I've heard this saying my whole life and tbh it doesn't sit well with me. It implies that it's just the man that needs to do the work on himself when in reality both the man and woman need to work on themselves by seeking God.
@@dwiz_9336 the first few words are "a woman's heart should be." That's specifically addressing a woman doing work on herself. Men pursue or "seek" women, typically.
I waited for 6 yrs, and God blessed me with the best! I lost him in Feb, he is now in heaven, but I had almost 25 wonderful yrs with him!!! It was beyond anything I could have imagined!!! God knows what is best and only wants to give us his best!!! He is our husband when we have no spouse! Trust him!!!👏👏👏
You have an amazing and beautiful perspective of thankfulness! I’m so sorry to hear about your loss for this season, and thankful to hear about your hope in Him!
Now this is high level Christianity. A lot of Christians are living a very shallow walk with God. Thank you for sharing what it really means to love God and His people.
Psalm 139:23-24 “Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.” 24 “Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life.”
I have been single for the past 20 years, just work and nothing else. 43 now. Prayed to God recently that if your will is for me to be single, let it be. But I won't submit to lust. I will give my best to Him. He is our joy and delight. The biggest miracle is our relationship with God everyday. Your God is the God I know. He is an amazing God, Father, Protector, Provider and Caretaker.
17 years ago I was frustrated because I had the hardest time finding a good man. At the end of my rope, I threw my hands up and cried out to Jesus, telling Him that I would leave it in His hands and trust that He would bring me my future husband. Less than a week later I met my future husband! Come fo find out, I already met him years ago. I thought he was handsome, but never had the courage to speak to him. Then 17 years later it all worked out the way it was supposed to. His ways are not our ways, and sometimes we just need to be patient. We have to remember that things happen on His time, not ours. I pray that Jesus will give you exactly the woman you need. A provers 31 woman!
Do you know how phenomenal this video is? It is an encouragement for Christians to get into alignment with their God-given assignments not so that we can receive what we want but because we care about what God wants. Yet and still, He is the Father who goes before us!!! Thank you, sir.
I thought I was a good person but you talking about God's love and praying for a pure heart made me realize that my heart is dark, selfish, and wicked. I thought I was earnestly searching for God but my intentions were impure. This story brought me to tears many times and by God’s grace you’ve brought me to a new understanding of love and faith. Thank you and God bless you
Last night I shared my feelings with a lovely young woman that is in love with God. She sweetly let me know that she isn't looking for anything because she will be joining the Air Force in just a few months; something she has been wanting to do since she was a little girl. I played some music for her and we prayed together. She was moved and expressed gratitude for the time we shared. This morning this video was in my suggestion feed. I did what you suggested, at the end. I prayed about what touched me most; that God would reveal and purify the condition of my heart in this matter. Thank you for being obedient in sharing this story, brother.
자동번역 기능이 있어, 이 가슴 벅찬 이야기를 들을 수 있게 인도하신 하나님을 찬양합니다. 너무나 큰 영감을 주었고, 영상 말미에 성령에 압도되어 기도하기 시작했습니다. 그러자 하나님께서 제게 앞날의 중요한 기도 제목에 대해 알려주셨습니다. 당신은 복의 통로이자 복 그 자체입니다. ㅡLove from South Korea
Wow- same here🙏🏽❤️. And all throughout God working on each of us individually in this time of separation, He sends constant reminders that His promise still stands and He won’t go back on His word.❤
May I ask what assurance He has given you? A LOT of people have thought they were in this period and were not, and pined away for no reason except that they were deceived. This man's testimony is not the norm. I HOPE (without having absolute certainty, which is NOT true, genuine, biblical hope) that you truly know and will be reunited, but how can you be certain? Even this man in his story, he did not know for certain that he'd be together with her. He kept walking by faith in Christ to have HIM at the center of his life. Only when it really came together did he know it had all been foreplanned. Even I, right now, am in such a season, and God's hand has inarguably been all over it. But i'm still not 100% certain He truly was or is, and that I'll be reunited with her. The Lord knows how long I am willing to wait because i've been clear about it with Him, and He'll either be doing something or not. I hope you're able to let go if need be, or that God brings it together. Be blessed.
Same!! This is so encouraging. This popped up “randomly” on my feed-definitely sent from God as encouragement to be patient and pray for my future husband who is an honourable man and has a heart to seek and know the Lord before pursuing me. Thank you so much for sharing your story.
"Following God is not complicated. It's simple faith and selfless love that are the basic right and left footsteps that we take along the pathway to the depths and the riches of Yahweh's kingdom."
Beautiful story of love and patience. I too waited 3 years for my husband seeking God for His Intervention . It was His divine providence. It’s been 29 years now. God is so good.
This is not about a relationship…this is about the unrelenting, never ending love of God. My takeaway is humility before our father, the one who knows everything, the safest space in the world. Thank you for the time & space to pray at the end, it was a very sincere & emotional prayer for me. I had no idea I was harboring resentment towards God & so much more; He indeed to speak to me & deliver me. Thanks so much for sharing, God bless your family✨
will do! and the one thing that I learned when i was single was that my heart was most full when I was pouring out my love to others that needed it more. The more love that we share, there’s even more love that God puts back in our hearts! So awesome.
wonderful! being in community with other believers is a great way to start, to grow and prepare to go out. I know that can’t always happen, but its a blessing to have others to pray with, talk to, confess to and encourage. BUT… Have you read “Chasing the dragon”? by Jackie Pullinger. That’s a story I can vouch for, as my wife and i got to be part of that ministry when we lived in Hong Kong. I think you will find Jackie’s story very encouraging!
You might not see my comment but I’ll make it anyways I’m Haitian just got there in the USA and the way God work all things together its just amazing Anyone who’s reading now please trust God He Got your back in the right time you shall see that
Just lost the woman that I loved (she's still alive). God took her away from me because I was prioritizing her over Him. I was a wreck, maybe I'm still a wreck until now. It is probably God's way of telling me to put Him first before anything else. I am now starting to fix things with God. To God's children please don't wait for Him to bring you on your knees, go to Him while he is still being patient with you. When God disciplines you, I can speak through experience that it is not a pleasant one. As for Clint's story, it's nice to see God's work in other people's lives. Truly He is good and knows how to make things beautiful.
I appreciate your vulnerability here. May the many others who see this be praying for you both! Restoration of our own hearts with God is top priority and praise God that you are on that path! KEEP GOING! Keep inviting him in to every thought, every fear, every moment!
So very beautiful! There is no such thing as "coincidences" in God's world! None of these wonderful things could have happened without accepting Jesus Christ. He said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the father except through me." Because we are all sinners full of selfish desires, we are disqualified from living in heaven with God because He is completely perfect and holy and cannot be in the presence of sin. This is WHY He sent His only begotten Son Jesus to earth as a man to be the sacrifice for our sins because the price of sin is death and hell. He was tortured beyond recognition, yet He chose to be hung & die on a criminal's cross after living a perfect and holy life to take the penalty for every person on earth! By so doing, we can now be confident of our place in heaven with God just by understanding in our hearts what selfish sinners we are and accepting the free gift of salvation being offered to us by Jesus who died for our sins and rose again on the third day! God would that ALL would be saved but He knows that many will not accept Jesus. But you know what, if YOU were the only person on earth, He would have died JUST FOR YOU! He loves you that much!
@@bryonyweir1291 May God save you my dear one. I pray He stretches out His Holy Hands right now to comfort you in your sorrow, to lift you up in peace and surround you with a peace that surpasses all understanding. Say, Fear Go Now in Jesus Name.. you have no hold over me. You have no place here! I am saved by my redeemer, the one and only True God! God Bless you, may God keep you, may He make His face Shine upon you and lift you up in peace. In Jesus Name, AmeN! God Bless.
@@bryonyweir1291 Jesus has already found you a long time before you knew Him! Hod was there when He created you in your mother's womb! Read Psalm 39. God is love and in love there is no fear. Fear vanishes because He loves you so much! This is beyond our human understanding. But this communion with God was meant when He created the earth. It is us that got lost our Guide. Now you recognise Him, you can follow Him. Or when you are too hurt, He carries you, brings you to the flock with the other sheep. So you will never be alone, you see? I am from Belgium reaching out with these words. Be couragous! Have faith and hope on God because He will do wonderfull things you couldn't think of, yourself. He does all for our good. And yes, it will take time bacause godly life is a journey, a process. But along the way He goes with you! Look at Clint Snyders journey. Listen to it again. And read the Bible, it is full of human real life stories, all different, all the same: God loves you!!!
