One of my fave verses

wow..."You can't put make-up on a ugly heart"....that's true and real
Reality check indeed!
I've struggled with low self esteem growing up. I didn't find myself to be pretty and I also couldn't look at myself in the mirror at one point. Now I'm slowly regaining myself esteem back because I'm telling myself the way how God sees me daily when I wake up then before I go to sleep. I have to do it constantly now because renewing our minds is a never ending thing.
I've learned to put my trust and my issues to Christ and my worth comes through Him and not of this world. Thank you Heather for this message!
Hallelujah !! Wow be wonderfully blessed Sister in Christ. I'm a guy and just read your comment, which has brought me back to the action of renewing our minds daily. 😁 thank you.
Andy K. Yeboah your welcome :)
"You can't put makeup on an ugly heart" love it!
satan was the most beautiful angel God ever created. out of this beauty and perfection he became too prideful which caused his downfall. But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the LORD sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the LORD looks on the heart.” Samuel 16:7.
Beauty truly lies within the heart, that's the word of God and the word of God cannot be broken, or else God would of made Jesus Christ a supermodel and there's no indication in the bible that he was. He is however a supermodel of pure love and that trumps all including low self esteem. Seek him. .
Carlos Cordero Great post
"For He grew up before Him like a tender shoot, And like a root out of parched ground; He has no stately form or majesty That we should look upon Him, Nor appearance that we should be attracted to Him." ~ Isaiah 53:2
very well said
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Carlos Cordero thank you for sharing that
Our value does not come from our looks, accomplishments, abilities, or past history. Our value can not be judged or granted by any person or group. Our limitless value is based on the fact that God, the creator of the universe, of everything seen and unseen, created us in his own image!
To anyone with low self-esteem: Never believe the lie that you are not valuable. God demonstrated his love for you, by sending Jesus his son to die for you, so that you could be together with God for eternity. That's how valuable you are!
AMEN
Yes, yes, yes!! AMEN!! Such truth!
thank you God bless you for this reminder. @Heather thank you for your videos and help on becoming closer to Jesus. God bless you and your family !
it's hard to see God in a world where you have not seen love from a human. since I was 6 I have asked God for just one person to love me. but people come and go out of your life and it only depends on how you benefit them. even people who say they are Christian. I am a beautiful but as a Christian who doesn't want to use my looks to have things in this world. I end up with nobody. it's so hard to see God's love. this is why the second greatest commandment is to love others
Comcal Ministries well all that matters is that jesus loves you< and if you feel lonely pray! Pray! Pray! For a realtionship breakthrough
I was... struggling with my self esteem.. I feel so unworth it.. And I wanted to be with Jesus Christ again.. I neglected Him so much.. this helps me to find Him more 😭 thank u......
You are LOOOOOOVED~ 🧡 a year later and I hope you're still going strong 👊
Truly, inner beauty outlasts outer beauty. Maybe I'm not beautiful in the eyes of the world, but I believe that I'm beautiful in the eyes of the Lord. And the opinion of God is much important and true than the opinions of this world...
Hi Kharyl, I think you're beautiful! God bless you
nyc
You are beautiful on the outside as well !! God bless you sweetheart.

How do you guard your heart
@@oluchiosakwe Put on the full armour of God. Renew the spirit of your mind. Spend time with him always, in prayer, in the word, in his presence.
Nothing more beautiful than a committed, Godly woman.
I really needed this. I am struggling with social anxiety and deep insercurties over stupid flaws that I have. I really pray that I can over come these things. It feels like I'm in prison chained up mentally and I'm tired of feeling like that.... But thank you for this video :). I really do appreciate it
Alicia Woods me too
Can totally relate
I hope you are doing so much better now, beautiful. ❤️
Every single inch of your was made with a purpose. Even a freckle on your nose ❤️
@@famidakhan6447 😊🥰
OMG... Unfortunately, I was that woman!!! I can boldly say God has given me a spirit of love for my sisters that can’t be explained.
