The hardest part is not seeking love in marriage. When your spouse changes and turns the relationship into something you don't agree upon but you're still called to love, even if it means your hopes and dreams will never be, and you will never get your needs met, ever... that's the hardest pill to swallow...

I learned how to love myself by immersing myself in the subject, researching online from a biblical perspective. I journaled my feelings and talked to God about it. I also spoke with a Christian counselor. I refused to stay in doubt and now I experience God's love and acceptance like never before. Be patient and don't give up. God bless everyone here 🙏

You hit the nail on the head with, “We did what we were told - ‘go out & love ppl. Serve others...pour out.’ But self-love is about receiving [love from God].” I remember being so angry with God when all of my relationships began to break down despite my having bent over forwards & backwards to love others bc I wanted so badly to be the hands & feet of Jesus. I felt lied to by God when my life was in ruins after doing what I thought He commanded. But the hurt & anger didn’t begin to let up until I realized, I couldn’t administer a love & grace that I had not yet received from God for myself. That’s when the healing began for me once that started to sink in. It’s so comforting to hear you guys, experts on this in my mind, saying everything begins with self-love as we receive love from the Father. Again, God Bless!🙏🏽❤️

This is a hard topic for me and many others in the church. I flip flopped back and forth back and forth on this issue. I so desperately want and need love! I have been all over the place internally. I remember talking to God and just wanting to go to heaven because I did not feel very loved down here and I know that when we all get to heaven we will have God's perfect love. What some Christians will say off the top is that (We love ourselves too much.) Have you heard this? This is where is gets complicated. But somehow in my attempt to not love myself so much I have become bitter, angry, and self-abusive which is weird because that is the opposite of what I was going for! I will dive into this study and pray about it and see what happens. I am the type of Christian where scripture and doctrine matters to me. So we shall see what conclusions I arrive at. Thank you Mark.

These are the perfect questions of what I have been needing to Ask Holy Spirit. Why do I find it so hard to love myself to make time for me, to do the things that bring me the most joy. And in truth I don't know why? Perhaps it is so foreign and unknown to me, that it is masked in fear because life never felt safe , if I did it was only in small and inconsistent amounts. My only true hope and strength comes from commuting my way to God. In my humbleness I rest in his love to complete the good work in me. Because he promises to. We are all his vessels and when we share we all get stronger together. Thank you again for sharing as we sojourn together.

1. I notice that loving myself is an issue I need to address when I feel deeply let down and hurt when the one person I love THE HARDEST (my boyfriend) doesn’t show his love/affection for me the way I WANT/EXPECT HIM TO but does it in his own way... so basically, it’s in my reaction to not receiving love the way I want it to look like. 2. It’s challenging because I really struggle to control my emotions. It’s the overthinking that I’m not worthy enough to be loved because I’m giving my whole authentic self to someone and they don’t love me like how I expect to be...so I then start to think that I’m not enough.

Thanks for sharing this. I heard Pastor Jimmy Evans say that one of the grounds for divorce was if the non-believer leaves the marriage. I guess if you are married to a non-believer or someone who is not focused on growing, you, as a believer, can't leave the marriage because that would mean giving up on the marriage and underestimating God's power to possibly change it. I am not advocating divorce but as you mentioned halfway through the video, being married to someone who is passive and not focused on growing together, is hard. Do you have any suggestions on how to be married in such a way?

Hey sis ❤ your not the only one..... a lot of women struggle with body image issues aka self hate I'm one of them due to childhood trauma and neglect and bullying and not being affirmed as a child that my body was ok so I began to chew off those lies that I'm too skinny legs too long look weird in a bathing suit shorts or skirt sis my insecurities were so bad i literally started putting sweat pants under my jeans so that I would appear to be bigger than i was I literally hated being so skinny now I'm not because im getting older and the Lord has blessss me to have alot of kids so I've been gaining weight but the torment of those years of bullying have been replaying in my mind. I suffered badly with comparing myself to the bodies of other women and I'm confessing that I have still been doing this even as a born again follower of Jesus it's like I've trained myself to look at other woman bodies and compare myself I've done my first step confessed and now I can go to the Lord to help to heal those wounds from childhood because the result of the mistreatment has effected my adult hood. Sis❤ here is something to remember there is no one size for every woman We are all unique in size Truth is it's ok to be skinny and it's ok to be plus size But we have to learn to love the skin we are in Some women have a body structure and they are built not to be really skinny and that's ok Some women have a body structure and they are built to be slim and that is okay ❤sis we are so blessed as woman because ❤we both have been blessed by God to have a husband that accepts our body image and truly loves us ❤that was God in His goodness giving us someone that would truly love us and accept us ❤️ just as we are .

I wish I could just LIKE myself. For years I depended on the world to validate me but realize that the world runs hot and cold. I have been in a very dark place for many years for several reasons. I don't feel worthy of God's love and feel like I can never measure up to what He expects of me because I feel like a failure and broken beyond repair. I have lost many loved ones, pets included of course, that were better than me and I'm still here. The kind of grief I live with can't be resolved. Illness has taken away everyone who I dearly loved. Inability to cope and living in despair leads to it's own set of problems. I know God must know my pain and He is the only one who really does but how do I ask Him to help me? He is all I have. Is my faith lukewarm or do I not have enough courage and patience? All I want is inner peace. Thank you for this video.