UA-cam comments don't show true expression, but my heart and soul is crying, "THANK YOU JESUS!!!". This testimony has blessed me, and I thank God that you were moved to share it.
@@ClintSnyder “The Lord will keep you from all evil; he will keep your life. The Lord will keep your going out and your coming in from this time forth and forevermore.” Psalm 121:7-8 ESV
This was just so special. I am waiting on God to bring a man of God into my life, if it’s in His will for me. “When the time is right, I, the Lord will make it happen.” Isaiah 60:22
Ditto sister. What a beautiful reminder to not settle for anything less than God's best. For me, this makes the wait a little more exciting and worth it. In the meanwhile, may we continue to strive to be the Godly women a man like this would long for. Bless you.
@@laycidagley2131 May the Holy Spirit keep protecting you, guiding you to meet your right partner, and leading you into divine marriage. In Jesus' name, I pray for you. Amen 🙏 I too am waiting for God's timing. Love from Rwanda ❤
I cried alot during this video 😢 i loved this man for more than 3 years ,it seems that he doesn’t want anything but God still put in my heart to pray for Him
Choosing Gods work instead of your own. Your friend yelling her name in the restaurant. The pieces coming together as you served God and not yourself. This is beautiful. It wouldnt have been the same if you had any shortcuts.
@@ClintSnyder Your video is God's amazing provision of a real life example that I could share with the youngsters I've been mentoring/ discipling. Me and my husband share an amazing love story orchestrated by God Himself too, though perhaps not as dramatic as yours, but also involves years of waiting and also each of us putting God first in our hearts and experiencing how our gracious Father weaved our paths together when we were each open and determined to be led by His Will and guidance. Super thankful for your sharing, and really hope to be able to connect with you and your wife outside of UA-cam. Hope you will see this comment. God bless
All in God’s timing. Recently, bitterness led me to sin, as emotional pain from a man who constantly neglected me took its toll. Dear God, I pray that you help purify my heart and guide me towards a marriage with a man who not only loves me but loves You even more. A man who loves You enough to love me the way You would want. When our flesh desires something so intensely, we often come to see that our father’s timing is truly better. AMEN.
This testimony was such a blessing. Thank you Clint and Ellie for living lives faithful to our Creator as examples for us who are asleep and yearning for God's work in our hearts.
Been waiting also for several years/months, depending on where you start to count. This testimony came to me at the right time (almost two weeks ago), so much of what he told about himself is totally me, it realy hit home. He will take us on a journey to get to know Him and ourselves deeper, often painfull but so worth it! Our ways are not His ways, praise His Name! Greetings and blessings from Åland ❤
Seek first the Kingdom of God, and all of these things will be added unto you. Thank you for your beautiful story illustrating the faithfulness and endlessly surprising ways of our Father.
Sometimes not being religious is a good place to start… listening to your Creator is more about authenticity than it is religion. I think Jesus exemplified that truth as well… the established religious authority in his day was killing authentic spiritual growth, when there is abundant life for all of us!
I loved listening to your story, young man. At 62 years I have learnt a couple of things from your message. I've been happily married for 36 years but am always open for a lesson. Be blessed. I'm praying for you.
I have been praying for the woman that I love for 3.5 years and have recently been wondering if I am wasting my time. I am hoping and praying that I have not come across this video by coincidence. I am going to hang in there awhile longer and switch to just praying for her and hope that God does for us what He did for you. God bless you.
You never waste time when you pray. If He put that woman in your heart to pray for her then don’t stop praying for her until He tells you to pray for someone else. Remember, the time you spend praying for her is God preparing you for what He has in store for you. 🙏🏽🙏
I didn't press on this video, it automatically played after the last video I watched, but I stayed, and I'm glad I stayed; very timely; God bless you and your beautiful family
I feel so empty inside, I need strength, I need God and I really need His answer of my path that I will go through.. please God, guide me and show me the answers that I suppose to go with🙏🏻 Thank you for your story that wakes me up from my slumber🙏🏻
Thank you for reminding me the beauty of a pure heart and to not only keep asking him to search my heart but to also repent so that I can receive more of his love and freedom in return 😭 ❤
Praying for our Father to give both me and my husband eyes to see, ears to hear, and hearts of humility to recognize and understand His love for us in this confusing season that we're in, currently.
I lost my husband 5 years ago and was pretty much resolved or content to remain a widow. I met someone very unexpectedly. It was not the right time. I know that I have fallen in love like Never before. But I had to let go. Was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do. It’s been a struggle. God has already revealed many things to me about my character and I have submitted myself to him in humble obedience. But Oh the tears. I keep hearing these words. Love is patient and love is kind. Like you I have committed myself to prayer for him every day. I it by grace, I came across this video tonight. Even though I’m from the other side of the world. I praise God for your testimony. There is an assignment for me to complete. God asked me to write a book about twenty odd years ago. I am finally getting to the end. Your testimony has given me the courage I needed to be brave and to trust God to bring things together in his timing and his will. Thank you. Much love in Christ your sister.
My husband went to be with the Lord.We both are Christian it's 4 years now.I prayed that will continue is guidance upon my life and my 2 children so I waited for God no matter friends said to find love but I know God is in control and will be in is timing not mine.God's plan.
I had tears. This is so powerful. God‘s thoughts are not ours and His ways are above ours. And I have received yet another confirmation that when God Almighty works with one person, simultaneously He works with the people that are related to him. And His time and plan are truly better.
your story reminded me of when Paul wanted to visit Rome but couldn't due to the Holy Ghost compelling him to go somewhere else where he was needed. I love to see God be the same person that he always was.
This literally had me in tears and prayer as I watched. The Lord brought this video to my feed and I am so grateful I watched. I know the Lord healed wounds in my heart and renewed my mind as I listened to your testimony. We have such an AWESOME FATHER! I am humbled and again so grateful for your sharing. May His blessing continue to pour to you and through you in Christ!
I don’t usually comment on videos. But this is one of the most beautiful testimonies I’ve ever heard. Not only of your love story and how God was intertwined in it all. But the surrender, alignment, and fully trusting in the Lord. Thank you for sharing your testimony, it has encouraged me as I wait for the one God has for me ❤
After watching this I was just reminded of how selfish my actions and motives have been. My heart is bent on satisfying itself. Instead I ought to be walking in obedience for what he is calling me to. He isn't telling me not to do things or go places because he wants to stop me but rather because he has my best interests at heart. He wants be to live life abudantly and that will come through obedience and casting off selfish ambition. "3 Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. 4 Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others." Philippians 2:3-4 Be blessed
I have been lonely and sad for a long time. I will draw close to my God and trust him. Thank you for this beautiful testimony it touched my heart deeply. I will now listen to his voice for my life from this day forward! Your family is so beautiful! God is good! ❤🙏
Several years before I became a Christian, I heard a song called "Til Kingdom Come" by Coldplay, and one of the lines says, "For you I'd wait til kingdom come." To me it just meant that I would wait for the right person. It encouraged me when I was lonely. Then I unexpectedly met someone online who I had an instant connection with, so many "coincidences," and his favorite band was Coldplay. I still wasn't a Christian (and neither was he), but I felt that God brought us together. We've never met in person and have never dated. After a couple years I was born again, and at that point the song took on a new meaning. I began to think of it as me waiting for him to join God's kingdom. Even if the opportunity to be with him came up, I wouldn't want to unless he was born again. I had wanted to know what love was and well, God taught me to love him. Which as you said involves expecting nothing in return. And he certainly isn't returning anything. 😅 He's dating someone else now and it breaks my heart but I don't think I'll ever stop loving him. I don't want to. Love isn't disposable. So I'm at the point where I'm trying to understand how to both love and let go. To pray for him but not be consumed by it all. I have to be careful about idolatry and impatience and pride. Loving him is both the most difficult and yet the easiest thing. It's been a wild 7 year long story since we first met, but I don't think the story is over just yet.
I am in love with my ex husband and it’s been so many years he left. If our good Lord bring us a good man and it’s His will that we get married, God will give us a new love for that person even if we always have the person we first love in our hearts…it would just be a different kind of love and God is faithful to open our hearts again to someone new but we need to give someone else a chance.
