If you're struggling with body image | christian girl advice

[@kjm-xn7yc]

I'm 14 and really needed to hear this. The last few days I've been dealing with horrible acne and obsessing over how i look and believing the lies that I'm not pretty enough. Thank you Jesus that I came across this video ❤

girl same! i'm 14 too and i have struggled with body image for so long 😭😭

[@adalinemcdowell6253]

Jesus knows us. Intimately. He knows when we sit and when we rise, He knows what we think about. What we desire. What we think we can’t tell Him, or ask Him for because we think it’s too small or too big. He knows all of that. He meets us where we’re at. He is magnetically attractive to suffering, because I believe when we suffer our hearts cry out for someone to love us. Jesus loves you more than anyone else. He loves me more than anyway else. I’m in a season of realizing how much He knows me. It’s beautiful💗

[@adalinemcdowell6253]

God is so sweet because He knew I needed this today. Recently I've been feeling very insecure about how face looks, feeling like I'm not pretty. But with this video God has reminded me that He says I am beautiful, made in His image. We're all beautiful, because we are made in the image of God. Everything God makes is perfect, and that includes how we look :) Thank you so much, Ashley, for posting this video :)

I am amazed and humbled at the fact that I have a beautiful young lady in her 20s that is ministering to me! Thank you for your ministry here on KZbin! I’m almost a little ashamed that for the amount of years I’ve been walking with God that I haven’t had the confidence to minister to other girls the way you do! You are a blessing and an encouragement to me, keep doing you! 💕

So I couldn't think of anywhere else to put this comment. I've been watching you for a while and I will say that your videos help me A LOT as a Christian teen. I used to be the shy one but now it's like I'm walking down the halls of a wicked high school showing my love for Jesus and preaching his word like I never ever thought I could have. But anyway the true point of this comment is to say that, I just went and bought your book "The Joy of the In-Between" and I haven't made it through the first 3 pages and let's just say, YOU'RE AMAZING. I love it. I love how down to earth you are in all situations whether it's on KZbin or in your book. I just wanted to say Thank You so much!

I’ve been checking the scale like everyday. And I don’t think I’m big at all, but I just feel like it. So thank you so much for this, I hope you the best Ashley!

[@Hazel.rayn946]

He is guiding me in the path to freedom! I’ve struggled with a mild (maybe it was more intense than I remember, idk rose colored glass) eating disorder around the age of 14-16and I consistently worked out, and I would work until and after I felt that grumble in my stomach, because I felt like in some weird way, my stomach was getting smaller then. I would nitpick my body, and seeing everybody with flat stomachs and abs online it made me more self-aware that I didn’t look like that. My relationship with food was rocky since I didn’t feed myself enough (I still ate, but trained myself to only have a small portion every time). After a while I was watching Alivia D’andrea’s ‘glow up diaries’ series and it chronicled a version of myself that I saw in her- she continued the diaries as a recovery series as it was an ed in disguise. I learned that food is fuel and it’s supposed to be enjoyed. But I’ve found myself falling into the other ditch and not paying attention to my temple at all. I’m going to be 20 in 3 weeks and satan is trying to wedge the ed back in my life. In Jesus name, he has no hold on me. So I thank you for letting God speak through you, Ashley❤ I was crying the whole video

[@Laurenjohnston243]

What advice would you have for that fourteen year old struggling with a possibly mild ed

[@Hazel.rayn946]

@ I would say that her body is a temple. It’s the dwelling place of the Holy Spirit that lives inside of you. Starving yourself is never the answer and neither is overeating. God wants us to be balanced. God wants what is good for us, and we often have a different plan than God does, which is why it’s so important to be praying and align our will with the Father’s. Sometimes it’s hard to pinpoint the ed. Ask God to tear down the walls of ideas you’ve built for yourself, and for him to show you what healthy looks like in His eyes. And he’ll bring things to your attention. He’ll bring people or videos into your life as your answer. It’s then up to you to keep rebuking any plan of the devil. (Psalm 18:6 is my favorite verse. “But in my distress I cried out to the Lord, and he heard me from His holy sanctuary. My cry to Him reached His ears.❤️) love you, girly! Devil ain’t got no hold on us

[@Laurenjohnston243]

@ thank you. I feel really guilty when I starve myself or do other things bc im not listening to God but i feel just as bad when i do eat so it can be really hard. Recovery seems a lot more doable when i hear other people’s stories.

