Hey man, I just want to say thank you for creating this video. I've shared it with so many women in my life and you have no idea how many lives this has changed.
Anusha Khan My beautiful sister let me tell you my story I'm an intellectual black female (33 years old) & have been bullied because I wasn't the "it girl " & I'm also a nerd (think Star Wars meets Star Trek with ADHD ) & sometimes don't feel like I'm "worthy" because of society says I have to act like something I'm not ( the pretty chick on a magazine instead of who I am which is the tomboy who'd rather watch American football( the distant cousin of rugby ) than go to the mall ) but these words inspire me to NOT have to change who I am because society can't get me Know that ur just as beautiful because you are alive Blessing my beautiful anusha
None. I promise you this video did little to anything. These people all have their sob stories and here is a place to talk about it. But the main messege of the video is pretty pathetic and overall just wrong. Not everyone is beautiful. Not everyone is worth dying for. Idek why hes talking to women specifically. You cant control that. Youre just born with it right? Well if thats the case then why cant he celebrate men? Or how about white men? Maybe dont celebrate arbitrarily assigned genetics. Because their is nothing to be shameful or proud of. You want equality yet constantly praise a specific kind of victim and shame a very specific kind of supposed oppressor. All on the basis of the card you were dealt at birth. Not very equal.
remember you are awesome anyone who tells you otherwise they are not right you were born to be awesome not perfect know one is perfect just remember that YOU ARE AWESOME
Im in that now, every once in a while...someone is also out there feeling the same way. Sometimes we need to hear and remind ourselves we are worth it. Remind ourselves that besides god, WE got ourselves and love ourselves first before anyone else. We are stronger than we give ourselves credit for. Getting up everyday and a positive attitude takes alot of strength but we do it because we are strong and we keep taking that next step toward a better day. Never forget how wonderful and beautiful inside and out you are because at the end of the day..we got ourselves. 💪😎💯
I was grew up from the family who wants son not daughter My mom call me slut My dad passed away My grandpa said no one will hire me because I m dumb My grandmother said I m trash No one believed in me I was in suicidal mood since I was 11. Cut myself to death at 13 but I survived. But at 15 I noticed myself that all I have is me the whole time I looked at the mirror the only person who still with me is me The only person who can create the love I needed it Now I got into Tokyo university Got internship at J.P. Morgan . Now I got ppl who appreciate me For me family never come from blood .
Just wanna wish you with positive people and positive energy. May all your wishes come true and they'll come true for sure because you are strong You are determined You are unshakable You are beautiful You are powerful and Most of all YOU ARE YOU Always keep smiling For lord our God is watching over you She'll protect you Because GOD IS A WOMAN
Same. I was going one of the toughest times of my life when this video came out. I will always remember the way this made me feel. It is saved to me favorites. I visits it often to remind myself.
I've been coming back to this video whenever I feel low since last 4 years. It does makes me feel better and get back up. Can't thank this man enough for having done this.
I cried when I listened to this because I forgot who I am. In the hands of a narcissistic husband, I forgot that I am worth dying for and that someone actually did die for me... I forgot who I am...
Sobbing right now too. This helped me lift a huge weight on my shoulders. Ive always had a dependence on guys to make me feel wanted and beautiful and desired. It has affected my self esteem and that has affected my relationships. It felt nice to let some of that go
@hussain ali yes it's true,every self-loving ego arrogant power seeking person are the enemy of Allah/God/The Creator of all. What God wants us to be is to share love. But we are no longer slaves, we are children of God, we are God's best friend, that's why we're on the mission to spread love n joy from the Kingdom of God. Come and learn how Jesus lived, He shows us how to live the purpose why God made humans. "I no longer call you slaves, because a master doesn’t confide in his slaves. Now you are my friends, since I have told you everything the Father told me." John 15:15
World War Now Beauty standards are something that came from the people on earth that is shaped by a society. As a society changes, so do the beauty standars. People may think someone is ugly, when they are actually really beautiful. To God, everyone is beautiful. In looks and in personality. What we call beauty, is only a facade. Everyone is beautiful. Some of us just choose not to see it.
Marissa, have you watched his other video "The Wall"? very inspiring. I went without a job for the whole summer. Applied everywhere and interviewed some. I found a blessing that my last interview they hired me on the spot. I cried on the way home. His other video gives me hope.
pinaybty430 Thanks I'll look it up! I've gone through so many summers filling out so many applications and never gotten hired in the past while I was in college.
Literally 3 hours ago I was crying to god and asking for a sign that he loves me... then this popped up in my feed.. then I read the comments and I want to say: We are not alone...We are loved...We are worth it !
what? god isn't real? he has never been observed and you don't have the mental capability to argue with me because you can only think within the bible also I never said we don't have brains. because we do. and that's why we do have free will. I'm not a pig who follows a story book.