I know that all sounds powerful but we're not to be unequally yoked. it's not likely God has told you to wait for an unbeliever. You are right to pray against idolatry. You met him and fell for him when you didn't even know the Lord, His Word, or how He communicates to you, and it's so easy for demons to deceptively use "nice sounding songs" from groups like Coldplay who sing about "Moses" while drawing their listeners into the New Age. I adored coldplay for years, then got saved. They are spiritually dangerous just like every other major secular artists permitted to have a platform. Just ask the Lord to help you start again. And if He has planned to bring that other guy back into your life, saved and born again, and following the Lord in Spirit and Truth (John4:23-24), He will. But I would say it isn't "showing a lack of faith" to leave this hope alone. I once pined away for an unsaved "professing Christian" who was so lost in the world she was doing nude modelling and everything. i'd even had a vision of us together telling the nations that God was so good and that abstinence was best... even on the Conen O'brien show, i'm not kidding. It was not from God, and my innocent and sincere pursuit ended up scaring her and putting so much stress into her life, it practically made her crazy. She used her seductive allure to recruit countless men from the world and out of my friends-group and workplace to then try to make my life a living hell, gaslighting me and trying to get me fired for over three years, maybe more. It was insane. Not saying that will happen to you, but that not every spirit and 'whisper' that enters our mind is from God, especially when we were still in the enemy's kingdom.
My advice to people is that if you couldn’t “say yes” to marry someone today, but you remain in a relationship with them, you are keeping them, holding them, when you shouldn’t. In a similar way, essentially committing to wait for someone who you wouldn’t be able to “say yes” to as they are today, is holding yourself back from what God may want for you. It is futile. Don’t bind yourself to someone who isn’t an option NOW. There is no guarantee they will ever change and you might spend your life waiting for someone you can never marry.
@@deannesanv8931 agreed. it's so sad when Christians just date each other for years without ever getting married because they're so afraid of not having someone and their relationship with Christ is so limited that they don't believe they'll be complete without that person they aren't meant for. I also don't believe Christian men and women should be close friends who spend a lot of time together (usually one hoping the other will develop feelings) because it just keeps them from meeting someone else. This dude's testimony was so beautiful... but there are a thousand other people out there who thought "The Lord said I would be with them... I thought" and haven't made a video to show how tragically they were deceived.
Brothers and sisters, at the end of the day, what matters most is love. And I mean agape, not romance. Love for each other (the family of believers) and love for the lost. If we have not love, we are nothing (see 1 Cor. 13). You’ve said some things that were hard for me to hear but I’ve prayed about it with as much humility as I’ve got. I’ve prayed about it before and been cautious with myself because I know how the heart can be deceitful (Jer. 17:9). Truthfully, I’ve felt a little condemned by your words, but I know that even if our hearts condemn us, God is greater than our hearts (1 Jn 3:20). I hear your warnings, and I thank you because I know you mean well. However, I’m not interested in discussing this further with people I don’t know (and will probably refrain from sharing such personal things online in the future lol), because I simply want us to “make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.” (Eph. 4:3) rather than risk becoming resounding gongs or clanging symbols (1 Cor. 13:1). Marriage should always point us to the love of God for us. It’s beautiful and if I get to be married one day, what a great honor that will be. But thank God that love is not only for married people! The apostle Paul made that quite clear. Even so, marriage is temporary. One day in the glorious kingdom that is our inheritance, we won’t be worrying about marriage anymore. Those who were married will be married no longer (Mt 22:30). But love itself is not temporary (“love never fails” 1 Cor. 13:8). Remember, I’m talking agape love, not romance. We’re always willing to wait when we love (I think Charles Stanley said that.) What I’m waiting for is the salvation of friends and family. That has an eternal weight that marriage simply does not.
This was a blessing to listen to. A beautiful reminder to not seek selfish ambitions. Put Him first and the rest will be taken care of. Also a good reminder to trust the Father. Didn’t spend tons of time seeing about compatibility but trusting that He brought you together and would work things out within your marriage. Praise Yah!
I always thought it was a little bit silly to ask God for a sign through a youtube video, and discarded all those comments I've seen around of people saying God answered them in that way. Well, that was until it happened to me. I was sobbing in my bed, just praying for guidance. I opened up UA-cam and guess which video was at the top... I had never even come across your account. This was everything I needed to hear. Thank you, thank you so much.
This is such a beautiful and profound story with so much passion, acceptance, grace, care, and uncovering. God bless you two in all your pureness. Aloha!
Thank you so much for sharing your story with us! I'm so glad that I "happened" upon this! I love to see and hear of the wonderful way Father God works! Wow! I am 78 yrs old. My husband is now with the Lord, after almost 50 yrs of marriage, and God has done so many miracles in our lives! I shared your story with several others I felt needed to hear it. God bless you and your precious family! Ephesians 3:17-21 Hallelujah!
I think we do a lot of things without awareness of our motives. Especially when it comes to being kind and loving towards others, it's usually not unconditionally given. We want love back, which is also understandable, but not God's way of giving love no matter what. I'm glad to hear that you found the way to each other's pure hearts in the end! God bless you for sharing the story and showing the way to a pure heart! ❤❤❤
That was amazing! I am 42 and have been praying for His match for me for 20 years. Although it’s been such a long time, I am encouraged to continue to pray and follow whatever he shows me. I’ve always wanted to have a testimony like this. Thanks for taking “imperfect action.” That’s a word.
To the beautiful Snyder family.. Thank you for sharing your special story. What a testimony! It most certainly blessed my heart. I wept and wept - mostly tears of joy, and some from deep within the well of my heart that has been bruised by what seems to be relentless deferment of hope. I don’t believe that I’m like most out there in the current Christian climate/culture that are often consumed with thoughts of being married.. however, when I do have glimpses of the dreams and visions of my future that Holy Spirit has shown me throughout the years, my soul cannot help but groan as I am now in the latter years of my 30’s. When unbelief attempts to impose upon and assault my trust in Abba, Father, I shall remain confident and choose to stir up and exercise the faith of God within me! Thank you, Yeshua!! Your love story has stoked my faith! I am encouraged in The LORD! And I believe that I will, indeed, SEE the goodness of The LORD in this particular area of my life! Hallelujah! Although it feels at times, like Joseph, that my feet have been afflicted by fetters and that my soul has been placed in irons, I shall continue to place Adonai before me constantly.. and wait for His promises and the Words spoken over my life to come to pass - still I am being tested, refined, purified and humbled. Again.. myriad thanks for sharing your anointed testimony! May you, too, be encouraged!.. Yahweh has used the light that He has placed in the Snyder’s to encourage an Australian sister in Texas! Blessings galore to you and each of your beloveds! My heart sings with hope!! HIS joy is my strength!! Thank you, Jesus!! (..And I must say that I am blown away that this video even appeared on my feed this evening! How very ripe!) Praise God Almighty in the Highest!! I’m not one to comment (especially not lengthy ones like this!! Hah!) on videos, but I was so compelled to!)
Thank you for sharing part of your own story! And that story is absolutely still being written! I am confident, that as you continue to listen to Him, and give away the love that He gives you, that you’ll one day look back and say, “I lacked no love in my life, the more I gave it away, the more He filled my heart yet again!"
such an encouragement to really being practical on God's word "Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and jis righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you" Praises be to God!!!
Beautiful story! Through many years of infertility and adoption I learned that though I am waiting, God is hard at work, bringing all things together for His Kingdom. He knows what we need and will bring us to the place of accepting His greater gift, in His perfect timing.
This had me in tears. Crying 😱😭🤯😳❤️💕❤️💕❤️🙌✝️😇👏👏👏 what a powerful testimony. 35 years old & waiting. I pray God writes my love story too. Definitely the Lord has His hand on you & your beautiful family. Thank you for sharing!
Aww. I feel the same. Sometimes I do not know what to pray anymore as I sometimes think that I will just be single forever haha Glad you found your wife.
Absolutely! I have heard stories of people who started with little or no knowledge but managed to emerge victorious thanks to Ana Graciela Blackwelder.
I am a young Muslim just out of highschool but I know exactly what you are talking about. Also out of a relationship that couldn't happen precisely because it would be in fact be selfish and not pleasing to God. Inshallah I meet him again but finds himself with Allah ( God ) before me.
Brother so far watching your story, it is moving and convicting. I have prayed for Him to help me with my selfish ambition and desire for marriage. Waiting hurts but going ahead of God hurts more. Please remember your single brothers and sisters, who struggle with listening to God because of fear and selfishness. God bless you and your wife!