Again, I was that woman! I couldn’t connect with other women because I didn’t know me. I thought my STUFF defined me as a person. It took a lot of self evaluation, God, friends(my front row), and honesty for me to realize where the disconnect stemmed from.
Insecurities are strong holds that will destroy you if you’re not spiritually equipped to overcome it. Strong holds give room for Satan to play with your mind causing you to be angry at the world.
It’s such a blessing to overcome those challenges and allow God to use me for his glory.
Sisters you can conquer and defeat Satan, it’s going to take work but you can definitely do it.
I been dealing with self image :( depending on myself to be excepted by people
I am that woman also and I felt the power from this I'm definitely going to change the way I been thinking and acting. We should love our sisters instead of tearing them down. I have to start saying I am wonderfully through my Father Jesus Christ. Instead of me tearing my self down and not caring what nobody else think.
Just to let you know, OMG is no different than saying Oh my God, and that's taking God's name in vain
I can relate to her with high school. I went to a private school and was the only Black girl in my graduating class. I was so insecure and went to prom alone. Now that I'm way older and I am called beautiful that insecurity still lingers of not feeling good enough and I carry it with me everywhere and I never talk to God about it. I guess it's time to have a heart to heart with God about this. Thank you for this video.
I feel like this message was for me. I'm dealing with hair loss right now and it's been extremely hard. I've been seeking God before this happened but I've really leaning into him and asking him to help me with self-confidence and looking forward.I'm attempting to grow close to him and Christ daily and I can tell that it's happening.
pray for me my selfesteem is low an im depressed an brokenhearted an lonely
warr chrystal I'm praying for you hun. Hope your doing and feeling much better. Eph 2:10... you are God's masterpiece!!!
I feel the same way some days but please please stay strong in the Lord in prayer. He is faithful and just. I'm praying for you!
I feel you dear. Praying for you
warr chrystal I feel you
Will be praying, thank God there is people who cares, you may watch this one also ua-cam.com/video/dyBm5ovXwZ4/v-deo.html
Yessss gotta get back in the gym and doing green smoothies It truly made me feel good! But my relationship above all with Christ is first!
My favorite part: "I don't feel good about myself--I don't think I'm good enough"
God: "No, get your hope back in me and pick up a carrot instead of a donut!"
LOL YAS, Heather! Amen, Amen! God is so good--I needed to hear that! Great Word!
I just know from a person who WAS severely depressed, suicidal and suffered very badly with low self esteem how much it meant for me and how much it helped me to see someone who was very confident and had good self esteem who didn't wear make up and didnt have long hair. the longest l thought I had to get up early to do my makeup and hair to feel good about myself when I couldn't even get up to make myself something to eat or at least wash. I just know first hand if I would've been in that same place I was before and just seen the title of the video and seen her I would've been discouraged from watching this. I truly believe in the power in the word of God and Holy Spirit but the place I was in I would've been hard hearted toward this word.
😳guilty! I spend time with God but not enough.
Hey, it starts somewhere! 😊 At least you're spending time with Him! And the more you do, the more you will want to
thats so true, thank you and God bless
Self esteem is not about the “outside”. It’s actually very much the opposite.
Hi sister
you are beautiful inside and out, im a Christian man so I know what im talking about. I do love the lord and this has helped me in my recovery of depression anxiety and low self esteem. Keep up the good work dear sister and we will have a chat one day in glory about the goodness of God.
I'm Apostolic I love waking up every morning prayer and reading bible I love put God first in my life always everything follow behind
proverbs 31 woman was snatched! She took care of herself and others around her
always know what God saids about you, I am the Apple of Gods eye, i am more then a conquer, I am the head and not the tail, his word is all I go by now, no one can tell me nothing else because God has already laid it out for me.
Thank You Holy Spirit for bringing me here. I feel so liberated because I wanted people to hear me and not focus on the way I look.
