If You Struggle with Self Hatred as a Christian…

[@toferg.8264]

It’s a relief to me to hear a Christian publicly acknowledge the existence of self-hatred.

[@IdiOtt-uv8oq]

@@Orlando-is-Here Hey, ik this is offtopic but can u make a video about how to manage suppressed emotions as a Christian? I have these deep rooted anger issues but for years I have suppressed it in order to not get punished by my family. I wonder if as a christian I should be letting out my anger onto others in order to get it out of my chest or I should remain to suppress it in order to be a good christian. What are your thoughts?

[@Orlando-is-Here]

Hey man, I’ll pray and think about making a video as my thoughts get more fleshed out on this but I’ll share with you my initial thoughts, although take ‘em with a grain of salt. Firstly, I’m sorry that your family put you in an environment that caused you to suppress emotions, that’s gotta be really frustrating. The first option is rough because it definitely feels good, but we put unnecessary burden on and anger on people that don’t deserve it, and even if they do, God called us to love others and forgive right? The second option of suppression is unfair to you. Why should you have to bottle emotions down and hide that part of yourself because other people treated you bad? And also suppression in general can cause us to have the emotions come out in subconscious ways we cannot control. I remember I was pretty wrapped up in anger and cynicism, and I tried to hide them because I thought a good Christian wouldn’t feel that way. And Gold told me that he was my father, and that he was there for me. So I let it out on God in a sense. I shared my anger with people the world and God too (even though obviously I was wrong) and he forgave me because he’s infinitely loving and because I was vulnerable with him he was able to shape my heart so the emotions would dissipate and there was nothing to suppress anymore. It’s kind of like Jacob wrestling with the angel. Sometimes in our frustration you need to wrestle with God and LOSE, and as you lose he shapes you and changes the root of your heart. I hope that makes sense?

[@IdiOtt-uv8oq]

@@Orlando-is-Here Yeah, that helps a ton bro. Although I still struggle with this, I will keep your comment in mind. Thanks man! If there r other solutions to this, lmk or make a video bout it, I will def watch it

Hating myself is a prideful thing, like am saying i know my self more than God. 😮😮 This is the most eye opening thing ever

[@Ready-ForTheEnd]

Amazing way to flip it back on the person and blame them for their self hate. As always with Christians the best advice they can give is "it's your fault. You're the problem."

[@natiusjoshua55]

​@@Ready-ForTheEndlet me testify to you: i hate the works of my flesh. the Bible and the law of God has been an eye-opener for me regarding the truth of the works of the flesh, and ever since i kept dwelling on the Words of God i've been set free from causing bad things to my parents, my gf, and even other people because of my past massive pornography addiction. the misconception is that we thought we're told to hate our existence, in which nowhere in the Bible we're told do so. our life can contain the thoughts of the Lord which can prevent us from harming ourselves and others: which comes from the flesh. so no, hating the flesh is not the same as hating yourself, and if you feel blamed that's because you think you're being judged, when the truth is God is not judging you, but to make you understand what will endanger you.

[@SyoDraws]

​@@Ready-ForTheEnd thats not the only thing he said Rather it is merely one part of the entire video. The point of the video is not to convince the viewer that self hate is a moral failing.

As a self-hater, I thank you for this video. I see absolutely no reason to love myself other than the fact that Jesus washed away my sins and made me righteous before Him.

@karenmazzu I’m on the path of a long, painful, sinful and lonely life. Then God will say, “you rejected my love” and I’ll be in hell for eternity.

Did you all see and know that we are the generation that SHALL see His second coming? In fact within maximum 5 years....probably even THIS year?! Search...and YOU SHALL SEE. The day that the land/nation shall be born in a day THAT generation shall NOT pass away till all things SHALL be fulfilled. Israel was born in a day in 1948. A generation is 70 years or 80 years if it is an strong generation according to the psalms. 1948+70=2018. 1948+80=2028. So let's say...maximum 5 years is allready beyond biblical scriptural calculation. Look up,y/our redemption is getting really really really nigh... ✝️📖🙏🕊🫂❤️

[@pcdeltalink036]

I have an encounter with God that happened not too long ago related to this topic. After failing once again to one of my primary sin areas I remember feeling very disgusted with myself. I was praying to God and basically said how I knew I was a lousy Christian and that he should just trade me in for someone better. Then these words came to my mind. "Tell me, if you had a child and they made a mistake would you somehow consider "trading them in" for a newer model? So to speak." Even not having kids I could immediately answer "No, I could never do that. They are still my child." Then the next words I got were "Neither will God do the same to you." I was comforted but a bit stunned at how much that answer calmed me down. I didn't realize it had been God speaking until I was going back over the encounter in my head a few hours later and realized "Wait...those thoughts weren't from me...oh my gosh!"