Why are you all arguing on my comment? All I said was thank you, and that God has given him an amazing gift. A personal comment really. Here is what I believe: I believe that Jesus called us to love people unconditionally. Christianity is not about proving others wrong, but about proving others are loved. That's why I am trying my best to not lash out on you, because since I'm a sinner I know I would. But you know what's the best part? I'm a sinner SAVED by grace through the lord Jesus Christ and it is the best thing that's ever happened to me. You call me ignorant and I can see why- I mean who believes in something that no one can see? It's crazy! But I have faith, and that's enough for me. And really, the literal definition of the word "faith" is believing without evidence. But Christian belief has never been about having no evidence: the gospels were written to provide evidence, as the beginning of John's gospel says, "These are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the son of God, and that believing you may have life in his name." But believing without evidence is a common notion of "faith" at present so I expect you to think what you do, really before I be came a Christian I thought the same thing. So, when Christians talk about faith in Christ, they (meaning other people) think there is not evidence, but John's gospel shows that Christianity is an evidence-based faith. Pretty cool, right? Well, at least I think so! I can't change what you believe. But I sure as heck will pray and ask God to change your heart because he's the one who can. So wrapping this text up I will end it here with a simple I'll pray for you and God be with ya.
Arianna Neighbors you really don't know anything do you? accidents can't be beautiful what the fuck? science is literally people observing things that happen everyday. we observe evolution and know 100% that things have evolved since the past and became how they are today because of it. nobody can prove or disprove a god but every bit of evidence is pointing towards that there isn't. I don't cling to science I cling go observation and reason there is not to be observed and no reason within the bible. it simply does not follow the laws and ideas that life follows. it does not make sense and the only reason you believe it is because it was put in front of you. have you thought about that. if you were raised in a Muslim house surrounded by other muslim people 95% of the time you'd grow up believing in Islam because its what you are told to believe. it is you who is clinging to ideas
Hi, me again- sorry- I hope you don't mind me intruding but I just want to say that I never had the bible put in front of me as a kid, I came from a pretty messed up life. But ya'll don't need to know that heh.
what the fluff dont fear people that kill the body.. Fear the ones that kill the soul. You will get a great reward in heaven :) remember to care about gods opinion about you.. God wil judge those bullies right
Alone in my car, tears in my eyes. I thank you for reminding me of how precious I am for God. I don't know when or how but I know things will get better. 🙂
The way he says all this is exactly how I want all women to feel. I wouldn't be able to say any of this empathically and eloquently as he does. But it is how I want women to feel. Special, precious, like a diamond
More than 10 years later your speech has the ability to influence women from all around the globe. This is one of the most beautiful words I've ever heard. Thank you.❤
I just wanted to let you know that whenever I’m feeling at my lowest I’ll listen to this video and it helps me every time. So encouraging and uplifting ❤
I have been going through depression since middle school, now a senior. I have never seen this video. But I fell in love with it because it made me feel important. I love it so much.
+Kat's Bit Of Nothing omg you sound like me. I've gotten out of depression, something I thought would NEVER happen. I'll pray for you, because you've still got hope to come through this too.
Hi. I'm turning 17 in a few weeks and I've suffered from depression for a while. I tried religion but I just don't know what I'm supposed to do. I see a therapist but I don't feel ike it's doing anything. I keep thinking that if I was skinnier, prettier, my life would be better. So please, could you tell me when you realized that you got out of depression? Or what you think helped you to get out of it? I'm just a random teen who needs a bit of hope. Have a good day!
The living God adores you. And the thing I love about our holy father is he will love you regardless. If you mess up and fall he will help you up and be with you all of the way. You are loved. "And you are worth dying for." I hope that you take this message and remember that you are beautiful.
I saw this video about 3 years ago. I was trying to figure out who I really was. I suffered a lot of low self-esteem and had problems with food. Two years ago my life changed: I met Jesus. Jesus told me that I am worthy, loved, and special. I gave my life to God and all the pain is gone. God is great! 🙏❤️
@IRE /I Remix EveryThing Men shouldn't be slaves to women and women shouldn't be slaves to men. They should have mutual love and respect for one another.
I agree. I do not respect men who are only nice to girls they think are 'hot' physically. Its the sad truth in our society, but there will always be a genuinely nice guy out there, and he usually will treat girls, regardless of their looks with respect. It's really sad that the douchebags don't understand that a woman is worth so much more than her appearance. But who needs them? God loves us regardless of our looks, grades, money, etc. 😊
This is beautiful. I don't see why people have disliked this video, I suffer with depression and anxiety and I search for videos like this to boost my confidence and honestly, watching this video has changed me from wanting to end my life to live it. Thank you x
Sobbed 😢 the enemy comes to tell us we are not worthy 💔 we hear it so often and believe it. I truly needed to hear this 🙏🏼 I am worthy and saved by the blood of Jesus.
I Also Cried! I know I'm a Good Person! I know I'm Loved! I know I'm Kind! I know I'm Compassionate, and I know I Love With a Pure Heart! ❤ I know these things! But Now I've got to Believe it in my Mind, Body and God Loving Soul! With God, Everyone Can Believe That Most People Want Love and Goodness in Their Heart!! ❤ I Am Vowing to Concentrate on The inner Love for Myself, and With God, may it Shine, and Give Radiant Reflection of Love to All That See That Love Thru my sometimes sad eyes. But I'm Gonna Really Let God Lead the Way and Show Me Just How! Many Blessings and Love to All! ❤💜💕❤💜💕
My home life isn't the greatest, nor is it the happiness. I feel so lost, confused, and worthless. I feel like a ghost walking this planet trying to figure out what my soul needs to do to be set free. There have been many nights where I wanted to end my life, and at times I still do. But this video, unlike 95% I have watched, has helped me in some little way. Each time my eyes watch this video I feel like the words this amazing man speaks sets me free each time. I just hope one day I can learn to love myself, and know I am worthy. That will be my happy miracle.❤
You are loved!!!! You are worthy!!! You are the daughter of the king!!! Stand tall!! Be brave and know you are loved and never forgotten!!!! He has graven thee upon the palms of his hands!!! This world needs you!!!!! Much ❤️ love!!!