Now this is high level Christianity. A lot of Christians are living a very shallow walk with God. Thank you for sharing what it really means to love God and His people.
I would LOVE to hear Ellie’s side and everything God was doing in her life during those 3 years and how He was directing her :)
That would be amazing
I would also love that 😊
Same here!
Me as well!
Same here, 4:36 That would be great to hear her side too 😊

@Annemie_vS what a beautiful statement. Sadly so many of us pray for earthly rewards when it is the hereafter that we need to focus on.

I have been single for the past 20 years, just work and nothing else. 43 now. Prayed to God recently that if your will is for me to be single, let it be. But I won't submit to lust. I will give my best to Him. He is our joy and delight. The biggest miracle is our relationship with God everyday. Your God is the God I know. He is an amazing God, Father, Protector, Provider and Caretaker.
🙏 14 years of celibacy here… till the right man of God comes along….
In The Lord’s hands 🙏
17 years ago I was frustrated because I had the hardest time finding a good man. At the end of my rope, I threw my hands up and cried out to Jesus, telling Him that I would leave it in His hands and trust that He would bring me my future husband. Less than a week later I met my future husband! Come fo find out, I already met him years ago. I thought he was handsome, but never had the courage to speak to him. Then 17 years later it all worked out the way it was supposed to. His ways are not our ways, and sometimes we just need to be patient. We have to remember that things happen on His time, not ours. I pray that Jesus will give you exactly the woman you need. A provers 31 woman!

