Your big sis in Christ | seeking validation from guys 😔💔

Hi Fam 🤍
Today I'm sitting down being really honest and open about my journey when it comes to seeking validation from guys. It's not easy to talk about, but I never had a big sister or mom who told me these things, so I really pray that I can be that to you 🤍

    Interestingly enough, though many men in Christ don’t admit it, we experience this same sense of inadequacy and same desire to be desired by women that God never confirmed for us…..thank you for this video Deborah! 🙏

    Thank you for sharing this! It's hard when things like this don't get talked about enough. Even though it's such a tough journey to walk, it gives comfort to know that we're not alone. God has everything we need 🤗 Your validation is found in him. You're a son of the most high king!! It really doesn't get much better than that 🤍

    Seeking validation, regardless of the source, from guys, girls, bosses, parents...if not from God, will always lead us to a dark hole, and it will never be enough. We are very much loved and wanted, and thats from the greatest of them all. Jesus Christ, and he has those scars on his hands as one of the thousands of ways he's shown us the immensity of that love. Nothing beat that.

    Sis, your testimonies always hit home. I’m 28, never had a boyfriend, last time I kissed was probably in high school. But I was so insecure and ashamed that I created this persona for my friends who is supposed to be a hottie, having sex and I even started drinking and smoking to fit in. It was so bad that I wouldn’t go anywhere including family gathering without makeup to seek validation and appear as a baddie. Ever since I had a mental breakdown and God helped me out of that state I decided to be my own self and honor the lord. I created a new Instagram where I only share positive quotes, I stopped going on random dates just to have a story to tell and not have to justify why I’m single. I’m not ashamed of being a 28 yo virgin or look a certain way without makeup because God doesn’t look on our appearance he looks on our heart. Your are such a blessing to me and I am grateful God blesses us through you❤

    wauw sis thank you for sharing a part of your testimony 🤍It's so sad how we feel pressure from people around us to be a certain way. This has definitely affected my journey too. But usually in our lowest moments we are able to humbly before God to ask for his help. We can't overcome these things in our own strength. I'm so proud of you and excited to hear that you've started a new instagram too! God is doing a new thing within you. He's only just gotten started! Isaiah 43:19 🤗 I pray that you will continue to see yourself the way God sees you, valuable beyond measure, and so so loved!! Love you sis :)

    I was in the same boat as you till exactly 29, im 32 old now. Got the girl I dreamed of and didn't even think exists and given up at one point. Long story short she was a counterfeit ( a narcisist ), not only that she was a party girl of the world and introduced me to the New Age crap. Angel Numbers, Manifestation, Tarot readings I really questioned my faith at one point as this stuff seemed to work ( but it's demonic ). So what's the difference between you and me. I got lured by a counterfeit sent by the devil and my last word to her were I wish I never met her and it's true. Not only was she sent on a mission to destroy me as a man and waste 3 years of my life which I am still recovering from, but most importantly I realise she was trying to lure me out of religion and question my faith, because she was constantly spamming how the Bible is teaching me that actually ,, I am God '' and how to manifest my desires.

    Thank you for your powerful testimony. I have a son and daughter about your age, my daughter had a similar path before, and I prayed years for her that the Lord will straighten her path. She is now happily married and had two sons and another on the way. Our God is a good Father, and I truly believe that God is preparing the man of God rightfully for you, and will bless you with God fearing children. HE will reward your obedience and will bless you more abundantly, you will be like a tree planted along riverbank, bearing fruit each season. Your leaves never wither, and you prosper in all you do. -Psalm 1:3. Stay bold, strong and courageous woman of God! HE is with your wherever you go. God bless you!!

We should always look to our creator, not the creation because in Christ is our validation, sometimes our spouse can not give us that validation and that is why many marriages end up in divorce and relationships are been broken. ❤

    I’m 32 and have a had so many failed relationships. I didn’t understand who God was, his ways or the Bible until last year and I’m finally surrendering to God. I’m tired of doing this on my own. It’s been painful and I wish all my wounds could be healed over night but I’m learning to just take it day by day. I pray for a kingdom husband and marriage as well. I pray God fills all my needs and voids during this season and forever 🙏🏼❤

I didn't understand why I could feel like I was good enough and now I am unlearning those toxic & trauma that I went through. I no longer want forced love, but genuine love that God sends to me.