One thing that is really helped me is to keep my focus on the ETERNAL and absolutely NOT on this temporal world which will pass away. Keep your focus. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I needed this, and I'm crying so hard. I feel so tired, out of place, ugly, useless, wasted, stupid,a disappointment. God bless you so much for sharing, saying this from the rock bottom of my heart.
I could honestly watch this over and over again and never get bored out of it because this video is absolutely beautiful and every girl/ woman out there should see this video!
Thank you so much for this video. Personally I know as a 16 year old girl, I always compare myself to others and see if I "fit" into societies view of women or "cool". You really touched my heart and broke me into tears. Your messages are so powerful and captivating, yet so real and pure. Thank you for helping me realize my true potential and all that life has to offer and God has planned for me. This video makes me feel like a can do anything through God even when others say its impossible, I'm not good enough, or just when I need the encouragement. Thank you so much!
Hello Jon. Thank you for making this video. I sent it to my little sister. She informed me that it kept her mind away from suicide. She listens to it every morning. God bless you brother in Christ
God Bless every single person reading this. He is good and answers all good prayers. Love Him, Trust Him, Look up to Him. Proclaim His good word.✝️🙏🏻✝️
Ohhh a Christian saying that biblical god loves women? "Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression." 1 Tim. 2:11-14
Hi I'm Shradha, from India, Mumbai. I can't thank you enough for this video. I listen & start my day with this video. This helps me remind who am I. Extremely grateful to you.
This made me so happy. The fact he mentioned ester. She has been my favorite in my bible sense I was a kid but also my grandmas name was ester, she was beaten my her husband and worked for everything she ever had. She raised 5 kids of her own and helped raise her 11 younger siblings. My grandma was a strong women, I didn't know her but from the stories I've been told she was.
Hey jon.. I think this is what a girl want to hear ..throughout her life.. How can someone dislike this video.. ? But praying for them to lord to say these words atleast to their mother.
I am a 51 yr old woman, I have M.S.and I struggle with pain among other things that I won't get into!! I Love your encouraging words Thankyou God Bless you and your family!!
I had started to cry when I heard my name (my real name is Ruth not elena zumzi ) What an amazing God we have and what awesome we are , His children ! God bless all of you°°♡
The first time I watched this video was grade 7, I think it was 2015 Our computer teacher played it to us That made such a tremendous change in me 🥺 Everytime I feel down , I run here just to hear someone affirm me too Also came a time where I struggled with my singleness and man this carried me through 👏
To all women: You are worth everything Your are perfect You are loved You are kind You are beautiful You aren't ugly You aren't nothing You aren't disrespected You aren't following satan You are Awesome Don't forget that
@ Paige Thomas To all women : You love deceiving yourself and the others You serve Satan today even better than the demons themselves. Abortions , mass divorce , destruction of marriage and family is your masterpiece Be proud of it Be proud to follow Satan .
@ Paige Thomas " You are perfect" I ma yet to find ONE MAN in the Bible thinking he is perfect. I cannot believe how self-centered and deceived by own sex can be.
This video has literally changed my life. When I watched it I wasn't thinking about building a relationship with Christ but now I have one and doing so much better today than I was then. I'm so grateful!!! God is so awesome!!!
Honestly saying...I was scrolling you tube listening to spiritual leaders, chatting with friends....just to feel positive....bcs I was disturbed by some incident....and this came my way....and I listened him with these wet eyes....and thanking him form the core of my heart Today's world is very brutal for girls...and in this scenerio feeling scared, anxious for the crimes is so normal....and then finding things like is pure bliss ❤️
i watched and heard this video years ago for a couple of times, and I was reminded of this today. Wow! after 10 yrs, this message still carries a lot of impact. Praise the Lord!
I am trembling right now. I am absolutely awestruck. A few years ago I found this video on Facebook and I remember watching it over and over again while I bawled my eyes out. I was in a really bad place in my life. I remember feeling the power in this video as I cried out to God to help me see my worth. I wanted so badly to see the value of my life. I shared the video and probably cried myself to sleep that night. Fast forward about two years and I was again in a pretty bad place in my faith. I happened across another one of your videos and I quickly subscribed to your channel having no clue that you were the creator of this video. Today, I just happen to look at your oldest videos and I find this one. Jon if you happen to read this I just want to say thank you. It was very evident before that God is using you in amazing ways for His glory but now I am just blown away. Your videos have meant a lot to me in the past and they continue to give me strength to this day. If you're reading this I just want to say how grateful I am to have found your videos and that what you're doing is awesome so don't ever stop!!
This video literally saved my life. I have found myself in a very dark place and did not know why. My friend Claudette sent me this video a day ago. After watching it, I couldn't stop crying, I couldn't believe someone out there knew exactly how I was feeling. I now listen to it several times a day. I sent it to all the women in my life. Thank you very much for such an inspiring work.
