Living for God is HARD | Overcoming Rejection, Depression, & People-Pleasing

[@whywho8887]

I lost everything once I took a stand for my faith in Christ. Since then, I've been blessed to be able to find a new family around the world. Feed house and clothe others in need. I live a very simple life, but my needs are never in doubt. The harder the enemy tries, the more I know that my faith will carry me through. The darkest and most painful times are the greatest growing experiences in my life. The things we put into our bodies are what makes us, this includes the spirit and the mind . Feed yourself with good choices, both physical and spiritual . This world is not ours but the promise of an eternal life with our heavenly Father is waiting for us. Bless you all Dear Family 🙏💛

[@aubreynicolebanares1356]

I have also gone through a similar situation. And I felt worthless and I also had suicidal thoughts in my depression. I also have a people-pleasing tendency so it was very hard to deal with rejection and disappointment from my own mother because I am not out there in the world, climbing the ladders to success. I felt that I am the shame of the family. However I have learned to look to God for my value. And I have accepted that I can never fulfill their expectations of me, but I should worry about pleasing God and fixing my eyes toward heaven and eternity, and the battle ahead. So now I focus on building knowledge of God and building my spiritual strength and maturity.

Hi Leean, thank you for sharing your heart, I am Asian also and when Jesus asked me to make my decision to follow him, I knew that it would come at a cost. It will cost us everything family, friends, career, the world and everything that we ever knew. Just give it all to Jesus and allow him to make a way for you to exit the world matrix and give us strength to stand in our position in the Kingdom because we are now a new creation in Christ. Thanks again for sharing your worship moment with us, it really helped me with something that I am going through also. Lots of hugs and love from your sister in Christ! 💕🤗🥰🙏☺️ You are doing a great job and Jesus loves you and he is in the midst of your pain 💗💗💗💗

[@VictorNolochemical]

Im so sorry to learn this 😢😔 Faced many a similar dark moments like it - anger, resentment, inadequacy, betrayal. It’s okay to feel and it’s okay work through any emotion without shame or guilt. Use it all.. not to tolerate abuse, rather to strengthen your resilience through adversity. Strengthen your faith with the appearance of any trial. The aristocracy of merit doesn’t not equate to a “ successful life “, it’s actually the presence of true love and the quantity there of. 💛 May God Strengthen and shield Your hearts with perfect peace, may supernatural wisdom and favour flow through Your lives as freely as giggles, may happiness always introduce You into rooms you’ve never entered, in Jesus name Amen 💛💛💛

Ooh yes it is!! Thats why the Word says we are to press foward, persevere, and it also says we are amongst wolves.... The minute we are removed from the darkness it's a full on battle....but hey we stand firm, and we have authority through Christ Jesus and we know satan was defeated on the Cross...and we are to walk in Spirit, believe and have no fear! We are seated in heavenly places with Him... And if they hated him and persecuted Him what would make us immune from the same

Idk a lot about your family but there are support groups for dysfunctional dynamics that have helped me a lot as a Christian

[@Fstop313]

Man this video helped remind me what really matters again. Life is harsh but God loves us even when everyone else has forsaken us. We don’t need to please anyone but God.

[@col_Guile]

Davids family rejected him. He was alone tending those “few sheep” like his brother said when he insulted David. His father didnt even consider him a candidate for kingship when Samuel arrived at their home to anoint the new king. But in that rejection and in those moments alone God built the foundations of a relationship with David upon which greatness would lie. And the line through which Jesus would come. Work with the Spirit and he will use those pains to strengthen you and use your hurt not only to bless you but to bless others through you. ❤ (And to bless and convict the ones who hurt you which will blow up the devils plan of distraction and fostering enmity)

[@kiritokun-2078]

Sorry you feel this way 😞. But I’ve had dreams where I had a conversation with the devil himself, my dreams are quite lucid so I know the truth, he showed me that he was the one behind all my depression and problems and I called him out for who he is.. remember there’s evil everywhere and don’t let others ever put you down even the devil because he’s always around you to get you to become suicidal…

[@ruffryders210012]

Just read that the next time you are tempted and tested, remember that God will allow hardships in the life of the Christian, but it will always be filtered through the screen of his love. He will never give you more than you can handle. I've dealt with my share of hardships. Rejection, betrayal, etc. It's hard and the world can suck at times. But whenever I turn to God by reading the bible, praying, fasting, and resting I come back stronger and ready to deal with the next attack from Lucifer. You got this!!