    The compassion of Christ fills my heart as I am listening to you, sister Deborah. The fundamental reason for this thirst for validation from guys is the foundational issues associated with the absence of fathers. It is a deep-seated inner conflict as we all seek fathers. Truly, some of us have been given obvious names, perhaps because God knew that we would need to be reminded of our callings and destines even through our names and saving us from the world of sin. I am deeply humbled by this moment of your transparency in sharing your "then experiences" sister Deborah. We are not our behaviors nor our mistakes but rather the finished progressive work of the Father perfected in Christ Jesus. God has more of you in Him. Thank God for His salvation and mercy as He is giving you a voice to them that are held hostage to announce to them "Live" Thank you woman of God. God bless you my sister❤

    I grew up with the same values and placed a lot on my purity. I didn't date until about 25 but having not known anything, I mistook flesh for love. I got married and had a beautiful baby but the man was not the one (or he was for a time) then, he left and disappeared. Do not feel shame, it reminds me of the Samaritan woman he spoke to, he revealed himself to her despite her having known so many men, he loved her and showed who he was even to her. That in itself tells me that I am accepted in Christ and waiting was not wrong, making my mistake was already forgiven and as he always says... You latter will be greater than the former ❤❤❤ you're a beautiful soul, forgive yourself and forgive the past mistakes

    Wow! Girl this is so timely. I believe your video was sent from God straight to meee😂. No because I'm 17 and I struggle with male validation and due to having an absent alcoholic father and a toxic narcissistic mother ( which plays in to the daddy issues) I feel like I have daddy issues too. I literally have been praying to God about this because whenever I feel unloved due to my father not being around or whenever i would argue with my mum and she would insult me like crazy, it's like I would run to boys as a bandage to heal me but they just used me for my body and left, sometimes took advantage. I have done this so many times and God taught me that not only will it affect me but sometimes them because as a result of my actions i noticed occasionally i would become toxic or use boys for my own gain. Kind of like come here im sad let me release my pain on you and then leave. However, I'm so grateful that we serve a God who is ready to restore us even tho we make the wrong choices. What your doing is really helping young girls like me. God bless you girl and thanks for sharing your story❤️❤️❤️

    Big Sis!! After seeing this video and reading Hosea…I just couldn’t get this off my mind! I must have read the chapter 3 or 4 times in various versions of the Bible! I was so blessed that I was awaken at 4:30 am and i had to journal ! As I looked in my journal I looked at the page where I was writing a letter to my future husband but I didn’t finish. I actually couldn’t get past the first line! There is where I continued my journaling and wrote a letter to my LORD! Saying just as you restored Israel back to you after her whorish ways in Hosea, restore me back! I am no longer interested in chasing after lovers. I too am done partying! I am a wife and I submit to you JESUS! Then I wrote on describing my new perspective and serving God as my Husbandman by consulting and respecting Him, and speaking with Him and spending time in His presence! So “Thank you” for this video I am glad you were obedient to GOD! Praying for you!!!

We are all here healing and learning together.

Trust that he knows your desire to have a partner. He will make it happen in his perfect timing. You are still so young! Enjoy all the time you have to spend with Jesus alone. As amazing as relationships can be (or so I've heard, I've never had one either), they will also restrict a lot of your freedom in ways you don't realise now.

I found freedom through that. That even when I do fall back into sin (because we’re all sinners) instead of beating myself up, to just reach for Gods hand and keep on walking. His perfect love casts out all fear and sin! Eventually we’ll see ourselves more and more like God sees us. We’ll know that we’re special, worth so much, enough, chosen, loved!! I pray that God will continue to pour his perfect love and presence out over your life. So that you’ll never return back to your old ways! Men won’t give you what you’re looking for sis, it’s a dead end. Remind yourself of that. What you need and deserve if found in Christ alone 🥹🤍🥰