[@Hazel.rayn946]

I’m a young 22 year old fighting alcohol addiction , disordered eating , body dysmorphia, self hatred when I look in the mirror I was getting obsessed to with food and body image ! I realized God is going to help me with these things I was scared because I’m poor and grocery shopping makes me panicky but God supplies I have to pray over my meals , pray before I walk in a grocery store PRAY PRAY PRAY !!

[@Miss._.Purple]

Amen!! 🙏 Remember to always pray to Lord Jesus Christ, God The Father, and Holy Spirit for advice/guidance and to talk!! Praise The Lord Your God!! Amen!! 🙏❤️ The Lord Your God will never make you bite off more than you can chew!! You have to get through the storm before you can get to the house. Here is a Bible Verse I think you should see: Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV): “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” There will be rough seasons but The Lord Your God has a wonderful plan for your life, just keep trusting and relying in Him and if you ever struggle you can say, “Lord I believe, help me with my unbelief” this was what someone said in The Bible, Mark 9:24 (ESV): “Immediately the father of the child cried out and said, ‘I believe; help my unbelief!’” Praise The Lord Your God!! Amen!! 🙏☺️

[@lgrace0423]

not really related to food but this year God convicted me about wearing makeup all the time. without it I always felt unsatisfied with my appearance. I was always bound by anxiety and couldn’t even leave the house without doing it. I fasted from it for two weeks, which eventually turned into a month before I started realizing I didn’t always need it, and I actually started to look in the mirror with a smile! Not only my face, but I also started being thankful for everything else about my appearance. Now i’m a different person and have learned to accept my uniqueness and I only wear makeup occasionally. I know that God may not convict everyone on this but it definitely is important to love ourselves the way God designed us and not fake an appearance! ❤

[@saris_2194]

Felt this ❤

[@elisabethb4211]

i literally felt this because i went through the same thing!! i was wearing like a full face of makeup like foundation all of it because i didn’t like the way my face looked because i used to have a lot of acne and dark spots on my face. then i felt convicted about it because i was basically like just saying i didn’t like the way God made me and so i took a break from it for a week, and it was so hard i felt very insecure about myself, but then it turned into a few weeks and i noticed all the pimples and dark spots on my face start to go away! God is so good he delivered me from this and i didn’t even realize how bad it got! God loves you all and have a blessed day 🩵

[@jaynemim9194]

I'm not using makeup but can't be okay with myself most of the time :/ I can go out normally, don't feel anxiety to not use it but i struggle to feel beautiful, occasionally I stop in the front of the mirror thinking that I would be better with it I'm with dark circles and my skin is really acneic. I have a lot of blackheads and acne scars and it just makes me so insecure about my appearance

[@lgrace0423]

@@elisabethb4211 I didn’t mention it but I also struggle with acne and blemishes! It was also a big part of why I wasn’t happy with my face. I too felt bad about covering it up, it was just what I felt convicted about. God wanted me to embrace everything, even the scars. It’s nice to hear you had a similar experience ❤️❤️

[@lgrace0423]

@@jaynemim9194 Yes I too struggle with that often still :( The past two years have been weird because I suddenly started dealing with an acne problem that I hadn’t had before. I don’t think I was doing anything wrong either. It just won’t go away. Something that really helped me though was remembering that God doesn’t focus on our outward appearance, and that isn’t where our worth comes from, either. It’s still hard, though :( I can’t wait until we will finally have blemish-free skin in heaven!!!

