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🧡

“Discontentment leads to idolatry” - I felt that!

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.

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✨😭

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.

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!

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!

This touched me personally- praise God! Yes count your blessings 😌

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.

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.”

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!

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 ✝️

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

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.

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.

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.

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. 💕

Love seeing young folks with a passion for a relationship with our dad.

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! 💛

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.

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!!! 🙌❤

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. 💕

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.

We are sisters in Christ🥺🥺❤thank you for all that encouragement!

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 💚

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.❤️

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

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! 🙌

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.

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!!

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. ❤️

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!

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!

7:46 this makes the line “He is jealous for me, love like a hurricane I am a tree, bending beneath weight and wind of His mercy.” From the song How He loves us

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.

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...

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.

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

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 🥺🥺🥺🤍🤍🤍

Thank you Jesus

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. 💛

Wow! Thank you for the loving rebuke. You guys ❤️❤️❤️

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 🙏🏾💚

One of your guys best videos. Thanks for sharing -Aubriel

Amen! Thank you!

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 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. ♥️

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❤️

Wow just wow felt like I need to click this vid so glad I did thank you and thank you Jesus

Trying to find my worth in people or a crush who is not after Jesus, this verse is helping me Psalm 1:1. Which says, “Blessed is the man that walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the way of sinners, not sits in the seat of the scornful”. ❤😊

Thank you so much.i struggle with discontentment at times.so thank you for your words.God Bless you

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💕

Só sweet and truly words! God bless 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!! ❤️

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.💕

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

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) 🙌🕊

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!

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 🙏🔥

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

Amen

Preach it Taylor! You go girl! God bless you

Oh my you two are beautiful outside and inside!

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 .

Thank you!!! This has helped me a lot!! God bless you❤️

Amen sister 🙌

Amen, Taylor! You are blessed🙏🌸

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!!

Hey everyone! I know I’m a day late 🥴 but a verse that really helps me when I feel discontent or am walking through something hard is 1 Peter 5:9 - it’s says “resist him (him being satan), stand fast in faith, knowing that same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world” Jesus always bring that to my mind to help me remember that I’m not the only struggling with whatever it is at that moment. We are all experiencing hardship in one form or another. So you’re not alone whoever you are reading this comment. I’m with you! The girls are with you! Most importantly God is with you!

How much I love these videos! God bless u

God bless you❤️

I love this! This is exactly what so many girls struggle with. Thank you for your honesty.

I really needed to hear this. Thank you Taylor and Ashley!

I’m struggling with that, in the area of relationships too even in finding Godly friends, accountable friends.😩

I needed to hear this today!💛

This encouraged me so much!

You guys are just such cool people♥️

Thank you so much for this video❤

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!

Love is a very important aspect of life. “Faith, Hope, Love, but the greatest of these is love.” With love we can save souls, change lives, and prevent evil from causing harm. A part of love is forgiveness and all the fruits of the spirit are aspects of love. Try love, it heals. Amen.

This just came at the perfect time 💖

Oh, this is wonderful! ♥️

Thank you Jesus I needed to hear this 🙌🏿 It blessed my soul💗💗 God bless you ladies 🤗

I love yall both!! I'm 45 and learn so much from yall channel!!

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! 💖💖

This is powerful, the message. Thankyou for sharing.

Congratulations!!!! So happy for you both!

This was so timely for me! Thanks for posting:)

You and your sister are so adorable🥰. I love you guys🇿🇦

Thank you so much Taylor and Ashley for this amazing video, I really needed to hear this message/ reminder! 🤗🙏🏾 Romans 8:27-28❤ KJV 27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. 28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

Amen Thanks Taylor I am so grateful for this word today!

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! I’m so happy about your channel. Stay Bless/Safe😊

This video was so so touching ❤️❤️

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 needed to hear this! Thank you for sharing💕

Thank you this was needed for the end of my week amen 🙌🏼🙏🏼💖

I love the videos y'all post.they really help me

This was such an awesome teaching and the second on discontentment for my day. Wow. I needed this but I didn’t know how much. Thank you.
