Anybody ever just wanna give God a hug?

I started drinking when I was 16. I would drink at parties, but I also started drinking alone because I was unhappy, and I was in a lot of emotional pain all the time. My mom was very aggressive when I was younger, and my brother hated her and so did I. He started hanging out with shady people, he started failing all his classes, he was never home, and my parents fought all the time. I also ran away several times. I was always trying to figure out a reason as to why I was here or what the purpose of life was. So, I started looking at different philosophies, religions, and beliefs. When I was 18 after I was hungover, I got on my knees and I prayed for the first time. I asked if God was real that he would show me he was real because I couldn’t take it anymore. I was crying when I prayed for this. At that moment I felt a presence come over me like a wind. It was barely noticeable, but it was unlike anything in my life I had experienced up until that point. I was surprised when I felt it and I remember saying “what was that?” after that experience I pretty much forgot what happened and kept partying, until my senior year when I got arrested. After my arrest, my parents lost all their trust in me and I was expelled from high school. I was told never to come back to my school. At that time, I felt afraid and hopeless. That’s when I started looking for God, and I prayed that he would reveal himself in my life and that he would give me signs. My prayers began getting answered so consistently that I couldn’t deny that God was doing something. It was mysterious and compelling. I ended up in Church and started reading the bible hours a day. I stopped hanging out with all my other friends because they were continually getting arrested. I was able to forgive my family and myself and to ask to be forgiven. I noticed how at Church people were judgmental and how they formed cliques but were afraid to be around anyone else different from them. It increased my faith because I realized Jesus was not like that and ever since I was young, I saw people as people regardless of who they were. After a while, it’s like I could see God's presence was in my life and then it felt like he wasn’t, and then he was, and then he wasn’t. One day I woke up and felt more depressed than I ever have in my entire life. I felt like I was dying on the inside. That night I prayed, and I said, God, I don’t see my life five years from now I'm going to die Jesus save me Lord, please save me. I was weeping when I said it and when I asked him to save me, I felt a presence inside of me like a heartbeat, and I felt it once like a pulse, and I said Lord please save me and I felt it again even stronger. It was like radiance. When I woke up the next morning, I had transformed everything felt brand new like I was a kid again. All my fears and all my racing thoughts everything was gone. I looked at my hands, and I said this can’t be real, it's impossible. When I looked at myself in the mirror, I saw a different person. I started praying, and the holy spirit became entirely real to me; it was washing over me and inside of me. It was total love and peace, and I heard a voice but not an audible one, it was an inner voice. It said I am with you; I love you, I will never leave you, it’s done it’s finished. That was May 3rd, 2009, and ever since then I’ve followed God, I have seen many things change and many things I know wouldn’t have changed without faith and belief. I know what it’s like to be lost to feel you have no hope. Don’t ever think you’re stuck, or life can’t change because it can. My mom is a Christian now, Its night and day. Some of the things that went away during that period were severe anxiety and my addiction to alcohol. I’ve seen and experienced so many things that are miraculous and seen how God has worked in my life. When we ask God to forgive us for what we’ve done and turn away from our sins and wrongdoings and we believe in Christ's sacrifice everything changes. His word says if we confess with our mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in our hearts that he died and rose again we will have eternal life but not just life after death but abundant life in the present. Our sins are erased not only past, present, and future but our burdens and fears are lifted also. Our thoughts, our minds, our hearts, our souls are transformed and united with God and we know his spirit lives in us. If you seek, pray, and knock you will know JESUS IS KING!!! HE LIVES!

If you are reading this God bless you and your family. Lord will always be with you. 😊

If God was easily angry, this world cannot endure until this day. Hallelujah for your mercy and forgiveness.

Basically, People say "Where is God in all the evil in the world" and yet they still complain when God "acts against those evil in the world, calling him a Tyrant or something else" pretty ironic right?

THANK YOU GOD FOR BEING SLOW TO ANGER COUNTLESS TIMES IN MY LIFE WHEN I WAS STILL BEING ARROGANT & STUBBORN...I LOVE YOU KING FOR BEING PATIENT WITH ME

I love this so much! I am only 11 years old but I am trying to learn more about God because I know he can help me with the problems and trials that I am dealing with right now and in future times.

"God gets angry when humans oppress each other" If only more people understood this instead of using God as an excuse or scapegoat for them to oppress others.

'“I love You, O Lord , my strength.” ' - Psalms 18:1

God gets angry when we go against his will because he loves us. A loving father definitely has a right to correct his children. Yet he is slow to Anger

I’m someone who lives with Depression and Generalized Anxiety and I always worried that God will strike me down in anger. This video is so comforting 😭

20 years, it took 20 years until I came back to Him.