Amen! Gone are the days where we look to people or beauty magazines for validation and definitions of beauty. There is nothing more beautiful than God and His love for us which dwells on the inside of us all. Through Jesus we are enough :D xx
Was anyone else EXTRA excited when they say Heather had posted three new videos?! It feels like such a treat! All of the videos are convicting in such a good way!
Yess! praise God :)
I love when i see new videos on my feed from Heather :)) She was one of those that inspire me to start sharing and encouraging other young ladies through my videos!! so amazing!
yess, always excited😀
What a great word! Spending time on the inner woman--through spiritual and personal development--will transform all areas of our lives.
Amen Kellie!! you couldnt say it better!! its so important to develop ourselves as individuals! I have shared how to build yourself in one of my videos and it has helped me so much. The Lord will surely help us on this :))
Kellie Alston me three
The lord sent me here. I needed this. Thank you
I've been searching the internet endlessly for an answer on how to be more confident.
I also tried to find the answer in scripture but I guess God led me here instead: confidence comes from God.
In Christ alone my Hope is found.
I knew it already but because my relationship with Christ has recently been on and off (in other words, I need to learn to say NO to the devil because I've been spending more time doing his work than the Lords recently), I somehow forgot where my peace and confidence came from. I forgot God was so powerful and loving. I forgot about His promises and His plan for me.
I feel I can now walk in to work on Monday morning with my head held high for God.
Normally I walk in there with thoughts of myself... Is my hair ok, what shall I say to my co worker, how can I start a conversation etc. etc. And always I fail.
People sense I'm insecure and they tend to leave me alone.
But I am not alone, for God is with me.
I can't wait for Monday, I'm going to walk in there boldly for Christ and not look back ;)
Thanks girl x
Thank you for your message...I got diagnosed with Bipolar 1 and had to take medical leave from nursing school...Now I don’t have the money to go back because I maxed out on my federal student loans...also I have issues with my job and I’m just at a point where I hit rock bottom again...after going through so much in my 20s now I’m 32...my passion for nursing I believed is a calling from God but I believe it’s low self esteem and me not being close enough to God is what hinders me...I may be on medication for the rest of my life but I know I must overcome my self doubts and my doubts in Jesus Christ
Ohhhhhhhhhh Heather!!! I definitely understand because I went all of my school years without a guy asking me out!!! It put a huge dent in my self esteem!!! But once I embraced who I am in Christ.....I started to realize I don't need a man's validation!!!
I am not jealous of other females. I just don't trust them and every time I try they remind why I don't trust them. no one has any morals or values any more. do you know how many times my husband has been approached by women from our church... I have just learned most have no values. even at my best there is better. the key is to not put your value in man, but in Christ. im ok to be alone the rest of my life. looking a certain way, taking care of yourself, fat, skinny, black or white didn't matter. beauty is in Christ
AMEN!!!! GOD BLESS YOU MY BEAUTIFUL, WISE, AND ANOINTED SISTER!! PRAISE THE LORD!!
✝️✝️✝️🙌🏾🙌🏾🕊🎵💟💟💟💟🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I really needed this. I'm 30 ( which I know is still young) and it's hard not to compare how I look now to how I looked in teens or twenties. It's not that I've aged horribly already but I do look differnt as is normal! I've struggled my whole life finding worth in my looks so aging is something the Lord needs to help me with.
I have this same testimony where I was awkward in middle school too. I had the Steve Uriel string on the back of my glasses and everything! 😂 But as I got older I started to gain confidence when I got contacts and later at age 18 when I got baptized God have me renewed confidence! I even stopped wearing make up for a year and grew my eyebrows and (but still tweezed them) I just still felt beautiful because God helped me. God showed me that even though I’m more attractive now as a young adult..he allowed me to see other ways I can beautiful through my CHARACTER. The heart of Christ within shines bright and a lot of people have told me that they love how cute I am but most importantly they love how my heart takes care of others and how I am considerate and thoughtful. There’s a scripture that says what is of a great price on the sight of God is a meek and quiet spirit. To be humble and not high minded! Just confident not cocky lol. God bless you all!
