“Even on the days when we can’t love ourself, He loves us first.” 💕

“Find your confidence in the cross” 🙌🏻😭

I am 12 but i turn 13 on the 21 of Feb, but your channel has really helped me, I will be forever grateful for God speaking through you and him saving me from self destruction.

"When you become confident in God, you become confident in yourself" yess!! This vid is a whole truth bomb and you have NO idea just how much you're speaking to me, God bless you sis 💕💕

thank you for speaking about this - there are so many cultural ideas spreading these days that seem harmless / innocent but they actually contradict God’s Word and even bringing us further away from Jesus bc we end up relying on our own strength 🥲

I love how you talked about confidence THROUGH God and not our own work-based accomplishments🤍🤍🤍

A lot of the self-help and self-love movement is extremely New Age and kinda glorifying humans

“The wisdom of the World is foolishness”.

Girl, I had the exact same realization. Since I struggled a lot with anxiety and the habit of negative thoughts, I thought that if I just put the world “on hold” for a few hours, and only took care of myself, that I would feel better. Did it work? Yes. Did I feel a lot more relaxed and rejuvenated? Also yes. Butttt... it did not last at all. I still struggled with the same old negative thoughts. My relationships still kept falling apart. I still did not feel content or happy deep down. And I also couldn’t put my finger on it, but that mindset just always convicted me and I felt like it wasn’t Gods best and most righteous way. The truth is, when we actually step away from these problems and spend time with Jesus, He always renews our mind. When we actually deal with the problem, even if that means it hurts us a little bit, when we think about others before ourselves, life will truly become joyful and worthwhile, and you will be able to react with gratitude even in your most hardest moments. Granted, I am not perfect at this but even in the little ways that I practice this, I have already seen a change and my oh my... God is sooo good for not allowing me to stumble into the world’s/my wisdom, but HIS. His truth, His voice is what we need. I know this world can get very overwhelming, but rest in God and He will give you the strength to overcome it all with LOVE FOR OTHERS. If we don’t consider others (even for a little bit), and we make it all about ourselves, will anyone help us when WE need something? Anyways, I’m so thankful that God gives me strength to do His will even when it’s so difficult, because ultimately, it’s worth it.

Great video. And I couldn’t agree more ! I am slightly ‘heavier’ than I am used to being before I gave my life to Christ- ironically enough more confident about myself now than I was as a size zero. This is a true gift from God. Too many years of placing my self worth in my weight & looks. So freeing!! Love God=Self Love 💞🎀

I can so relate to this. When I put God first into everything I do with my body is honoring the Lord. Most of my life I have been searching for self love, when I try, has quickly as it comes, it quickly leaves. This video came just at the right time. I was just talking about this with my husband today. And this video just concreted what the lord is changing in my life.

Just relaying on me self has disappointed me sooo many times. Love you guys and don't make same mistake as I done. We can just relay on Our God Almighty.

Stas, this is such a stunning thumbnail 😍😍

You look so beautiful, idk if it's the makeup or the blush pink top or just the glow of Jesus, but dang, girl! And good stuff here. Our joy is found in fixing on something much greater than ourselves and remembering it's all unto His glory 🌈🌟✨ hearing from different guys I'm pretty and getting affirmation from others, and focus on myself, only gets old, empty, and dry. Jesus is a never ending current of truth and love and life and is the One who fills our souls entirely!

Great video! ☺️ There is a book called „You‘re not enough and that’s ok“ by Allie Beth Stuckey, and it talks exactly about what you described in this video.

Yesss I 100% agree!! I was never able to love myself until I fully recognised that God loved me first and he created me in his image❤️

Yessss focusing on my faith in a bigger way this year has been soooo powerful and it’s been more healing for me than self-care or self-love. 🙏🏽❤️

I really appreciate this, Because Holy Spirit really started talking to me about this very concept about a year ago, When we give our life to Jesus, it is not our own anymore, ALL GLORY AND HONOR go to Jesus. We are not called to do what makes us “happy” we are called to do what Glorifies God, Joy is a fruit of the spirit and from obedience and honoring God you get to take that joy! Pride is a big issues with the self love trend, I learned I can’t love myself to wholeness, Jesus is the only being that could and can and still continues to love me to wholeness! Really loved this video please keep em coming!