Do you know how phenomenal this video is? It is an encouragement for Christians to get into alignment with their God-given assignments not so that we can receive what we want but because we care about what God wants. Yet and still, He is the Father who goes before us!!! Thank you, sir.
Dear God, remove any selfish ambition, doubt and passion from my heart and let me focus on you and only you.
If you love something let it go, if it comes back to you it's God.

I thought I was a good person but you talking about God's love and praying for a pure heart made me realize that my heart is dark, selfish, and wicked. I thought I was earnestly searching for God but my intentions were impure. This story brought me to tears many times and by God’s grace you’ve brought me to a new understanding of love and faith. Thank you and God bless you
Thank you for sharing that.

Same. Also, having experienced the earthquake and seeing God, in His love, rescuing my entire family... Just wow.
Last night I shared my feelings with a lovely young woman that is in love with God. She sweetly let me know that she isn't looking for anything because she will be joining the Air Force in just a few months; something she has been wanting to do since she was a little girl. I played some music for her and we prayed together. She was moved and expressed gratitude for the time we shared.
This morning this video was in my suggestion feed. I did what you suggested, at the end. I prayed about what touched me most; that God would reveal and purify the condition of my heart in this matter.
Thank you for being obedient in sharing this story, brother.
God has amazing things for you. Please come back and update us in the future! Shalom Julian!

My reply here is 3 weeks late, but i'm curious how are you doing now? Goodmedicinemusic is right… God has amazing things for you!
This is happening to me in my life now. There is a period of separation while God does His work in our hearts. And I know one day we’ll be together.
Wow- same here🙏🏽❤️.
And all throughout God working on each of us individually in this time of separation, He sends constant reminders that His promise still stands and He won’t go back on His word.❤
@MLynn33 DITTO 💯
May I ask what assurance He has given you? A LOT of people have thought they were in this period and were not, and pined away for no reason except that they were deceived. This man's testimony is not the norm. I HOPE (without having absolute certainty, which is NOT true, genuine, biblical hope) that you truly know and will be reunited, but how can you be certain? Even this man in his story, he did not know for certain that he'd be together with her. He kept walking by faith in Christ to have HIM at the center of his life. Only when it really came together did he know it had all been foreplanned. Even I, right now, am in such a season, and God's hand has inarguably been all over it. But i'm still not 100% certain He truly was or is, and that I'll be reunited with her. The Lord knows how long I am willing to wait because i've been clear about it with Him, and He'll either be doing something or not. I hope you're able to let go if need be, or that God brings it together. Be blessed.
Same!!!!
Same!! This is so encouraging. This popped up “randomly” on my feed-definitely sent from God as encouragement to be patient and pray for my future husband who is an honourable man and has a heart to seek and know the Lord before pursuing me. Thank you so much for sharing your story.
"Following God is not complicated. It's simple faith and selfless love that are the basic right and left footsteps that we take along the pathway to the depths and the riches of Yahweh's kingdom."
Beautiful story of love and patience. I too waited 3 years for my husband seeking God for His Intervention . It was His divine providence. It’s been 29 years now. God is so good.
Awesome!!!
Amen 🙏 😊
This is not about a relationship…this is about the unrelenting, never ending love of God. My takeaway is humility before our father, the one who knows everything, the safest space in the world. Thank you for the time & space to pray at the end, it was a very sincere & emotional prayer for me. I had no idea I was harboring resentment towards God & so much more; He indeed to speak to me & deliver me. Thanks so much for sharing, God bless your family✨
Wow well said! And thanks for sharing and being authentic here! We need more of that!
And thanks for your encouragement!
Keep me in prayer, it's been 5 years with nobody. And I'm a woman of God. I choose to do God's will not mine.
will do! and the one thing that I learned when i was single was that my heart was most full when I was pouring out my love to others that needed it more. The more love that we share, there’s even more love that God puts back in our hearts! So awesome.
wonderful! being in community with other believers is a great way to start, to grow and prepare to go out. I know that can’t always happen, but its a blessing to have others to pray with, talk to, confess to and encourage. BUT…

Just lost the woman that I loved (she's still alive). God took her away from me because I was prioritizing her over Him. I was a wreck, maybe I'm still a wreck until now. It is probably God's way of telling me to put Him first before anything else. I am now starting to fix things with God. To God's children please don't wait for Him to bring you on your knees, go to Him while he is still being patient with you. When God disciplines you, I can speak through experience that it is not a pleasant one.
As for Clint's story, it's nice to see God's work in other people's lives. Truly He is good and knows how to make things beautiful.
It's okay. When a woman decides to leave, let her go. Something better is coming in the future. Focus on God and he will make a way.
@@ifeawosika966 yes that is what I'm trying to do. It still hurts but I'm trying to focus on God and his will.

