot of pressure on my shoulder, to make sure my mind renew by God's word, control my emotions and my actions. I can't do this on my own strength, I know that the Holy Spirit in me and He will help me during this season but I also have to do my part to right..I'm right now in my pruning season + isolation, it's hard and challenging but I know in the end it's worth it. My only goal is right now be obedient, consistent and discipline in my walk with Christ !!
I've learned to pray in the spirt. Thtat's something I've never been able to do until most recently. Praying in the spirit hits different and I love it. Because I've learned this, I'm learning how to thank him in advance for everything he has already done.
Melody such a timely video for me ❤ In a time where a lot of content is reflective and encouraging to peruse more, thank you for the reminder that suffering is apart of our walk and shaping us more into his likeness. Hope you enjoy the holidays with your family. Hope you have an even better year ahead!
I think it’s beautiful that Jesus referred to Peter as the rock. The rock (Jesus) is the strong foundation, and Peter wrote about suffering. I love how intentional God is because you can clearly see that when times of suffering transpire, we need to lean on the rock; strong foundation who is Jesus.
One thing I learned about God this year is he wants us to fully fully rely on him that he’ll put us in situations where it can be down to the wire we have no idea how it’s going to get done and then poof. He makes something happen and he makes the situation resolved. He wants us to fully rely on God so if you happen to see this message going into 2025 do not worry and fully rely on God
I’ve learned that HE is not only the GOD of our needs but also our wants
I learned a number of things from the Holy Spirit in 2024. However, the most notable thing for me was the normalization of suffering in the life of the believer, as well as the unanticipated pain spiritual growth brings. God is faithful though, He reminded me that in this season He not only had his hand on me but was carrying me. Because had He not done that I would have lost my mind years ago ❤
I've learned that God's holiness isn't something to take lightly. This has caused me to learn to develop a holy fear of Him (while losing my fear of man), a closeness with him, and learning how that practically looks especially with obedience. I've learned to obey God even when it doesn't make sense and when it doesn't personally benefit me but his kingdom instead.
I’ve learned that God will continue to pursue me and bring me back to him even when I have fallen short
I came to the Lord asking for his blessings as a single mom because raising my son (Joel) was an act of courage despite all the challenges. And the Lord answered my prayers with a benefiting. income of $41,000 every month. To God be the glory. Joel is in school and life's been fair lately.
Congratulations!! The scriptures clearly
states there's going a transference of the
riches of the heathen to the righteous.God
keep blessings you
But how do you earn so much in a month? By sharing your thoughts?
Thanks to Laura Walsh Morgan.
Really feel your pain, when I was even almost down my God sent to me Laura Walsh Morgan services cryp to me and changed the game automatically
I've always wanted to be involved for a long time but the volatility in the price has been very confusing to me. Although I have watched a lot of TH-cam videos about it but I still find it hard to understand.
That in him there’s peace when in the world there’s trouble but take heart I have overcome the world. John 16:33
God wants me to become fully a servant of his. Priority to him is important because he is prominent. Wow! Never knew that scripture you were doing for this video at the beginning, but that verse has been haunting me for months and I honestly can’t thank him
Enough for it, I’ve been through a lot since I can remember but he has been giving me peace. I have no words really but continue despite this life of sin and me being a distraction from him at times I know I need to continue to give him my all. He never hesitates to give me his.
This was an amazing video. This year our family buried five family members one of them was my little brother. On the day of my brothers passing I performed CPR. The CPR kept him alive long enough to get him to the hospital where he passed. I have been battling depression and suicidal ideation ever since. This morning I felt led to listen to a sermon and your video was the first video to show up in my feed. Thank you for your obedience and your words of wisdom❤. Have a blessed new year.
I learned that God is my protector.
Phew yes!
What I’ve learnt is that in order to receive the best of what God has for you, you have to step into a level of faith and obedience that doesn’t make sense and is very difficult. Though we know that God will follow through on His promise and the suffering has a purpose, it’s crazy how much we fight against it!
Thank you so much for all your words of wisdom Melody, I truly appreciate you♥️ God Bless You & Your Family x
What I learned from God is that He does not work alone. He has the power to.do everything but He needs/wants our faith in Him to accomplish some actions. He does not.force is into doing anything but our faith is important to Him. I am learning to surrender to Him again. To God be the glory!!!
God hears our cries.
I love the way He does things - love HIM💙👑
I really enjoy listening to you. Your voice is soothing, and the way you explain the word I simple and not preachy with error. You break it down from its original Hebrew text. Thank you❤
I have learned that God will see me through. No matter the situation, He will see me through♥️
Long suffering is a fruit of the spirit 🙌🏾
I learn in 2024 that God is faithful and he loves his children enough to discipline us and prepare us for his best
Your videos have been encouraging me deeply as I’ve finally built the courage to leave my narcissistic husband of 10 years. We have a 5 year old and he’s doing all he can to keep our son from me and to tear me all the way down. From false smear campaigns to manipulating our son and everyone else, I’ve felt defeated so many times. But I’ve learned to actively work at forgiving him (daily), and submitting my will to the Lord. You have helped me so much. Thank you🙏🏾 Wishing you a very blessed New Year!!
This year I learned …no matter how far or lukewarm …I was God still showed up and blessed me tremendously 🙌🏿
I really appreciate your word, this definitely touched me in a great way. Everything you said is so true, and I will continue to apply those things to my journey with God and relationship with him. God bless you!!
I have learned what it means to abide with Jesus, Immanuel. I have greater assurance of His provision and nearness.
I needed this before the end of the year. Thank you Melody!
I have learned to stop trying to figure everything out on my own and let God take control of the things I cannot fix. This has eased my mind so much.
I learned that he is a provider and is with us!!!
What I have learnt this year is that God is always there even in the haed times..He is there for me and He is good
I just want to say thank you because I’ve been struggling with anxiety for the past few days. But especially today. And I know that when I watch any video on your channel, I’m immediately met with peace and calmness. So thank you for walking in assignment, because you and your content are so needed 🫶🏽
This year I learned God is a keeper!
Boom ! After you suffer a little while … wow needed this this morning
I've learnt that God is my protector,provider1 and strength and in my stillness He has moved and fought my battles ...Thank you Lord 🎉Great is your faoyhfulness
Faithfulness
Hey sis, something I learned from God this year: he keeps his promises, and he shows it to us at his own timing! No matter how hard you pray for instant confirmation he will not grant it to you at your own time because he knows best!
Yay 🎉 new video!
yesss!! final video for 2024 🥲🙌🏽
Thank you Melody for sharing God’s love this year on your channel. I’ve learned that God is truly faithful and with God’s power working in us, God can do much, much more than anything we can ask or imagine.-
Ephesians 3:20
Happy New Year! I’m glad that I stumbled on your page this year. Thank you for being obedient in sharing your wisdom with us. I for sure have received and heard so many things through your voice. God bless you and happy new year!
God is faithful. Always.
I think that God has reminded me or shown me in a new way that He is always there, in big or small ways.