Especially hard as a woman. Well needed talk
hi Heather. i'm sixteen years old and my confidence is at 0% and i am tryin to learn how to accept myself. so many ppl come to me and tell me um beautiful bt tht sounds strange to my ears. thank u for yo video. it helped me a lot. now i know tht i am beautiful through Christ.
Lebone Molebatsi - you are beautiful girl . Jesus thinks you're amazing & you are :)
O botse oska tshepha maaka a Sathane
It’s hard for a man that has only had bad relationships and never had a woman that loved them forever and accepts them the way they are
I’m not a perfect person, and Jesus died for me because of that! Amen! I pray that this stronghold be released from us by the blood of Jesus!
Preach sis teach our sisters this is so awesome some girls dont have mothers that teach this or older sister and its so awesome that you are sharing your wisdom
I'm battling with myself about my insecurities right now! I struggle with self image like I'm to skinny and the fact that I'm an A cup. I pray I get over these things and realize that God made me perfectly.
I used to be skinny bf. Go do some health check...eg scanning for fibroids, check for anaemia
Infact do a total health check. I did n found a health issue. Once I took care of it, then my body returned to normal
Thank you heather for sharing your story because, I was in a unhappy place of my life. But today, I will no longer feel that way about myself from this day forward.
Thank you so much I dealt with low self esteem issues all through junior high and highschool. I was born and raised in the church and thought I knew who I was. But these years of your life can make you look at yourself differently and start molding you into who you’re going to be. I was so focused on what girls were saying and my cheerleading team was saying about me. That I stopped paying attention to The Lord. I was in church helping direct the childrens choir at 16 and going to Bible study and church on Sundays but it wasn’t helping. I got deeper and deeper into depression and fear had me bound in not playing an instrument that I love. An instrument I had played since I was 8 I stopped playing at 14. Throughout my highschool years I had some physical problems happen as well and they started contributing to the depression. The depression became so bad that I didn’t want to be here on earth any more I didn’t think anyone loved me I didn’t love myself I was taking in what others thought of me and started believing it. I started believing that the world would be better off without me and my family wouldn’t care if I left. I would try and smile fronting even though I knew I wasn’t doing well. Since a lot of friends knew that I was into church and things they would come to me for help and advice. I would try and give them advice just saying to pray and ask God about it not admitting that I’m having a hard time myself not admitting that I need to pray too. It was almost as if I was looking in a mirror speaking to myself about it. But on the other hand I wasn’t even praying myself. I had given up on Jesus and on everything else. I felt that if God can’t do it then no one can. And when I was at my lowest I heard God say I will never leave Nor forsake you! And I started crying and went down in prayer. Throughout senior year I was still having those kind of thoughts every so often. Then second semester of senior year 2020, the Lord led me in prayer again about this stuff. And now again in 2022 I had been feeling low self esteem and had to start rebuking it and truly deeply getting into the word of God and am still doing it as a 19 year old young lady and trying to still find myself in Christ Jesus. This video really helped me and gave me encouragement. I am learning how to speak positivity over myself and not letting negative thoughts cloud my mind. So thank you and I Thank The Lord for sending this message through you for young women and women going through this to hear!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I know this video is old but this video has brought me so much peace tonight. Thank you so much
thank you so much Heather!! I very much so needed that. I've been the girl whos been single for 23 years and felt like I was inadequate because of it but Im found in Him, not in relationships. This was amazing. Love you and God bless you and your family
13:34
"Honey I don't care" LOL😂 Heather out here speaking FACTS.
Struggling low esteem for years, this really helps me alot! God bless you always. :)
This is exactly what I was needing to hear this morning! Praise God for all the amazing work He is doing through you.