Going through the same thing ..
it broght me to tears and it really speaks to me and enourged me- a single girl who has waited decade for God to bring the man. thanks for sharing.
So very beautiful! There is no such thing as "coincidences" in God's world! None of these wonderful things could have happened without accepting Jesus Christ. He said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the father except through me." Because we are all sinners full of selfish desires, we are disqualified from living in heaven with God because He is completely perfect and holy and cannot be in the presence of sin. This is WHY He sent His only begotten Son Jesus to earth as a man to be the sacrifice for our sins because the price of sin is death and hell. He was tortured beyond recognition, yet He chose to be hung & die on a criminal's cross after living a perfect and holy life to take the penalty for every person on earth! By so doing, we can now be confident of our place in heaven with God just by understanding in our hearts what selfish sinners we are and accepting the free gift of salvation being offered to us by Jesus who died for our sins and rose again on the third day! God would that ALL would be saved but He knows that many will not accept Jesus. But you know what, if YOU were the only person on earth, He would have died JUST FOR YOU! He loves you that much!
I think that's beautiful. I'm waiting to be saved and I'm scared.

Jesus has already found you a long time before you knew Him! Hod was there when He created you in your mother's womb! Read Psalm 39. God is love and in love there is no fear. Fear vanishes because He loves you so much! This is beyond our human understanding. But this communion with God was meant when He created the earth. It is us that got lost our Guide. Now you recognise Him, you can follow Him. Or when you are too hurt, He carries you, brings you to the flock with the other sheep. So you will never be alone, you see? I am from Belgium reaching out with these words. Be couragous! Have faith and hope on God because He will do wonderfull things you couldn't think of, yourself. He does all for our good. And yes, it will take time bacause godly life is a journey, a process. But along the way He goes with you! Look at Clint Snyders journey. Listen to it again.
And read the Bible, it is full of human real life stories, all different, all the same: God loves you!!!
UA-cam comments don't show true expression, but my heart and soul is crying, "THANK YOU JESUS!!!". This testimony has blessed me, and I thank God that you were moved to share it.

God is faithful
All in God’s timing. Recently, bitterness led me to sin, as emotional pain from a man who constantly neglected me took its toll. Dear God, I pray that you help purify my heart and guide me towards a marriage with a man who not only loves me but loves You even more. A man who loves You enough to love me the way You would want. When our flesh desires something so intensely, we often come to see that our father’s timing is truly better. AMEN.
This testimony was such a blessing. Thank you Clint and Ellie for living lives faithful to our Creator as examples for us who are asleep and yearning for God's work in our hearts.
Waited five years now. But not alone, with The Lord. God is Amazing. I Love Jesus so much. Blessings to everybody from Finland 🤍
Been waiting also for several years/months, depending on where you start to count. This testimony came to me at the right time (almost two weeks ago), so much of what he told about himself is totally me, it realy hit home.
He will take us on a journey to get to know Him and ourselves deeper, often painfull but so worth it!

This is the most beautiful love story I've heard in a long time. He truly makes everything beautiful in its time❤❤
I'm not religious and this was truly a beautiful story.
Sometimes not being religious is a good place to start… listening to your Creator is more about authenticity than it is religion. I think Jesus exemplified that truth as well… the established religious authority in his day was killing authentic spiritual growth, when there is abundant life for all of us!
Wow, this story is amazing and beautifully convicting. Thanks for sharing.

You never waste time when you pray. If He put that woman in your heart to pray for her then don’t stop praying for her until He tells you to pray for someone else. Remember, the time you spend praying for her is God preparing you for what He has in store for you. 🙏🏽🙏

Oh awesome! I think so too and I’m so so thankful for that divine connection that we all have a chance to be a part of!
Thank you for reminding me the beauty of a pure heart and to not only keep asking him to search my heart but to also repent so that I can receive more of his love and freedom in return 😭 ❤
Praying for our Father to give both me and my husband eyes to see, ears to hear, and hearts of humility to recognize and understand His love for us in this confusing season that we're in, currently.
I lost my husband 5 years ago and was pretty much resolved or content to remain a widow. I met someone very unexpectedly. It was not the right time. I know that I have fallen in love like Never before. But I had to let go. Was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do. It’s been a struggle. God has already revealed many things to me about my character and I have submitted myself to him in humble obedience. But Oh the tears. I keep hearing these words. Love is patient and love is kind. Like you I have committed myself to prayer for him every day. I it by grace, I came across this video tonight. Even though I’m from the other side of the world. I praise God for your testimony. There is an assignment for me to complete. God asked me to write a book about twenty odd years ago. I am finally getting to the end. Your testimony has given me the courage I needed to be brave and to trust God to bring things together in his timing and his will. Thank you. Much love in Christ your sister.
Thanks for sharing!
God works in amazing ways and does things that only He can do. He is the great orchestrator. Praise the Lord!
My husband went to be with the Lord.We both are Christian it's 4 years now.I prayed that will continue is guidance upon my life and my 2 children so I waited for God no matter friends said to find love but I know God is in control and will be in is timing not mine.God's plan.
Praying for you and your kids 🙏

That sounds like our Father God! ❤❤
Praise God. I just keep praying to hear His voice so that I do what the father wants of me.
I had tears. This is so powerful. God‘s thoughts are not ours and His ways are above ours. And I have received yet another confirmation that when God Almighty works with one person, simultaneously He works with the people that are related to him. And His time and plan are truly better.
your story reminded me of when Paul wanted to visit Rome but couldn't due to the Holy Ghost compelling him to go somewhere else where he was needed.
I love to see God be the same person that he always was.
This literally had me in tears and prayer as I watched. The Lord brought this video to my feed and I am so grateful I watched. I know the Lord healed wounds in my heart and renewed my mind as I listened to your testimony. We have such an AWESOME FATHER! I am humbled and again so grateful for your sharing. May His blessing continue to pour to you and through you in Christ!
Thanks for sharing!!
A beautiful story, full of encouragement and walking in God’s will.
I don’t usually comment on videos. But this is one of the most beautiful testimonies I’ve ever heard. Not only of your love story and how God was intertwined in it all. But the surrender, alignment, and fully trusting in the Lord. Thank you for sharing your testimony, it has encouraged me as I wait for the one God has for me ❤
After watching this I was just reminded of how selfish my actions and motives have been.
My heart is bent on satisfying itself. Instead I ought to be walking in obedience for what he is calling me to. He isn't telling me not to do things or go places because he wants to stop me but rather because he has my best interests at heart. He wants be to live life abudantly and that will come through obedience and casting off selfish ambition.
"3 Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. 4 Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others."
Philippians 2:3-4
Be blessed
This is such a beautiful testimony of GOD's Love, Faithfulness and Perfection in every detail of our life 😭😭❤️
I have been lonely and sad for a long time. I will draw close to my God and trust him. Thank you for this beautiful testimony it touched my heart deeply. I will now listen to his voice for my life from this day forward! Your family is so beautiful! God is good! ❤🙏