This video really touched me because growing up I had no confidence and felt worthless and unloveable. And it brought me back, I couldn't stop crying after I watch this! Thank you for making such a beautiful and powerful video! I wanted to share my story so here it is:) God bless! I will never forget the first moment I experienced Jesus Christ in a real and personal way. At the time, I was four years old and barely able to sit still during church services. On this day, our teachers gathered us into a circle and told us, “Today you can accept Jesus Christ into your heart” I closed my eyes, folded my hands and I felt my heart beat with passion. I felt the love of no other, that my face couldn’t help but glow in excitement. Accepting Jesus Christ into my heart felt like it was the beginning of an unbelievable journey. That day was the first day that I asked Jesus to be apart of my life. I grew up in a practicing Christian family environment with my older brother Jeff and my parents Marilyn and Greg. My family would attend church every Sunday, including holidays. Our church choir would light up the stage with their performance with every type of instrument and the most talented vocalists. The music was one of my favorite parts of attending church because it was my own way of communicating with my savior. Also, music was my way of expressing my love and loyalty to him. Our church was always filled with such passion that you couldn’t walk out of the building with out feeling pure love for Jesus Christ. However, by the time I reached my teens I started to lose touch with my faith. Even though my religion meant the world to me, I was never prepared for the judgmental world ahead of me. I even wonder how I began as a happy child that always smiled and laughed and then have that happiness ripped out of my hands like it never happened. In the seventh grade I was bullied so badly that I development an eating disorder called Anorexia. People would constantly call me hurtful names that I became obsessed with trying to fit their standards. I was trapped so deeply in this routine that I finally broke down to the point were I became severely depressed. I lost every hope of believing that I was more than a number on a scale. While depressed I struggled with my relationship with God because I blamed him for my own mistakes. Society’s twisted image of beauty had affected me so badly, that I didn’t think of myself worthy enough unless I skipped a few meals here and there. Also the pressures to be perfect really pulled me away from reality to the point that I lost my enjoyment in life, and most importantly confidence in myself. I had fallen so far off God’s path that there were days that I thought I didn’t deserve his forgiveness. However the truth was that I needed to believe in myself just like Christ had always believed in me. I prayed every night for God to show me a way out. And one-day God had answered my prayers; God had given me the courage I needed to fight for my life. Jesus made me realize that I had the strength all along. Even though I found the courage to change my life, it was never easy. It was the hardest thing I ever had to do, but I repeatedly told myself “it’s either now or never”. I believe relationships are never perfect therefore my relationship with God has had its ups and downs but God was always there for me. Having Depression or an eating disorder can seem like an embarrassment to most people but I see it as my strength. It’s not something I’m ashamed of because without it I wouldn’t be the person I am today. I’m no longer a prisoner in my life because I’m not only changed on the inside but as a Christian I’m changed for the better. Even though it’s apart of me now and in some ways always has been, my past has not destroyed me, nor does it define me. My past has only strengthened the person I’ve become. God has been my guardian angel through all these difficult battles I’ve faced. Therefore, I now live by the verse “I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength” (Philippians 4:13)
God Is Amazing!! I am so Glad I have God in my life. When i was young i was immature, deceiving and not a follower of God.. I was a false Christian, thinking if i went to church and read the bible would allow me eternal life.. I was wrong!! Once I finally gave up and said " God Please take my Life and help me understand your LOVE, I need and want your love, Work me, mold me as I am Your Creation" and with those words, i gave my soul and body to my FATHER "Jesus". God Bless
thank you for your kind words. honestly the only reason I have no affiliations with a religion is because many of the elders in the communities i have met so far have offered no hope only judgement. This channel seems to bring many of the good to the surface. I will try to implement some self pride and keep looking for a community that shows love first and no judgement. thank you
Jon, this never gets old! I come back and watch it from time to time and an lifted up more and more. I love sharing this with my friends. please keep doing these type videos! Thank you!
This video brought tears in my eyes. Lately I've been that I'm worthless and not worthy to be loved by the one I love. My past haunts me and couldn't think of my bright future which I can create all by myself. This video gave me so much of strength and taught me a lesson to value my worth. My heartiest Thank you for sharing this amazing video.
Similar story. My best friend (girl) had an extremely toxic relationship with her now ex-boyfriend. She was extremely depressed and anxious about every guy. I decided to send her this video plus my own words. She felt so strong and beautiful again. Because of this, we are now together 😊. Also to all of the men out there, it is so much easier to do nice things for a women other than to be toxic and abuse them :)
I don't know if you will ever see this message but it is important for you to hear. My daughter who is 15 years old and has been a cutter for the past two years as well as tried to commit suicide two or three times has been listening to this video on and off since it's creation. Tonight, as I was talking with her after she was released from the hospital three weeks ago, she proceeded to quote your video verbatim. Word for Word. The words that she stated pierced me. Not only because it made me think of this video but because it made me realize that videos such as this transforms our lives. Please, do not stop what you are doing. Please, continue to speak the words that God gives you. It will mean life or death to those who hear it. This was proven by my daughter who quoted this video to fellow cutters in her group therapy. They too were deeply touched and the Holy Spirit moved upon them to touch their hearts and their spirits. It is this very video that has made me realize how modern media affects our children. God bless you and keep you. You are loved. So very loved. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!
That is such a touching story! People that are dealing with trials such these need to know that God loves them no matter what they do. We will sin. It’s just a part of life. Only one person was perfect and “without fault”- Jesus Christ. And He suffered our many afflictions so that He could help us. To complete the Atonement, He then gave His life for us in a cross in Calvary after being mercilessly mocked and scorned by those who wanted His power.I testify that the Holy Ghost will help us through our many trials. That doesn’t mean if we are righteous, that we won’t face challenges. It just means we won’t face them alone.

