Nurturing the Heart of a Perfectionist

One of the greatest needs that perfectionists have is nurture, the need to find comfort through unconditional loving care. Perfectionists have an inner critic that drowns out the nurturing voice they need. It amplifies criticism, shame and judgment. So we continue to live in with a ball of emotional pressure on a daily basis.
Instead of being hard on yourself, today is the day to begin practicing being more compassionate and nurturing towards yourself, allowing your heart to heal and recover.
Today's broadcast is a message of love from my heart to yours.

    Being a teacher right now, I feel this strongly. I'm going to ask for God's help to stop withholding love from myself until I "get it together."

    A verse I really love is this: “For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.” Romans 6:14 NKJV It proves that victory over sin is not through performance/legalism/perfectionism but through the grace of God which we receive.

    Mr. DeJesus, you are really anointed! Last weekend was so emotionally painful for me, that I felt like my life was over...I took some time off work... I just couldn't take it anymore. Yesterday, after I left my church, after crying out my soul at the altar, I saw this video first in line on my feed...With my tough emotional journey, from being raised by a narcissistic parent...The Lord has spoken through you to comfort me and tell me that He understands...This message was so specific to what I was feeling and needed from God yesterday...Thank you so much for the work you do. God bless you and your family!

    Thanks for posting this. I'm a perfectionist. I learned this when I did the DISC personality test. Honestly I didn't know what it meant at first. But little by little it has become clearer. I'm reminded of how I need to grow in loving myself. Thank you for this message on nurturing. I feel this is the need of the hour for Christian men and I want to be equipped as much as possible.

Thank you for putting into words my internal struggle and bringing light and clarity to my journey. The funny thing about revelation, growth, and healing is that you don't know what you don't know......but God.... Keep it up brother you are bearing good fruit.

    14:10 “You’re watching this video, and it’s 2 AM. Yes, you. You’ve got insomnia. You’re spinning. This message is for you tonight: it’s ok if you’re not ok.” Mark, that was literally ME the other night when I listened to this part!! It felt like you were addressing me personally! THANK YOU so much for such a deeply nurturing talk, my brother from another mother!!! I can’t stop replaying it to soak it up and marinate. Sometimes I wish I could be transported right into your cozy office and share a hug with you and Melissa.

    I love this Playlist on perfectionism! This is where I am on my journey right now. God has been patience while I learned humility and now I am able to recieve these messages.( 3 years into the journey). I am not navel gazing, I am able to embrace the love, the teachings and enjoy myself learning now. Your rice experiment made me aware of the vibrations and the frequency I release through my words. It's amazing where that energy rest in our bodies. The image of shame was mindblowing and that's when I realized something has to change.(I found these images on the frequency of emotions) Thank you brother for your love, compassion and kindness! Love you bunches!

I can see how hard I have been on myself growing up, trying to reach an unattainable standard that God didn’t even set for me or expect of me. He just loved me for who I was, in that moment and nothing more. Powerful ❤️‍🔥🔥🕊

    Hi mark can you do a video of not perfectionism, but feeling rejected like you don’t even want to try with God? All the doctrine in my life, do you really believe the gospel? God loves you BUT, it’s always a but or something like you gotta do something! I don’t want to try anymore. I know God is good and he is not the problem, but I, just tired. Like doing what I gotta do in regular life is hard enough, now I gotta do stuff for God, be better for God like bruh. I’m just tired of fighting. If I just slept for the rest of my life, I would love to just know that He loves me the same even if I’m not doing stuff. I never feel like I’m enough. I mean I am pretty lazy 😬 but when I do try to get up, life just keeps knocking me down and I just can’t.