Freedom!!!!
Several years before I became a Christian, I heard a song called "Til Kingdom Come" by Coldplay, and one of the lines says, "For you I'd wait til kingdom come." To me it just meant that I would wait for the right person. It encouraged me when I was lonely. Then I unexpectedly met someone online who I had an instant connection with, so many "coincidences," and his favorite band was Coldplay. I still wasn't a Christian (and neither was he), but I felt that God brought us together. We've never met in person and have never dated. After a couple years I was born again, and at that point the song took on a new meaning. I began to think of it as me waiting for him to join God's kingdom. Even if the opportunity to be with him came up, I wouldn't want to unless he was born again. I had wanted to know what love was and well, God taught me to love him. Which as you said involves expecting nothing in return. And he certainly isn't returning anything. 😅 He's dating someone else now and it breaks my heart but I don't think I'll ever stop loving him. I don't want to. Love isn't disposable. So I'm at the point where I'm trying to understand how to both love and let go. To pray for him but not be consumed by it all. I have to be careful about idolatry and impatience and pride. Loving him is both the most difficult and yet the easiest thing. It's been a wild 7 year long story since we first met, but I don't think the story is over just yet.
I am in love with my ex husband and it’s been so many years he left. If our good Lord bring us a good man and it’s His will that we get married, God will give us a new love for that person even if we always have the person we first love in our hearts…it would just be a different kind of love and God is faithful to open our hearts again to someone new but we need to give someone else a chance.
I know that all sounds powerful but we're not to be unequally yoked. it's not likely God has told you to wait for an unbeliever. You are right to pray against idolatry. You met him and fell for him when you didn't even know the Lord, His Word, or how He communicates to you, and it's so easy for demons to deceptively use "nice sounding songs" from groups like Coldplay who sing about "Moses" while drawing their listeners into the New Age. I adored coldplay for years, then got saved. They are spiritually dangerous just like every other major secular artists permitted to have a platform. Just ask the Lord to help you start again. And if He has planned to bring that other guy back into your life, saved and born again, and following the Lord in Spirit and Truth (John4:23-24), He will. But I would say it isn't "showing a lack of faith" to leave this hope alone. I once pined away for an unsaved "professing Christian" who was so lost in the world she was doing nude modelling and everything. i'd even had a vision of us together telling the nations that God was so good and that abstinence was best... even on the Conen O'brien show, i'm not kidding. It was not from God, and my innocent and sincere pursuit ended up scaring her and putting so much stress into her life, it practically made her crazy. She used her seductive allure to recruit countless men from the world and out of my friends-group and workplace to then try to make my life a living hell, gaslighting me and trying to get me fired for over three years, maybe more. It was insane. Not saying that will happen to you, but that not every spirit and 'whisper' that enters our mind is from God, especially when we were still in the enemy's kingdom.
My advice to people is that if you couldn’t “say yes” to marry someone today, but you remain in a relationship with them, you are keeping them, holding them, when you shouldn’t. In a similar way, essentially committing to wait for someone who you wouldn’t be able to “say yes” to as they are today, is holding yourself back from what God may want for you. It is futile. Don’t bind yourself to someone who isn’t an option NOW. There is no guarantee they will ever change and you might spend your life waiting for someone you can never marry.
@@deannesanv8931 agreed. it's so sad when Christians just date each other for years without ever getting married because they're so afraid of not having someone and their relationship with Christ is so limited that they don't believe they'll be complete without that person they aren't meant for. I also don't believe Christian men and women should be close friends who spend a lot of time together (usually one hoping the other will develop feelings) because it just keeps them from meeting someone else. This dude's testimony was so beautiful... but there are a thousand other people out there who thought "The Lord said I would be with them... I thought" and haven't made a video to show how tragically they were deceived.
Brothers and sisters, at the end of the day, what matters most is love. And I mean agape, not romance. Love for each other (the family of believers) and love for the lost. If we have not love, we are nothing (see 1 Cor. 13).
You’ve said some things that were hard for me to hear but I’ve prayed about it with as much humility as I’ve got. I’ve prayed about it before and been cautious with myself because I know how the heart can be deceitful (Jer. 17:9). Truthfully, I’ve felt a little condemned by your words, but I know that even if our hearts condemn us, God is greater than our hearts (1 Jn 3:20). I hear your warnings, and I thank you because I know you mean well. However, I’m not interested in discussing this further with people I don’t know (and will probably refrain from sharing such personal things online in the future lol), because I simply want us to “make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.” (Eph. 4:3) rather than risk becoming resounding gongs or clanging symbols (1 Cor. 13:1).
Marriage should always point us to the love of God for us. It’s beautiful and if I get to be married one day, what a great honor that will be. But thank God that love is not only for married people! The apostle Paul made that quite clear. Even so, marriage is temporary. One day in the glorious kingdom that is our inheritance, we won’t be worrying about marriage anymore. Those who were married will be married no longer (Mt 22:30). But love itself is not temporary (“love never fails” 1 Cor. 13:8). Remember, I’m talking agape love, not romance. We’re always willing to wait when we love (I think Charles Stanley said that.) What I’m waiting for is the salvation of friends and family. That has an eternal weight that marriage simply does not.
This story is so beautiful and moving. Thank you for sharing. It brought me to tears.
This was a blessing to listen to. A beautiful reminder to not seek selfish ambitions. Put Him first and the rest will be taken care of. Also a good reminder to trust the Father. Didn’t spend tons of time seeing about compatibility but trusting that He brought you together and would work things out within your marriage. Praise Yah!
So true and thanks for sharing the encouraging words!
Wow to God. What a Story 🎉❤
Waht a wonderful story, God is so real..everyday he makes miracles! Thank you Lord for your love and your mercy!
This story blew me away! I hope and pray God will do an amazing love story in my life as well!
It has already begun! Your story is being written, and each day is a chance to increase in that love!
I always thought it was a little bit silly to ask God for a sign through a youtube video, and discarded all those comments I've seen around of people saying God answered them in that way. Well, that was until it happened to me. I was sobbing in my bed, just praying for guidance. I opened up UA-cam and guess which video was at the top... I had never even come across your account. This was everything I needed to hear. Thank you, thank you so much.
Wow…Just speechless…..This is nothing but God
Beautiful example of how our loving father knows what he is doing in our lives
Through this I’m deeply reminded that GOD HAS A PLAN and how impatient and self focused I am. Thank you 🙏🏽
This is such a beautiful and profound story with so much passion, acceptance, grace, care, and uncovering. God bless you two in all your pureness. Aloha!
Thank you so much for sharing your story with us! I'm so glad that I "happened" upon this! I love to see and hear of the wonderful way Father God works! Wow! I am 78 yrs old. My husband is now with the Lord, after almost 50 yrs of marriage, and God has done so many miracles in our lives! I shared your story with several others I felt needed to hear it. God bless you and your precious family! Ephesians 3:17-21 Hallelujah!
Wow! So beautiful! Thank you for sharing that!
What a beautiful story brother. Please pray for me
Power what God does God's delays not his denials Amen🙏