JonJorgenson what the title soundtrack in video?
Music: "Sailing Again" by Joe Mendick and Kyle Selig
There’s a difference between “like” and “love”. There needs to be a “love” button for videos like his.
There must be a love button for "your" comment too.
(Aditi Shukla)
I loved your comment too💕God bless your heart 🙏💕
Yeasss!Yeasss!
Embry Milo you are my kind of person
I definitely agree 💯
You may never know how many lives you have saved.❤
Anusha Khan
My beautiful sister let me tell you my story
I'm an intellectual black female (33 years old) & have been bullied because I wasn't the "it girl " & I'm also a nerd (think Star Wars meets Star Trek with ADHD ) & sometimes don't feel like I'm "worthy" because of society says I have to act like something I'm not ( the pretty chick on a magazine instead of who I am which is the tomboy who'd rather watch American football( the distant cousin of rugby ) than go to the mall ) but these words inspire me to NOT have to change who I am because society can't get me
Know that ur just as beautiful because you are alive
Blessing my beautiful anusha
Anusha Khan Amen to that.
Faith Thomas Wow! I can relate! I don’t really understand football because I’m usually outside playing sports.
hussain ali Jesus is Only Way to Heaven!
None. I promise you this video did little to anything. These people all have their sob stories and here is a place to talk about it. But the main messege of the video is pretty pathetic and overall just wrong. Not everyone is beautiful. Not everyone is worth dying for. Idek why hes talking to women specifically. You cant control that. Youre just born with it right? Well if thats the case then why cant he celebrate men? Or how about white men? Maybe dont celebrate arbitrarily assigned genetics. Because their is nothing to be shameful or proud of. You want equality yet constantly praise a specific kind of victim and shame a very specific kind of supposed oppressor. All on the basis of the card you were dealt at birth. Not very equal.
This video should be watched by every women on the earth...
I agree with you
@ Rehana Sultana
Beware of the devil. The way he is elevating women today is totally unscriptural.
Yes absolutely
@ R S
So that every woman on earth can think she is awesome and flawless .
The devil is cunning .
I agree
9 years later and the Holy Spirit lead me back to this video when I most needed it
Yes!!! They should this video at a session of FSY that I went to, and so many girls were crying and hugging! This is SO true!!!
We're blessed to hear how much God loves us, especially when we most need it.
Amenn ❤
That just happened to me and it moved me to tears. I felt empowered ❤
same here
I listened to this in my bed in the dark and just smiled and cried. This really made me feel my worth.
Me too.
remember you are awesome anyone who tells you otherwise they are not right you were born to be awesome not perfect know one is perfect just remember that YOU ARE AWESOME
Im in that now, every once in a while...someone is also out there feeling the same way. Sometimes we need to hear and remind ourselves we are worth it. Remind ourselves that besides god, WE got ourselves and love ourselves first before anyone else. We are stronger than we give ourselves credit for. Getting up everyday and a positive attitude takes alot of strength but we do it because we are strong and we keep taking that next step toward a better day. Never forget how wonderful and beautiful inside and out you are because at the end of the day..we got ourselves. 💪😎💯
Same here u not only one Amen
Same here
I was grew up from the family who wants son not daughter
My mom call me slut
My dad passed away
My grandpa said no one will hire me because I m dumb
My grandmother said I m trash
No one believed in me
I was in suicidal mood since I was 11.
Cut myself to death at 13 but I survived.
But at 15 I noticed myself that all I have is me the whole time
I looked at the mirror the only person who still with me is me
The only person who can create the love I needed it
Now I got into Tokyo university
Got internship at J.P. Morgan .
Now I got ppl who appreciate me
For me family never come from blood .
Just wanna wish you with positive people and positive energy.
May all your wishes come true and they'll come true for sure because
you are strong
You are determined
You are unshakable
You are beautiful
You are powerful and
Most of all
YOU ARE YOU

Same. I was going one of the toughest times of my life when this video came out. I will always remember the way this made me feel. It is saved to me favorites. I visits it often to remind myself.
I've been coming back to this video whenever I feel low since last 4 years. It does makes me feel better and get back up. Can't thank this man enough for having done this.
I cried when I listened to this because I forgot who I am. In the hands of a narcissistic husband, I forgot that I am worth dying for and that someone actually did die for me... I forgot who I am...
Sobbing right now too. This helped me lift a huge weight on my shoulders. Ive always had a dependence on guys to make me feel wanted and beautiful and desired. It has affected my self esteem and that has affected my relationships. It felt nice to let some of that go
hussain ali you need to go to the living God Jesus Christ. He is only Way to Heaven,to the Kingdom of God.
@hussain ali yes it's true,every self-loving ego arrogant power seeking person are the enemy of Allah/God/The Creator of all. What God wants us to be is to share love.
But we are no longer slaves, we are children of God, we are God's best friend, that's why we're on the mission to spread love n joy from the Kingdom of God.
Come and learn how Jesus lived, He shows us how to live the purpose why God made humans.
"I no longer call you slaves, because a master doesn’t confide in his slaves. Now you are my friends, since I have told you everything the Father told me."