With my self towards my self ....and i think that i have not responded to my children appropriately when they have made some mistakes so now i beleive the Lord is showing me the importance of reaffirming my children even when they make mistakes For ex am why did heat your food in the microwave for 6 mins your gonna mess up the microwave vs. I see you tried to reheat your food thats cool because your learning and everyone makes mistakes the first time around and sometimes some people make mistakes a few times around before getting it down pat. So next time reheating food at no more than 2 mins try that out see if it works out good if now we'll up that to 40 secs Now why response to children is important bwcause it helps them not grow up to be so harsh and over critical about making mistakes it makes them grow up with the idea of giving themselves some grace to make mistakes and learn from those mistakes They will grow up more likety to say gee ok that didnt work out too well thats cool just a mistake vs gee im suck a freaking idiot common sense is not so common and im an example of that i suck!

And what if you have never been wanted or loved your entire life? I see immoral, dumb, and even ugly women well taken care of and provided for and loved. Me, I am none of those things and have asked God for help, for a husband for almost 20 years. God has never delivered. I have to accept that he has chosen to make me suffer, doesn't care about me, thinks I'm garbage like everyone else I've ever known has too, or has favorites and I'll never make it into that bucket, or I'm being punished, or possibly just forgotten. I've now raised two kids all by myself. It has taken so much out of me. We were preyed upon. God saved my life a few times. Maybe just so I could survive to provide for the two kids. They are now 17&19. I have told God I want him to take my life since he has chosen to ignore me. I think I may finally have the nerve to do it myself in time. Why would that be? I guess God has loved everyone but me and I have to respect it. I still know he is real. I just know that he has chosen a horrible life for me and I can't bear it. If he doesn't give people more than they can bear, please explain the millions of suicides, well, the ones that Clinton's were not involved in.... Happy for you guys though.

First off I'm physically disabled. I've been losing my vision over the past 25 years to glaucoma. It never slowed me down until I became a mother two years ago and first when I moved in with my now husband three years ago. I had to learn how to be independent without sight and accomplished significant goals but now I feel like a failure. I'm lazy, sometimes I get caught up in the past good and bad times, I'm frustrated most days, lashing out in anger and hostility. I feel depressed and think about suicide. I'm always saying that my son and husband would be better off without me because I've brought all my demons with me. They wake up happy and I'm already cranky. Before I had a family I was miserable but nobody else noticed because I was single and I lived alone. Now I have in-laws and my family always wants to get together because I have a family. I'm sarcastic and tired and I might be hormonal, too. I've been a Christian most of my life and always think about how can I serve others and I can't because 1, I can't drive anymore and 2, I'm not even a happy person, why would God use me? I admire that I don't like myself. I've practiced caring for myself physically but no, I don't love me. Please pray for me and I hope your video content helps. So far, I've realized what my problem is because my friend and sister in Christ pointed it out and then I looked up this video was first on the results.

Mark. Listening to this. First I want to thank you both for your honesty means so much to me. And I just realized I’m ready to focus. It just suddenly came to me and it’s not important that it’s takin years to realize or just able to focus on your teachings. I’m ready. Thanks so much. Mark.

I feel like Mark felt. That's why I'm here. Melissa keeps interrupting and it's triggering me 🤦🏼♀️

For me the way people feel about me is how I think God has always felt about me. I learned this from childhood. I tried my whole llife to be good and do good. I was trying to fit this image hoping that God would make my family and others church included love me. I have been in a performance life my whole life. I believed for ever that God was mad at me and I mist of messed up so I have to work from forgiveness. I have been in church most of my life but have learned that for me to question to much meant I was in trouble so I kept quiet and just pushed forward. I struggle for freedom. I am so confused. I have been begging God for help. Lately I have been listening to some of your message on you tube and thank you. I am trying to get this rooted so maybe one day I will be free.

I am not angry frustrated. But I am bawling alot and wondering if I can stay long enough for him to see his need to grow. I am so tired of battling bitterness because he succumbs to rejection. Resonating with what you said at 21:25

I am too hard on myself a lot, but our marriage is probably the thing that is truly making it extremely tough right now.

My Alpha husband creates a play that he lives in and writes my role. If he feels emotional pain it’s my fault and I have to take responsibility for how he feels - immediate blame game. If his button gets pushed it’s my job to never ever do anything again that would ever push that button. (Rather than his processing his feelings and healing that button). Also - how he feels is the reality - not the facts - not what is really going on. For example if he feels confused - it’s on me - I confused him and he needles me by repeating that I am not articulate over and over. He thinks he’s being powerful but actually it is the ultimate of powerlessness - when he feels bad he has to force me to change - he is not in charge of his feelings - I am. So… the point is - I realize that my lack of self love keeps me emotionally trapped in this false scenario. I understand it intellectually but my wounds keeps me emotionally stuck. My way out of being reactive is to really love myself with the grace of God so I can say - oh that’s his stuff, avoid the sink holes and shrug it off rather than be devastated. God put him in my life to show me my trauma so I can heal them. “Blessed blood of Jesus Christ please wash away my wounds…”

This is such a blessing. I’m my own worst enemy. I still hate myself. Especially how I effected my kids. This, and past series, are certainly a hug stepping stone.
