Andrew Peterson sings "Be Kind To Yourself"

[@robertlambert3044]

I play his original for the people that come to our mental health home for people contemplating suicide... It has had an amazing effect on our residents. Thank you Andrew. I think you have saved many lives with this song.

All Good things Come from God! He is Within us! 😊❤

[@betty-annevanrees7322]

You are one of the most beautiful humans I have had the privilege of learning from. Thank you for looking your struggles straight on and giving them language for the rest of us. You are a preacher poet. It has been valuable to God to let me see Him through your window.

I have listened to this song hundreds of times, I think. I have passed it on so many times. Thank you. God is using you. The same for your song Is He Worthy. I listen 4 to 6 times each time I listen. Your friend's words are so wise.

[@stephenshearer2989]

Oh man, I just discovered Andrew Peterson's music this morning during my devotional time. Thank You God for sending this amazing man of music and faith into my life.

[@robertowesley99]

You got all that emotion that's heaving like an ocean And you're drowning in a deep, dark well I can hear it in your voice that if you only had a choice You would rather be anyone else I love you just the way that you are I love the way He made your precious heart Be kind to yourself Be kind to yourself I know it's hard to hear it when that anger in your spirit Is pointed like an arrow at your chest When the voices in your mind are anything but kind And you can't believe your Father knows best I love you just the way that you are I love the way He's shaping your heart Be kind to yourself Be kind to yourself How does it end when the war that you're in Is just you against you against you Gotta learn to love, learn to love Learn to love your enemies too You can't expect to be perfect It's a fight you've gotta forfeit You belong to me whatever you do So lay down your weapon, darling Take a deep breath and believe that I love you Be kind to yourself Be kind to yourself Be kind to yourself Gotta learn to love, learn to love Learn to love your enemies Gotta learn to love, learn to love Learn to love your enemies too

[@eve_lou]

Thank you for writing it out!

[@robertowesley99]

@@eve_lou It's my pleasure! That's a beautiful and relief song.

[@1thomaja]

I have a 12 year old. I see exactly what Mr. Peterson said. It's TOUGH being that age. Ellie's self hatred breaks my heart. She's SO amazing!

[@Bobba_yogga]

Ive never cried this hard😣😭😫

[@Dan-ch8kv]

When my daughter goes from lashing out to lashing in, I describe it like she has a sword fighting the world, but then realizing she did wrong she turns the sword on herself. The Gospel says put the sword down, the battle is won. Let Jesus carry the sword and receive His unmerited love. He’s warring for your heart.

[@JoeyjojoShabadoo7]

Andrew - I have a really hard time believing that God loves me, too. For the few precious moments in what seems like a span of eternity where I somehow actually believe/know that He does, it’s so emotionally overwhelming…in a good way. I can’t wait until Heaven (hopefully!), where and when we will NEVER have to doubt that again 😢

[@eie_for_you]

WOW! I need this! Thank you. 🙂

[@davidfroman8281]

Andrew I totally resonate with your honesty. Thanks for your vulnerability and taking that and making a beautiful song out of it.

[@lmcmorris1211]

Yes, I remember "self hatred". But thank the Lord Jesus that there is true deliverance from that spirit.

[@kathryndz7654]

In case you missed it, his wife is awesome 😎 I'm sure that was not the first time she'd said those things to him, but it finally sunk in ❤️

[@melissasodjago9840]

Thank you so much Andrew. I am able to relate to your daughter and I really appreciate you sharing this song with the world!❤️

[@WilliamHollinger2019]

I am like this guy. I chase my own tail I really cried when someone like me who have this type depression and able to make this song with his depression.

[@wileytraylor5404]

So much truth here. Christ said we must love our neighbor as ourself. It seems logical to me that we must learn to love ourselves if we are to have any chance of fulfilling that commandment to love our neighbor as Christ wants.

[@welchd60]

Ouch! The truth hurts!

[@theophanie77]

Once more, this song is a jewel to honor God and His Word. This man of God brings peace to my soul. May God bless you Andrew P.

[@sbrown8937]

I love this song so much. As well, I love every one of those artists on that stage. They are ALL amazing!! What they bring to the Lord is so treasured. 💜✌🙏

[@majakawalio2631]

I sincerely laughed at this video... and thank you so much for this song and for sharing it it truly uplifts my soul! And thank you for this honesty about self-worship..

[@Mfgrgnjyrdcvbnj]

I use this in my own practice, too! Love all that you do, Andrew!

[@eve_lou]

I love you just the way that you are. I love the way he's shaping your heart. Be kind to yourself.

[@lainelorenzo9992]

I need to hear this today. Thank you! God used you to help me.

[@sbrown8937]

I love this. That's such a beautiful song and I get it, Andy. I feel much the same - actually the exact same way about myself at times. 💙✌️🙏

[@brendab2323]

W😱W...You look fantastic without that HUGE beard. I have watched your other video with you sitting @ the piano with your daughter a thousand times (because my pastor recommended it to me he told me to listen to it an think about my dad in every word) but I just now stumbled across this one. ♥️

[@mditt7]

wow some of the stuff he said hit me in the heart - ouch

[@h54h52]

An evangelical would perhaps say that what Andrew hears is the enemy of our souls using Andrew's own uncertainties/insecurities and repeating them over and over again to destroy his peace and joy as a child of God. It's a very common thing, but not everyone who thinks the same way as Andrew are as honest or as talented! 2 Corinthians 5:17 "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." As we grow in our faith the Holy Spirit helps us see ourselves as He sees us, and His love for us never changes.

Amen 🙏

[@kareengangell5791]

satan is always whispering the lies into our minds that God doesn't love us. but the death of Jesus on the cross proves beyond doubt, that Jesus LOVES us with an everlasting love. believe that fact with all your hearts. because it is TRUTH.. nothing can snatch us from Gods hands. not even death.