John 15:15
Just leave the goddamn bitch
No need to make a fuss
God bless you, some of us really needed to hear that 💞
If there was a god why did it make people that requires to here this to feel good about themselves
Better yet, why make ugly people at all
Beulah O definitely second you.
World War Now Beauty standards are something that came from the people on earth that is shaped by a society. As a society changes, so do the beauty standars. People may think someone is ugly, when they are actually really beautiful. To God, everyone is beautiful. In looks and in personality. What we call beauty, is only a facade. Everyone is beautiful. Some of us just choose not to see it.
CptObvious why are you here?
hussain ali repent and turn to Lord God Jesus Christ or you will burn in hell with false allah! Jesus is only Way to Heaven!
Two job interviews today! No matter what happens as a result of these interviews, I trust in God's timing!
a bit late but good luck.have faith :D
Thank you! I've gone five interviews total and I have one more next week and that's pretty much it.
+GodGirl78 I was offered a job from the second interview and accepted the position. It was also my first choice too! God is good!💙
Marissa, have you watched his other video "The Wall"? very inspiring. I went without a job for the whole summer. Applied everywhere and interviewed some. I found a blessing that my last interview they hired me on the spot. I cried on the way home. His other video gives me hope.
pinaybty430 Thanks I'll look it up! I've gone through so many summers filling out so many applications and never gotten hired in the past while I was in college.

Literally 3 hours ago I was crying to god and asking for a sign that he loves me...
then this popped up in my feed..
then I read the comments and I want to say:
We are not alone...We are loved...We are worth it !
Happened to me too
Same thing happening with me
See, the signs are right in front of us if we know where to look
Oohh my god!! Same happended with me ...but i waited for 3 days
Amen! We are worth it!
I’m not a very emotional person but I cried because my life is so so hard thank you so much for this it’s a beautiful message
I hope you doing great now
Anna Banana I respect that
God Bless you Anna...Prayers to Father Gods Love to Pour Out Upon You..His anointing of love to bring healing and deliverance in Jesus name
Anna Banana I cried too😭
After almost 10 years, I still listen to this almost every week! It is powerful!
It’s 2022 and I still come back to this 💜
Oh gosh I started crying... I really needed this today. Thank you!!! God has given you a great gift.
how can that which is not real, Still give gifts
what? god isn't real? he has never been observed and you don't have the mental capability to argue with me because you can only think within the bible also I never said we don't have brains. because we do. and that's why we do have free will. I'm not a pig who follows a story book.
Why are you all arguing on my comment? All I said was thank you, and that God has given him an amazing gift. A personal comment really.
Here is what I believe: I believe that Jesus called us to love people unconditionally. Christianity is not about proving others wrong, but about proving others are loved. That's why I am trying my best to not lash out on you, because since I'm a sinner I know I would. But you know what's the best part? I'm a sinner SAVED by grace through the lord Jesus Christ and it is the best thing that's ever happened to me. You call me ignorant and I can see why- I mean who believes in something that no one can see? It's crazy!
But I have faith, and that's enough for me. And really, the literal definition of the word "faith" is believing without evidence. But Christian belief has never been about having no evidence: the gospels were written to provide evidence, as the beginning of John's gospel says, "These are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the son of God, and that believing you may have life in his name." But believing without evidence is a common notion of "faith" at present so I expect you to think what you do, really before I be came a Christian I thought the same thing. So, when Christians talk about faith in Christ, they (meaning other people) think there is not evidence, but John's gospel shows that Christianity is an evidence-based faith.
Pretty cool, right? Well, at least I think so!
I can't change what you believe. But I sure as heck will pray and ask God to change your heart because he's the one who can. So wrapping this text up I will end it here with a simple I'll pray for you and God be with ya.
Arianna Neighbors you really don't know anything do you? accidents can't be beautiful what the fuck? science is literally people observing things that happen everyday. we observe evolution and know 100% that things have evolved since the past and became how they are today because of it. nobody can prove or disprove a god but every bit of evidence is pointing towards that there isn't. I don't cling to science I cling go observation and reason there is not to be observed and no reason within the bible. it simply does not follow the laws and ideas that life follows. it does not make sense and the only reason you believe it is because it was put in front of you. have you thought about that. if you were raised in a Muslim house surrounded by other muslim people 95% of the time you'd grow up believing in Islam because its what you are told to believe. it is you who is clinging to ideas
Hi, me again- sorry- I hope you don't mind me intruding but I just want to say that I never had the bible put in front of me as a kid, I came from a pretty messed up life. But ya'll don't need to know that heh.
when I go to school I listen to this ...it makes me feel beautiful when the bully's make me feel like the most worthless ugliest person in the world
In God's eyes, you are beautiful and precious to him. And that's all that matters. What the bullies think does not.
what the fluff dont fear people that kill the body.. Fear the ones that kill the soul. You will get a great reward in heaven :) remember to care about gods opinion about you.. God wil judge those bullies right
what the fluff you are awesome and strong!
what the fluff You are too beautiful and smart to spare your time for those bullies. their not worthy of your time...

Thank you so much.

Thank you. :D
Hi. I'm turning 17 in a few weeks and I've suffered from depression for a while. I tried religion but I just don't know what I'm supposed to do. I see a therapist but I don't feel ike it's doing anything. I keep thinking that if I was skinnier, prettier, my life would be better. So please, could you tell me when you realized that you got out of depression? Or what you think helped you to get out of it? I'm just a random teen who needs a bit of hope. Have a good day!