[@layman6556]

Bless your heart my sister in Christ! I just wanted to add, living a life of total faith in and commitment to God can really be challenging, but it’s incredibly rewarding. Remember that this world is not our home, we are just pilgrims looking forward for that blessed hope. Whatever we face here in this temporal world is to prepare us for our eternal home with God through the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Btw, that eternal home whose builder and maker is God (Hebrews 11:10). I would just like to share a few verses for those who may be going through difficulties. Romans 8:28 (KJV):“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.” When we face opposition, God is working everything together for our ultimate good. Trust His plan, even when it feels like doors are closing. John 1:11 (KJV):“He came unto his own, and his own received him not.”Jesus Himself experienced rejection, yet He continued to love and fulfill His purpose, He came to do the will of His Farther. We can find strength in His example. We have a purpose, a mission, and a future. Psalms 9:9 (KJV):“The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.” Psalms 34:18 (KJV):“The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.” God is our safe haven. Seek refuge in Him and read His Word. He understands our pain and He will grant us the needed strength. Romans 8:18 (KJV): “For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.” 1 Peter 4:12-13 (KJV):“Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.” James 1:12 (KJV):“Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.” Enduring trials and temptations leads to a heavenly reward so our faithfulness in the face of adversity matters, and God’s promise stands firm for those who love Him. No matter how intense our current sufferings may be, they pale in comparison to the glorious future that awaits us. The hope of eternity with God far outweighs any temporary hardship. My brothers and sisters in Christ, we are never alone in our struggles or suffering. God is walking with us, refining us, and promises an eternal reward. Remain faithful, Shalom! Please, listen to these songs and be encouraged! They were a blessing to me and I want to share it. Apologies for such a long comment btw. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYPcpmailLSni5Yfeature=shared kzbin.info/www/bejne/apmao6ucramCfNEfeature=shared 🙏

Beautiful video, hold on to the belt of truth. Jesus said that those who are not to willing to forsake father and mother and even their own life is not worthy of Him. It sounds as though you are following the right direction painful though it is. Alot of americans are giving into depression and anxiety, and turning to drugs and distractions. We as believers must turn to God.

[@kiritokun-2078]

Well to help you out, you need to remember that in this world your being tested, God put you with this family to help you grow and overcome your hardships to come closer to God. Just ignore what your family is saying unless it’s something positive or something about God. I have big family issues myself which made me suicidal honestly and I’m not just saying that I really mean it, but then I remember, once your in heaven your no longer gonna be with your family so realise that it’s only temporary and I pray that God blessed you to come closer to the truth one day. 😊

Peep out Timothy Kellers lecture on "Counterfeit Gods" and how we can Elevate family to the status of Idol as well as the expectations we place on ourselves in relation to that. 1 Thessalonians 3:6-10 LSB - But now that Timothy has come to us from you, and has brought us good news of your faith and love, and that you always remember us kindly, longing to see us just as we also long to see you, for this reason, brothers, in all our distress and affliction we were comforted about you through your faith; for now we really live, if you stand firm in the Lord. For what thanks can we render to God for you in return for all the joy with which we rejoice before our God because of you, as we night and day keep praying most earnestly that we may see your face, and may complete what is lacking in your faith?

[@AA-bk8yb]

You and your sister need to come into agreement In prayer for your parents especially your mother, because she has the same issue of rejection from her “mother” and that bitterness has been “implanted” to her children and if can or if she lets the both of you lay hands on her and pray may you three and all the rest of siblings be able to bless her and speak truth over hers and hug and comfort her, you all can be set free from this “imprisonment” of a generational “curse” of rejection that the enemy is trying to bury you all in. Because the truth sets you guys free and with love you guys can be healed, but you guys must come into agreement over her and speak the truth in love, for LOVE binds everything together in PERFECT UNITY🔥❤️☝️

[@AA-bk8yb]

Remember we dont fight against flesh and blood, the outward expression is of an inward hurt. And only God’s deep love can heal a deep wound, your mother’s wound is deep, and you may not see it and only feel it, but that’s the reality. Your mother has deep rejection and needs to be healed from it.

[@whiskeyoutlaws8088]

I know what you’re going through! If you are not conforming to the pattern of the world, it’s hard because you can’t make the world happy or anyone who follows the world. I’ve been ostracized from my friends and family. I didn’t understand it in the beginning but for the last year the Lord has been with me. Know that he’s with you too. Know that he’s taking you where you can’t be distracted and a place where you couldn’t take yourself if the distractions were there. He needs you to gain faith and trust in Him. Jesus said in Matthew 12 48-50. He replied to him, “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?” Pointing to his disciples, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers. For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.” I want you to know, your videos which I found only a few days ago have encouraged me and brought light to a couple things. Have faith in the Lord and keep pursuing Him. Isaiah 40:30-31. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. “Pressured Preparedness”. You’re on the right track! God Bless!