I decided last month to focus all of my time and energy on God and being in his presence 24/7 and it has been such a deliverance. I feel so close to Jesus and I have had so much joy and peace. I found myself being a selfish mother and wife when I focused on “self-love” things and you’re right it didn’t do much for me. It made me more selfish. I’m glad the Holy Spirit opened my eyes and showed me that all I need is Jesus and He will rejuvenate me. That’s the best “self-love”, when we focus on Jesus.

I AGREE 100%!! Some Christians do this and I’ve never really understood why... I hope more and more people see this video because it’s so much truth! Thank you for making this ❤️❤️

“We don’t deserve the best” hit me like a punch in the face. In a good way❤️

I absolutely love it, “We as sinners don’t deserve the best, but with God we get the best” that is beautiful🤍✝️

Yeah I fell like it’s about worshipping yourself and that’s not a way for true love❤️great video❤️❤️🙌🏻

I’m so glad you put this out there! I’ve always felt weird w that movement too and thought I was a bad person for that! I’ve never taken part in this movement but I still have confidence in myself. And that is bc of the Lord! The Lord will give you confidence and love for yourself if you let him!

I also want to recommend that a good way to enjoy nature is to go on drives to lakes, oceans, state parks, mountains, etc. It is very easy for me to enjoy God's creation driving in any rural area. (and to enjoy that He made materials that He allows us to use to deal with the insanity of urban areas as well)

I’m only a few seconds into this video but I had to say, you look SO good in this 😍 that shade of pink is definitely your color!! 🥰

This world is teaching us to make idols of ourselves. It is teaching us that we are what is most important and that anything and everything that makes us feel good is okay. Yet, if we take a split second to stop and look at the condition of the world around us, it's pretty easy to see it's not working. We weren't meant to serve ourselves, we were meant to serve God. I would be willing to bet that doing something nice for someone else would lift our mood much more than any self-care routine.

Dale Partridge spoke on the Self-Love delusion and I highly recommend you listen to it! His podcast on Spotify is called "Real Christianity".

I agree with this so much, it’s very hard to love yourself when the lord is the one who made us and created us the first place, he’s one the that gives us confidence in ourself and it’s not to shade any self love movement but it does take the place of God, everything in this world is just “me” that’s horrible mindset, I have always struggle with confidence and self esteem since I was in middle school cuz being bullied in school until I met God, it wasn’t over night thing where I was confident but everyday God points me out to the truth who I’am and gives me that identity cuz is not easy journey but God is so good that he’s shows me the true queen i’am. Great video 🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️❤️❤️💞💞💞

Such a great perspective. Definitely been trying to follow the self love and hustle movement since 2019, and still I feel incomplete. Yes, it’s nice to feel accomplished but it’s never enough. Godfidence is so much more fulfilling long term. My worth is determined by Him, not the world or my self.

Jesus lives in our hearts. He loves us unconditionally so, yes it is ok to love yourself as He does. in showing yourself love you are loving Jesus.

Thank you SO MUCH for this video!! I've been wanting to make a video on "A Christian's View of Self-love" for my faith channel (Lyss & Bri), but couldn't articulate my thoughts clearly! You handled this tough topic so beautifully 🥰

I can't begin to say enough, how much I loved this.

Thank you for this video! What a reminder that I can’t rely on my own efforts or works but in Christ alone ❤️🤍

I have done and follow the self-love technique and it did not helped me at all. Thank you for your reminder that God allowed Jesus to live on Earth and died on the cross for my sins because He loves me too much. I struggled with seeing the perspective of what is love and God has definitely taught me and opened my eyes about love through His Scripture and through others. I have struggled and pushed love away for several years and God has been so amazing to me. Who He is and what He did for me is something I will never understand but I am FOREVER grateful for. I have been reading my Bible and praying and talking to Him every day and there hasn’t been a time where I didn’t feel any peace once I was done. I’m trying not to make it as a checklist because I really want to fully feel His love for me.