I still watch this is 2024 💯❤️
I literally started crying because last night I was worried that no one loves me and that I'll always be alone and now I'm bawling my eyes out❤️

Also on Sunday here:)
I saw this video about 3 years ago. I was trying to figure out who I really was. I suffered a lot of low self-esteem and had problems with food. Two years ago my life changed: I met Jesus. Jesus told me that I am worthy, loved, and special. I gave my life to God and all the pain is gone. God is great! 🙏❤️
All glory to God!
Thank you for sharing, dear sister.
Amen! 🥺❤️
You are beautiful 😊😊.
Yes GOD IS EVERYTHING. He is ALWAYS there NO MATTER WHAT.
I am trying so hard to find Jesus in my life. I dont really feel him. Is it cos i lack faith?
Like who smiled by watching it❤️❤️
I respect only those men who respect women!
Chitra Maurya True
Chitra Maurya...here here!..very few and far between sadly..
@IRE /I Remix EveryThing Men shouldn't be slaves to women and women shouldn't be slaves to men. They should have mutual love and respect for one another.
I agree. I do not respect men who are only nice to girls they think are 'hot' physically. Its the sad truth in our society, but there will always be a genuinely nice guy out there, and he usually will treat girls, regardless of their looks with respect. It's really sad that the douchebags don't understand that a woman is worth so much more than her appearance. But who needs them? God loves us regardless of our looks, grades, money, etc. 😊

My home life isn't the greatest, nor is it the happiness. I feel so lost, confused, and worthless. I feel like a ghost walking this planet trying to figure out what my soul needs to do to be set free. There have been many nights where I wanted to end my life, and at times I still do. But this video, unlike 95% I have watched, has helped me in some little way. Each time my eyes watch this video I feel like the words this amazing man speaks sets me free each time. I just hope one day I can learn to love myself, and know I am worthy. That will be my happy miracle.❤
You are loved!!!! You are worthy!!! You are the daughter of the king!!! Stand tall!! Be brave and know you are loved and never forgotten!!!! He has graven thee upon the palms of his hands!!! This world needs you!!!!! Much ❤️ love!!!

Thank you for helping me realize my true potential and all that life has to offer and God has planned for me.

Ohhh a Christian saying that biblical god loves women?
"Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression." 1 Tim. 2:11-14
Amen.

I am trembling right now. I am absolutely awestruck. A few years ago I found this video on Facebook and I remember watching it over and over again while I bawled my eyes out. I was in a really bad place in my life. I remember feeling the power in this video as I cried out to God to help me see my worth. I wanted so badly to see the value of my life. I shared the video and probably cried myself to sleep that night. Fast forward about two years and I was again in a pretty bad place in my faith. I happened across another one of your videos and I quickly subscribed to your channel having no clue that you were the creator of this video. Today, I just happen to look at your oldest videos and I find this one. Jon if you happen to read this I just want to say thank you. It was very evident before that God is using you in amazing ways for His glory but now I am just blown away. Your videos have meant a lot to me in the past and they continue to give me strength to this day. If you're reading this I just want to say how grateful I am to have found your videos and that what you're doing is awesome so don't ever stop!!
This video literally saved my life. I have found myself in a very dark place and did not know why. My friend Claudette sent me this video a day ago. After watching it, I couldn't stop crying, I couldn't believe someone out there knew exactly how I was feeling. I now listen to it several times a day. I sent it to all the women in my life. Thank you very much for such an inspiring work.
This video really touched me because growing up I had no confidence and felt worthless and unloveable. And it brought me back, I couldn't stop crying after I watch this! Thank you for making such a beautiful and powerful video! I wanted to share my story so here it is:) God bless!
I will never forget the first moment I experienced Jesus Christ in a real and personal way. At the time, I was four years old and barely able to sit still during church services. On this day, our teachers gathered us into a circle and told us, “Today you can accept Jesus Christ into your heart” I closed my eyes, folded my hands and I felt my heart beat with passion. I felt the love of no other, that my face couldn’t help but glow in excitement. Accepting Jesus Christ into my heart felt like it was the beginning of an unbelievable journey. That day was the first day that I asked Jesus to be apart of my life.
I grew up in a practicing Christian family environment with my older brother Jeff and my parents Marilyn and Greg. My family would attend church every Sunday, including holidays. Our church choir would light up the stage with their performance with every type of instrument and the most talented vocalists. The music was one of my favorite parts of attending church because it was my own way of communicating with my savior. Also, music was my way of expressing my love and loyalty to him. Our church was always filled with such passion that you couldn’t walk out of the building with out feeling pure love for Jesus Christ.
However, by the time I reached my teens I started to lose touch with my faith. Even though my religion meant the world to me, I was never prepared for the judgmental world ahead of me. I even wonder how I began as a happy child that always smiled and laughed and then have that happiness ripped out of my hands like it never happened. In the seventh grade I was bullied so badly that I development an eating disorder called Anorexia. People would constantly call me hurtful names that I became obsessed with trying to fit their standards. I was trapped so deeply in this routine that I finally broke down to the point were I became severely depressed. I lost every hope of believing that I was more than a number on a scale.