Self Hatred has crippled me and unfortunately my relationship with Jesus. I pray that I overcome this, this has been the biggest thing that I have been struggling with. It’s hard for me to personally accept God’s unconditional love. I had to finally admit to myself, I choose to believe the lies of the enemy instead of God‘s truth, and what he says about me. Realizing that I’m so prideful and feeling ashamed of that, keeps me in this awful cycle. Lord Jesus, I want to believe; Help my unbelief!

Thank you so much for this video. Just before, I was crying out to God, apologizing because I suck and can't do anything right. God brought me to this channel and I watched two of your videos. Those really helped calm my sprit even further after prayer. Remembering that God loved me, chose me and cleansed me - despite knowing my iniquities - shows His graceful love. Who am I to call myself unclean or common after what God did for me? Also I came across Zechariah 4: 10: "Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin [...]". This also helped me a lot. Glory to God Almighty.

I struggled with unforgiveness and self hatred for years. The Lord recently delivered me from that. It’s pride because we are saying that God made a mistake when he made us because we’re so awful. The Lord’s work is perfect and we were made in His image to reflect His glory. We are perfect in Christ and that’s what the Lord sees when he looks at us. He sees His children whom he loves so much that He gave up His thrown in heaven to come down to earth and die for so they may live in eternity with Him. We are highly cherished by our Heavenly Father. Thank you Jesus giving me worth in your eyes and for loving me despite my imperfections.

Powerful video! Thank you! Especially for me on the self judgement and judgement of others. "Hey, they're my creations too!" Powerful. " I ask God to teach me how He feels about them, God tell me your favorite part about this person, God tell me what it was like when you were making them and designing them, tell me how much you Love them" Really needed to hear this message and wisdom tonight. It's shifted my mind back on track, the battlefield of the mind, it's a daily struggle against "the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." (Ephesians 6:12)

[@AndroxineVortex]

Thank you so much for this. I've lived for so long with constant anxiety and falling into seriously dark and deep depressions to the point where I question if it's even possible for God to love me and if I should just end myself. I'm starting to trust God and believe His words that He's for me and not against me. I am so weak and all I have is a mustard seed sized faith, but Jesus says that's enough. If you are struggling with self hatred and having dark thoughts, please get good biblical counseling. God is greater than your fear and depression! Trust in the name of Jesus. Peace be with you

He gave me ONE talent (as far as I know) and even then I managed to not be able to make something out of it. I have been playing the horn for 4 months now...I am not improving at it at all. One talent, and I even then I cannot make it grow. I have disappointed God and all Christianity due to my lack of music skills. Now, I am a burden to the Kingdom of Heaven. And nothing good will come out of me anymore. I was forced by my parents to study tourism and prevented from studying music until four months ago.

Maybe a lot of the self-hatred stems from your beliefs. You will always be damaged in his eyes. Being commanded to love him, lest you want eternal torture. With a friend like that, who needs enemies.

[@gmac8586]

"You will always be damaged in his eyes." That is a lie. If you believe this, you don't know scripture. Isaiah 44:22, 2 Cor 5:17, Rev21:5. If you think you're perfect, good luck in convincing yourself. You can't hide from yourself forever. 1 John 1:8-9. Just look at the world! If you believe it's good and headed in the right direction, then go for it. When I look at the sad state of the world, it just proves to me even more that the Bible is Truth. We are commanded to love God for our own good. Being without God is torture, but we put ourselves there, not God. He gives us free will and respects our choice us if we reject him. Rejecting him is rejecting everything good and life itself. That's hell. We cannot be with a Holy God without being born again. That's why Jesus came. John 3:16.