Thank you for sharing about this! I’ve felt convicted about this topic for a while... and felt a bit iffy/weird about the self love movement and that it didn’t feel aligned with scripture and where I stand so thank you for addressing it girl and what God has been speaking into you ❤️

Literally one of my favorite videos I’ve ever watched. Thank you for spreading this real message about our Lord and not this worldly garbage us woman get told.

I love your heart for the Lord. Thank you for sharing it. I find that the more I focus on His Word and character instead of difficulties it helps so much in my mindset.🥰

You are such a blessing! Your videos have helped me sooo much! Praying for you and sending lots of love 💖

I for one, really like THOSE videos...all about God. That's what I love about your videos!! And of course just who you are I also enjoy :)

Yes it's a ME ME ME culture, me myself and I. And it's sad cause the Bible says first seek the Kingdom of God.... And I can do anything THROUGH God who strengthens me. So as a christian we should shift and keep our focus on God not us. We should do EVERYTHING for HIS glory. 1 Cor 10:31

This is sooo good! Thank you for sharing. More people need to hear this!! 💕

What’s crazy is that for a little bit I was so confused on the subject that I’m suppose to love myself because everyone is saying I’m suppose to love myself. And I felt a little guilt because again I was making it about me and then I would get confused in thinking, maybe I am suppose to love myself but I’m trying to learn to not make things about me and more about God and this video literally just cleared up some thoughts and doubts I had. Thank you for this. Society unfortunately is such an influenced and I’m trying my best to wing away from all of that.

This was so good. I had to go back and rewatch it. :) Tysm!

Hallelujah!! Praise God! So good girl!! Love you sister in Christ! God is soo good! Thank you for stepping out in faith and putting all your videos up. God bless you Girl!

I've been needing this ❤️✝️

Wow I needed this! 💚🙌🏻 thank you!!

This is honestly such a beautiful video. I love your perspective 💜

Exactly!! This was genuinely so relaxing to listen to and watch 🥰

How do you always come in here sayin my exact thoughts!!! My goodness like always on the same page. I cringe everytime I even hear the phrase “self love” 🥴

so excited!! 🎊

Amen! Such a great video Nastasia! ❤️

Self-love doesn't mean avoid pain. It means to accept you are a work in progress, and to give yourself as much patience, kindness, and compassion as you would anyone else. Love comes from within. Call it whatever you want, but the Spirit lives within, and if you love God, then love the temple he built as his vessel.

We can't force people to value us. We try extremely hard to and we don't succeed and sometimes we force it blindy. What you can do is show them how you love because the Creator first loved us. So live as some (already) valued by the Creator. ♥️❤️

Omg I love your makeup in this video girl

I love it!!!! I love you moreee💗 just two words: Thank you for your encouraging and uplifting channel

Dear Nastasia, this video is sooooooo soooooo good! ♡♡♡ Loved everything about it, literally fell in love. Thank you so much for your ministry! Praise God!

This was so awesome and thorough. Thank you so much! I needed to hear this 💛💛💛💛

thankyou for this video!💛✨🙌🏻

This is so amazing and soooo rare to see someone speak out as a Christian about this topic! Thank you for the breath of fresh air 💓

Wow, preach sister! This video is amazing and thank you for sharing your thoughts on this. I love your honesty and real ness, keep on preaching Gods truth!

This is so encouraging! Thanks lovely ❤️

I related to this so much! God literally showed me all these things this year! Loved it :)

Stellar video and message. I thought I was alone in loathing this movement and it's vainglorious message. A little perspective goes a long way!

Love your neighbour as thy self , Thats how much God wants us to love others I pray He gives me a heart to love others so I can love my neighbour the way He wants me to then I believe I will love myself the way He wants me to love myself God is so good he is the best teacher and Father a person will ever have . What the enemy intended for bad God intended for good .

Thank you for this video! 🙏🏼😭💖

Love it thank you for this it truly goes hand and hand in what I believe and think so I truly thank you for being a KZfaqr that's speaks the truth that many are afraid to say or may not think. Thank you subbed and hit the notification bell

Great video!