Thank you girl, this came at literally the perfect time. I’ve been struggling with my body and eating habits for a while now, and recently just got back into spending time with the Lord. I always felt guilty for these bad habits because I felt God was watching me, but I didn’t realize that what I was doing was idolizing my looks over my God. I never really understood how to get over these bad habits, but now I know that through praising the Lord, happiness will come after. The things of the world are only for a short time, but the Lord is consistent! Thank you Ashley.❤

[@BevIsrael]

I've missed you so much and your good vibes, Ash! Thank you for this video. ❤ I just thought to share the one thing I learned about self-worth, and it's this: trying to fix or love myself is actually still a form of self-reliance and self-control, and it's still pressure-inducing, and I didn't know that it was what's keeping me imprisoned. I'm personally performance-driven like you that's why I've always felt like it's my responsibility to fix myself and overcome my anxiety and insecurities, but the Lord so loves me that He rebuked me and removed the scales in my eyes. And what He revealed to me changed my life, and it's this: the way to find self-worth is to lose our self-worth and become selfless. The moment that we stopped to even think about ourselves, the moment we remove the focus on ourselves, stop thinking about what's good for us or what's not good for us, all these healthy lifestyles, all the need to be modest, to be fit, to be inspiring, about what we have to achieve, all these are good, but the moment we stopped pressuring ourselves to become all these, and instead have an outward outlook in life, a life that lives to bless others, a life that is willing to endure pain for others, to suffer for the Kingdom, it's when we truly find our worth. These are all good, but believe me that you don't need them, you don't need self-worth, self-worth is just a byproduct of loving, serving, and being one with Jesus. And He will give it to you when you've ripened in the season of self-death. God bless you!! I love you, sis in Christ!

Thank you Ashley 😊 For 4 years i have been struggling with Anorexia with multiple hospital visits and check ups at the doctors. Though i felt i was slowly getting better, i still wasn't happy with my looks and always starved myself and exercised excessively. Now, im ashamed that i have been getting back into my eating routine before meeting Jesus. I know people say i don't live there anymore, but it feels like the enemy is getting all up in my face and im tired of it. This year for 2025, with Jesus, I pray that i inspire people and encourage them to take care of their temples because of my testimony. Lol sorry this is a bit long 😭 have a good day!❤✝️

But instead, it's God. It's our Father who created us, it's His opinion and will that dictates what I am worth and how to feel about myself. It's His say that matters in the end, and if He says that I am beautifully and wonderfully made, then I am beautifully and wonderfully made.

God is leading me in freedom Amen 🙏 Ashley i really thank the lord for this video ‘cause i was struggling with my body image (Sorry if my English is not perfect, i’m a cameroonian and i speak French 😂😂) I’m actually 18 and it is very hard to Live a Christian’s student Life at University when most of the girls around me have beautiful curves, sexy outfits. But with this video i understood that it’s Jesus who decide of my weight size and most important i should live a sanctified life to reveal the beauty within me because my body is the temple of the Holy Spirit 🙏❤️

I NEVER tell myself I'm pretty. When I look in the mirror I see someone ugly and undeserving. And I'm SUPER insecure about my stomach and back area. I'm not FAT, I'm just not ✨snatched✨. I just feel like I've been tearing myself down and putting too much pressure on myself to be "perfect" or "beautiful" and I'm so tired of trying to change myself because some girls have "perfect" bodies, and I don't. I just have a different body. And, with God and your and my parents help, I'm learning to be okay with that. I also think that we see all these gorgeous girls with beautiful bodies getting the guys attention and being comfortable in bikinis and stuff and think that we don't have that because we're not as pretty as them. God is leading me to freedom!!!!!!

This is a message from God to me. Yes! I won’t deprive myself from eating my comfort food (oats with honey) because the body needs it to function and do the Lord’s work. Thank you!!! It’s too bad I ate my chocolate porridge earlier, I could’ve eaten it while watching this. 😭

[@xoxo_emgrace]

God is leading me too freedom thank you so much for this encouraging message 💞

[@AnnikaSimons]

This message is so vital. We need more in depth discussion of body image/eating/exercise through a Christ-centered lens in our faith. Coming from someone who has battled this for 7+ years, this is so reassuring and edifying. 🤍🤍

[@MoniquePipi]

Hi Ashley, I find it hard to fast sometimes. I love eating, I love food, but I know I need to fast and pray sometimes for certain situations and it's hard for me; I can't keep up the fast for long

[@chrissie5]

God is leading me to freedom. I didn’t know how many unhealthy habits I had around my body image, mirror checking, self-esteem etc. Praise Jesus for bringing me awareness to these habits so that we can work together to end them. Let’s embrace our freedom, brothers and sisters 💞

[@ashleyhetherington_]

AMEN!!! we are in this together!