You are enough through Jesus Christ Our Savior!
Wow! How did I randomly find myself listening to this video at 2 am only realising midway through the video that you're the author to the book I'm currently reading 'Dusty Crowns'. You're a blessing. Thank you Heather
guys go through this too i swear its like all a woman has to do is look Good and the world is hers there are so many expectations that the world has for a man.
This was just everything Heather, this is exactly what our generation needs right now, more God and less Self!!!
I'm not new to God I have known him for my whole life and I've accepted him to be in my life but lately I've been struggling with trusting him I have been praying and spending time with him but he still feels so far away😔
Very intelligent women. You are really helping a lot of women who have low self esteem thank you. Finding Jesus for me is the best thing that has ever happened. Keep doing Gods work.
My self esteem is living for the Lord 🙌🏼
thank you for this. its so hard .. especially in this self absorbed world that we live in.
There's nothing wrong with looking pretty and nice, but make your heart look nice and pretty to.
Im going to be honest with you, before I clicked on your video I was deciding to click on another. I thought " man shes pretty and lightskin, what can she tell me?" but after watching halfway through I found we had so many similarities. This video really blessed me and I never want to judge people before knowing their heart again.
Heather, you are beautiful. From the inside out, you are a woman that fears the Lord.
Amen, God bless you and anyone else reading this! This video really encouraged me to treat myself better and to spend more time with God.
OMG!! I'm an 18 yr old dealing with a couple of insecurities right now and listening to this just lifted my spirits. God bless you!😊🙏
Thank you Heather. You really spoke to me tonight. Been feeling so low on my self confidence lately and it's because my relationship with The Lord has diminished a little. I'm going to get my relationship with Him right again and I know I'll start feeling better inside-out, after I remind myself of who I am in Christ.
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!! " at age 20 everything is going down hill, sorry" . Thank you for your help. Tough love.
It's common for people to not be asked out at their high school (points to self). I went to a mostly Asian school, so I guess we were the minority, but still. It's high school. There are billions of people in the world. It happens. I really dislike when people think that's abnormal. It's normal.
BecomingTia just because something is normal, doesn’t mean it’s right.
I love this message!!! God bless us women
Amen!!!!!! This is awesome! I needed this today! I’m a car accident survivor and have been focusing on getting rid of my negative self talk. True beauty that is really attractive is truly a meek and quiet spirit.💜💜💜💜
Speak Heather!! Speakkk🙌🏾🗣🗣🗣
This title alone!! God is so amazing. I just prayed this prayer today and he using you through UA-cam to help me!
I’m crying while watching this.. I struggle with self esteem and I just don’t feel good enough. Thank you for your message
This was very up leftwing and true. I'm learning to love me God's creation. Fearfully and wonderfully made.
i need to see myself through Gods eyes.cos often i feel down,i compare my self to others...forgetting my worth
Thank you sister Heather. This means a lot.
i also was not asked out by guys till last year in oct. and p.s. i am about to graduate college.
I needed to see this video. I've been struggling with self esteem issues since middle school. It has gotten much better over the years, but I'm still struggling with it. I'm a rising junior in college, and I've noticed that my parents don't seem to care about my accomplishments anymore. I wanted a congratulates because this semester was beyond difficult for me, and my mother looked at me like she didn't give a damn. At that moment, I knew that 1. I needed to find myself in God, 2. Don't seek praise from anyone and 3. Congratulate myself. Thank you for this video!
Rooted! Planted! Never Shaken! God is so good Heather! Thank you for encouraging me, confidence in the Lord is what I have been working on lately! Mind, Body and Spirit, I'm praying many are blessed by this video just as I was! You are greatly inspiring❤️
always make me cry in a encouraging way love you Heather😢😢😢
God sees the heart.
I really love your positive energy and the fact that you are saying to get over insecurity through Christ ❤️ makes me want to really try it seriously
Heather thank you so much for telling your story!!!!!