I think we do a lot of things without awareness of our motives. Especially when it comes to being kind and loving towards others, it's usually not unconditionally given. We want love back, which is also understandable, but not God's way of giving love no matter what. I'm glad to hear that you found the way to each other's pure hearts in the end! God bless you for sharing the story and showing the way to a pure heart! ❤❤❤
That was amazing! I am 42 and have been praying for His match for me for 20 years. Although it’s been such a long time, I am encouraged to continue to pray and follow whatever he shows me. I’ve always wanted to have a testimony like this. Thanks for taking “imperfect action.” That’s a word.
what an amazing story of trusting God in all things!
To the beautiful Snyder family..
Thank you for sharing your special story. What a testimony! It most certainly blessed my heart. I wept and wept - mostly tears of joy, and some from deep within the well of my heart that has been bruised by what seems to be relentless deferment of hope.
I don’t believe that I’m like most out there in the current Christian climate/culture that are often consumed with thoughts of being married.. however, when I do have glimpses of the dreams and visions of my future that Holy Spirit has shown me throughout the years, my soul cannot help but groan as I am now in the latter years of my 30’s.
When unbelief attempts to impose upon and assault my trust in Abba, Father, I shall remain confident and choose to stir up and exercise the faith of God within me! Thank you, Yeshua!!
Your love story has stoked my faith! I am encouraged in The LORD! And I believe that I will, indeed, SEE the goodness of The LORD in this particular area of my life! Hallelujah! Although it feels at times, like Joseph, that my feet have been afflicted by fetters and that my soul has been placed in irons, I shall continue to place Adonai before me constantly.. and wait for His promises and the Words spoken over my life to come to pass - still I am being tested, refined, purified and humbled.
Again.. myriad thanks for sharing your anointed testimony!
May you, too, be encouraged!..
Yahweh has used the light that He has placed in the Snyder’s to encourage an Australian sister in Texas!
Blessings galore to you and each of your beloveds!
My heart sings with hope!!
HIS joy is my strength!!
Thank you, Jesus!!
(..And I must say that I am blown away that this video even appeared on my feed this evening! How very ripe!) Praise God Almighty in the Highest!! I’m not one to comment (especially not lengthy ones like this!! Hah!) on videos, but I was so compelled to!)
Thank you for sharing part of your own story! And that story is absolutely still being written! I am confident, that as you continue to listen to Him, and give away the love that He gives you, that you’ll one day look back and say, “I lacked no love in my life, the more I gave it away, the more He filled my heart yet again!"
Amazing testimony to share with my kids.
such an encouragement to really being practical on God's word "Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and jis righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you" Praises be to God!!!
Great story about hearing and listening to God's voice and wonderful news about that girl Mercy having a couple look after her.
Beautiful story! Through many years of infertility and adoption I learned that though I am waiting, God is hard at work, bringing all things together for His Kingdom. He knows what we need and will bring us to the place of accepting His greater gift, in His perfect timing.
Thank you for this beautiful message God bless you and your family 🙏✝️🔥✡️🕎❤️
This had me in tears. Crying 😱😭🤯😳❤️💕❤️💕❤️🙌✝️😇👏👏👏 what a powerful testimony. 35 years old & waiting. I pray God writes my love story too. Definitely the Lord has His hand on you & your beautiful family. Thank you for sharing!
Youre too beautiful for him not to have someone for you! I pray you meet him soon in God's way🙏❤️
Aww. I feel the same. Sometimes I do not know what to pray anymore as I sometimes think that I will just be single forever haha Glad you found your wife.
Hi Tim! Thanks for sharing. If your heart is full in being single in this season while waiting for your wife… praise God!
Hallelujah!!! I’m favored and blessed with $60,000 every week! Now I can afford anything and also support the work of God and the church.
Oh really? Tell me more!
This is what Ana Graciela Blackwelder does, she has changed my life.
After raising up to 60k trading with her, I bought a new house and car here in the US and also paid for my son’s (Oscar) surgery. Glory to God.shalom.
I know Ana Graciela Blackwelder, and I have also had success...
Absolutely! I have heard stories of people who started with little or no knowledge but managed to emerge victorious thanks to Ana Graciela Blackwelder.
I am a young Muslim just out of highschool but I know exactly what you are talking about. Also out of a relationship that couldn't happen precisely because it would be in fact be selfish and not pleasing to God. Inshallah I meet him again but finds himself with Allah ( God ) before me.
Brother so far watching your story, it is moving and convicting. I have prayed for Him to help me with my selfish ambition and desire for marriage. Waiting hurts but going ahead of God hurts more. Please remember your single brothers and sisters, who struggle with listening to God because of fear and selfishness.
God bless you and your wife!
