God is amazing. This woman is a challenge to us all.
I don’t see how he is all loving, no offense but At age 8 I was raped and from there to age 15 I was bullied, at age 15 I became a Christian and was raped and abused by my ex also during those years was black mailed, trying to commit sucide, self harmed, and a lot more, I’m 18 now and I have major depression, generalized anxiety and eating disorder and I’m being bullied again .. how does god still love me
@@giraffewhiskers2045 I am so sorry for what you have been through and the hard life you've had. We'll never understand in this lifetime the reasons why God allows so much suffering. I believe the powerful words that Helen says she felt God speaking to her -"Can you thank Me for trusting you with this, even if I never tell you why?", these words were truly made for dear people like you to hear and take strength from. I aso take comfort from a quote by Jonathan Evans which states - "Your greatest ministry will come from your greatest misery". If we live this life without God, our hurts and pains are harder to bare. If we live knowing God is using our pain for a greater calling, even if we can't understand right now, we can at least take comfort from the grace and strength He'll give us to get through, if we ask Him and trust in Him each day. Hopefully one day He'll reveal what and why the reasons for all suffering. Til then may God bless you and others who are suffering and give you strength and peace💕
Wonderful servant of the Lord
Speechless. The power of Christ extant in this woman is amazing.
Thank God for Helen teaching and unconditional love for you.
What a Christlike example!
I can't believe I'm just now learning of this lady!
Awesome servant of the Lord. Father in heaven teach your children to love like Jesus. I love my sister Helen in Christ Jesus and I shall meet her in heaven one day! Praise God!
A wonderful servant of God. How much we can learn from the outworking of the grace of God in her life. Sola Deo gloria.
Such encouraging words from a godly woman, praise the Lord!
My arms are weak. I can't explain to myself why I feel that way. 😢
Truly a bride of Jesus..

God loves you so much! Like Dr. Helen was saying sometimes we go through things so that we can encourage someone else down the line. Genesis 50:20 is powerful, it was Joseph speaking to his brothers after they sold him into slavery. It says "You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives" Joseph could have given up on God as his own family set him up and it didn't look like anything would get better but in the end, he became the prime minister of Egypt, forgave his brothers and we see that God turned around the devil's plans and made them good. So I just want to encourage you, don't give up! I am so sorry that this happened to you and I do pray for your healing and I want you to know that there is a plan that God has for you and they are for good :)
@@destinytianna keep telling that to yourself
Funny how I can be gay I just can’t date, you’ve changed the sin to maybe convert us into Christianity yet still say our act of love is a sin, you have no reason to say homosexuality is a sin when the Bible shows poly relationships like solmon and Jacob.. if there was a specific story that talked about 2 man lovers rather then gang rape like Sodom and gemorah or if Jesus talked about a man loving another man.. love and lust are different, rape and love are different and I’m tired of how many people hate me for being gay and not accepting Christ because I can’t be who the fuck I am for a change.. I believe in equality for all so did Jesus, he would be a left in politics because we actually fight for human rights that are still being stolen today
Look at the highest sucide rating it’s from lgbt
Look at the homeless youth of lgbt alone it’s 44% while 10 percent is just homeless youth
Look at the trans people especially women of color
And you tell me to follow god when you can’t even love another human being.. If you did you would support lgbt 🏳️🌈 🏳️⚧️ ⚧
Love the answer above. In addition, will add the following understanding I have.
People - all of us- have been given free will. We can choose Jesus and the way of Love, or we can choose selfishness and the ways of Satan which lead to evil hatred. We can choose to be on the side of Jesus and love and kindness and healing, or on the side of Satan spreading misery and violence, and pain.
It is not too hard to give love in return for love. The really hard part is to remain on the side of Jesus and to continue giving love when we receive evil inflicted by those who have chosen to follow an evil path. In fact, it is probably impossible for humans to do this alone without God’s help. The only way that I know of that we can do this is to allow Jesus into our hearts and then allow Him to love through us- give Him permission to take over and become a force for good through us when we cannot do it ourselves.
I am deeply sorry for the pain you have experienced. I pray you are able to give it all to Jesus and allow him to heal you and work through you to spread healing and help and love in the world.
@@kindnessheals 1 colo 3:4-6 and 1st cor 9:19 talks about not condemning others. Many Christians do that and say it’s in the name of love
I’m a Christian but I’m also naturally drawn to witch stuff, naturally am bisexual