I found this video today and I subscribed to your channel! 🙌🏻

God bless you this was REALLY helpful !

Didnt even know I needed to see this. But I am sooo glad I did. Thanks

i really enjoyed this video! Thank you

Self love just makes people selfish. Only finding Christ and Him giving us love for others as a result works.

oh my gosh I love your editing

I’m in my 40s and wish I was aware of this message years ago (although it’s never too late). Thanks for imparting this wisdom ❤

I really love your message in this video! Thank you for inspiring me today. 💖💜 Have a blessed week. -Renée

The truest form of self love is Submission to God. True self love as Christians must be practiced. Self love: following God’s instructions, taking care of others and taking care of ourself so we can do both of those things aswell. Eg. Eating well, exercising, hygiene all so we can help others as God has helped us. However, helping and loving others is indirectly helping and loving ourselves.

I needed this

THANK you for this

I believe this idea of self love came about people wanting to place their identity in other things outside of the world and secular people thought the best option would be to place it in themselves. We're taught "you can't trust anyone but you" but that is a big lie. We are not strong enough to hold ourselves up against the evils of this world. I asked an atheist acquaintance once who do they rely on when things go bad? Who do they go to when all else fails? And they said "myself", so I asked who do they go to if they fail too? And they had no answer.

such a good video!!👏💕

Wow truthfully this was something that I was doing truthfully when walking with God your eyes start seeing the real 🙌🙌🙌 GLORY TO HIM YAWEH

Love love love the video

I love your channel. God is so good!

thank u so so much for this! Jesus spoke to me through this

Yes. You are speaking straight facts.

i appreciate this video, bc i myself am looking to start a self care/love blog. i am also a believer, so i want to incorporate that into the content i write. your perspective has opened my eyes a little on how i can incorporate both

I agree 100% !

Great video and what an great thumbnail

Thank you sister in Christ 🤗

Amen thank you thank you thank you!! He is the solution!!

Soooo good ❤️

just a little thing but one of the main things about self love is loving yourself even when you do nothing! Not based on works like the video mentioned :/ Its just accepting yourself instead of hating yourself ;-; and it will fail as long as your motivation for self love is external and not internal ! I do get the point tho

I looooove ur point of view. It’s so much God centered!!✝️ I realised it when I watched the santa’s video. Keep Going!

I feel like acknowledging God is what self love is. Eating healthy, watching the sunset and admiring God's work, that is self love, and He wants that for us. We need to work to maintain that. It is the *only* way to enjoy life and to feel joy. We were meant to enjoy things. Self-confidence only comes from using properly what has been given to us by God and using them for their intended use. And I feel like people mistake self love for doing things that seem right to them. When in reality, we humans are so complex that we have no idea what is actually best for us. The only true way to self-love is acknowledging God and living according to his word. So in reality, what people think is self love, can actually be harmful to them and not actually what they think it is. They might think they're pursuing truth but it will actually work to their detriment. They simply just don't know. They just don't know that God genuinely wants us to be happy, feel joy, have self confidence, etc. Just, the road to getting there is tricky and very unobvious. I feel like loving myself is what naturally ensues when I live in truth, accepting how I feel, accepting that every outcome of every single thing I say and do is right regardless of the consequence, only because I did it for the sake of truth, aka, Jesus. I think true self love feels different than people think it is, but it really feels better than anyone could ever imagine.

On the same boat as you Nastasia. Thank you for the encouragement. Jesus is the only way. 🙏🏽❤️

Totally agree with you. We need to be discerning because the devil doesn’t need to destroy us - he just needs to distract us! I also make faith KZfaq videos and so excited to be apart of a community like this. Building the kingdom! 🙏

Faith in God equals faith in yourself because we are made in Gods image! Love the video! Tiffany Bopp directed me to you. Love the content! Liked and subbed!

This is such a great perspective, thanks so much for sharing with others! I’m glad God put this on your heart to share 🧡 before I found Jesus, I was heavy into the self love and new age movement, but thankfully He saved me. There is such an emptiness from trying to fulfill yourself through the world and I hope this message reaches more people 🧡

Love your perspective and that you talk about making Jesus apart of our day.