While depressed I struggled with my relationship with God because I blamed him for my own mistakes. Society’s twisted image of beauty had affected me so badly, that I didn’t think of myself worthy enough unless I skipped a few meals here and there. Also the pressures to be perfect really pulled me away from reality to the point that I lost my enjoyment in life, and most importantly confidence in myself. I had fallen so far off God’s path that there were days that I thought I didn’t deserve his forgiveness. However the truth was that I needed to believe in myself just like Christ had always believed in me. I prayed every night for God to show me a way out. And one-day God had answered my prayers; God had given me the courage I needed to fight for my life. Jesus made me realize that I had the strength all along. Even though I found the courage to change my life, it was never easy. It was the hardest thing I ever had to do, but I repeatedly told myself “it’s either now or never”.
I believe relationships are never perfect therefore my relationship with God has had its ups and downs but God was always there for me. Having Depression or an eating disorder can seem like an embarrassment to most people but I see it as my strength. It’s not something I’m ashamed of because without it I wouldn’t be the person I am today. I’m no longer a prisoner in my life because I’m not only changed on the inside but as a Christian I’m changed for the better. Even though it’s apart of me now and in some ways always has been, my past has not destroyed me, nor does it define me. My past has only strengthened the person I’ve become. God has been my guardian angel through all these difficult battles I’ve faced. Therefore, I now live by the verse “I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength” (Philippians 4:13)
Beautiful 🥰
I watch this very often. Have been for years and it still runs through me and brings me to tears. Absolutely beautiful.
How has it changed you?
2019 and still my favorite video EVER❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Saw this first in 2014
God Is Amazing!! I am so Glad I have God in my life. When i was young i was immature, deceiving and not a follower of God.. I was a false Christian, thinking if i went to church and read the bible would allow me eternal life.. I was wrong!! Once I finally gave up and said " God Please take my Life and help me understand your LOVE, I need and want your love, Work me, mold me as I am Your Creation" and with those words, i gave my soul and body to my FATHER "Jesus". God Bless
it's odd because i'm not religious but this fills me with strength
thank you for your kind words. honestly the only reason I have no affiliations with a religion is because many of the elders in the communities i have met so far have offered no hope only judgement. This channel seems to bring many of the good to the surface. I will try to implement some self pride and keep looking for a community that shows love first and no judgement. thank you
Hummingbird Wispers That's because it's true for you too! And I am so happy to hear that.
DelightInAfrica :D way to ruin my moment
Emilia Bugg yes! It is still a good message to live by, even if you aren't religious!
it is not about religion , it is about Relationship with God.
Jon, this never gets old! I come back and watch it from time to time and an lifted up more and more. I love sharing this with my friends. please keep doing these type videos! Thank you!
Thank you so much!😢😢
"You are worthy of LOVE and AFFECTION, you are never too much and you are always enough" I watch this almost daily and that part still gets me...
OMG THANK YOU FOR THIS 😭😭😭 --even after a thousand years theses words will reach whom they were intended for
God bless every woman who listens to this video
This video brought tears in my eyes. Lately I've been that I'm worthless and not worthy to be loved by the one I love. My past haunts me and couldn't think of my bright future which I can create all by myself. This video gave me so much of strength and taught me a lesson to value my worth. My heartiest Thank you for sharing this amazing video.
regardless if you believe in God..God believes in you and your still awesome! Thank you for this reminder.
+Niki Roccaforte Awww that post it´s quite beautiful!!
My boyfriend just sent me the link of this video. i feel so blessed to have him.
Sharon Srishty that's so sweet of him 😁😁
awwww I want a boyfriend like that
Similar story. My best friend (girl) had an extremely toxic relationship with her now ex-boyfriend. She was extremely depressed and anxious about every guy. I decided to send her this video plus my own words. She felt so strong and beautiful again. Because of this, we are now together 😊. Also to all of the men out there, it is so much easier to do nice things for a women other than to be toxic and abuse them :)
Sharon Srishty Too lucky
I have been listening to this video for the past 7 years and today I believe every positive word, which has been spoken over my life. Amen!
DR Rorpopor spell on UA-cam you are a God sent to me thank you for helping me to get back my marriage....?💯❣️
I needed this.....wow Jesus thank you
Yeah. I have chills and I can feel myself happy-crying on the inside.
I don't know if you will ever see this message but it is important for you to hear. My daughter who is 15 years old and has been a cutter for the past two years as well as tried to commit suicide two or three times has been listening to this video on and off since it's creation. Tonight, as I was talking with her after she was released from the hospital three weeks ago, she proceeded to quote your video verbatim. Word for Word. The words that she stated pierced me. Not only because it made me think of this video but because it made me realize that videos such as this transforms our lives. Please, do not stop what you are doing. Please, continue to speak the words that God gives you. It will mean life or death to those who hear it. This was proven by my daughter who quoted this video to fellow cutters in her group therapy. They too were deeply touched and the Holy Spirit moved upon them to touch their hearts and their spirits. It is this very video that has made me realize how modern media affects our children. God bless you and keep you. You are loved. So very loved. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!
That is such a touching story! People that are dealing with trials such these need to know that God loves them no matter what they do. We will sin. It’s just a part of life. Only one person was perfect and “without fault”- Jesus Christ. And He suffered our many afflictions so that He could help us. To complete the Atonement, He then gave His life for us in a cross in Calvary after being mercilessly mocked and scorned by those who wanted His power.I testify that the Holy Ghost will help us through our many trials. That doesn’t mean if we are righteous, that we won’t face challenges. It just means we won’t face them alone.
I seriously needed this....thank you