There are two kinds of people in this world. Those who bend their knee to God and say to Him, "Your will be done;" and those who refuse to bend their knee to God and God says to them, "Your will be done." - C.S. Lewis

I never saw these parallels before! Like how Pharaoh started off drowning children, then meets his death by drowning. Or how when Israel worshipped the gods of other nations, God hands them over to those nations. THIS IS SO PROFOUND!

Thank you LORD for giving me time to change even after falling to sin again and again even after being born again ❤❤

Lord Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life: No one comes to the Father, except through Him.

The art is amazing. The whole team is leveling up for God!

A lot of clearity. This must be what Jesus means when he say be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry

These videos can seriously lead someone to salvation! I deeply admire your excellence in these short videos. You are giving the best to God and his children. Y’all have rewards in heaven!

Your spiritual gift of decoding Biblical concepts (analogies, parallels, and overall understanding the Word) and explaining it to a skeptical world is truly a GREAT BLESSING to many. 🥺God speaks through these videos 💜 So grateful for this channel and the people behind this. You guys rock. God Bless!

God is so AWESOME! Patient, merciful and forgiving. I owe my life to him.

"God gets angry when humans opress each other and ruin His good world"✨ Moral of the story:Be kind💕

This is an absolutely perfect explanation of how God is slow to anger

i tell my son all the time "Be quick to LOVE" and "Slow to anger"🕊🙂

I was really angry and sad today and then this video popped up and I’m calm thank you ☺️

Beautiful imagery (as always), but an incredible leap forward in sound design. Stunning audio exegesis. Keep up the good work.

God your will be done and ways are higher than mines, your words are even louder than mines. I surrender to your will and not my will.. in Jesus mighty name AMEN

I absolutely LOVE this channel. I really believe even as adults, animation and taking the “Sunday school” approach to the Bible is so important. It helps my understanding of God, his word and his character

This is the first time I noticed that The ancient Egyptians were destroyed in the same way they destroyed the sons of Israel. I've heard this story my whole and that's the first time I put those two things together. And to see that that's a common theme throughout the scriptures is crazy. Talk about poetic justice.

Very subtle hint here: The golden bulls become the Roman eagle and then a temple dome and so forth until the last image is a modern cityscape with "golden" billboards. As in our new gods.

Glory be to God, for you're Grace and Mercy.🙌🏽❤🙏🏽

*Working out his plan to restore people to Love* He is merciful❤

Whoever storyboarded this is a genius, plain and simple.

Proverbs 29:11 "A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards."

Yes, God is certainly slow to anger. All the wickedness in this world and He still gives us an opportunity to give our lives to Christ. He could destroy the world today and have the right to, but He doesn't desire for any of us to perish. God is so good. 😭🖤🙏🏽

I love God with all I have, he has rescued me and given the chance for all of mankind to be rescued. Never doubt the unbelievable mercy and Grace of the only living God. Turn to Jesus and repent…..watch how you suddenly live a life of love, see how spiritual strongholds are defeated watch how you live a life of obedience in the presence of our father……AMEN

I am so grateful for God's compassion and His willingness to work with me, the chief of sinners. He should have abandoned me long ago, as I blasphemed His good name, and persecuted His children for their faith. One day, I found myself sitting in a jail cell, facing 30 yrs in prison. I had no fight left. No more blasphemes. I begged God to forgive my utter selfishness, and disbelief. I truly meant the words that I was speaking, and God responded right away. It's been 3.5 yrs now, and my life is unrecognizable from the awful man that I used to be. I am healed and whole through my Savior, Jesus Christ!! I am still facing 20 yrs and I am going to plead guilty in 2 days time. I am quite nervous about it, because my earthly judge could give me all 20 of those years if she so chooses. I won't know until the very day I get sentenced. Please pray for me and my family, as losing me would be very hard on them. I will just continue to trust in my Holy Father because I know that He does ALL things well. God bless you (The reader), and also The Bible Project for making such uplifting content for my heart. Grace and Peace.

The Bible is the most influential book of all time. No other book can compare, overcome, or be more powerful than the Bible. It contains the eternal principles and facts we earnestly search for in the wrong places.

Thank You Lord Jesus Christ for helping the Bible project spread the faith to all and getting me close to you Lord Amen

God is showing and teaching me something new everyday. I'm trying to stop committing idolatry towards him. His word tell us exactly who he is , not what we think or how we feel God is .

In the Bible, we read that God gets angry. But why? And what is it that makes God angry? The first time God gets angry in the Bible is not in the garden of Eden, or in the flood story, or even in the ruin of Sodom and Gomorrah. God’s first display of anger is with Moses at the burning bush (see Exodus 4:14). This is significant because it shows that God’s acts of justice against human evil are not always connected with divine anger. Rather, God’s anger is most consistently expressed against his covenant people Israel, precisely because they were entrusted with the responsibility of representing God to the nations (see Exodus 19:1-6). In the Bible, God gets most angry with the people in whom he’s made the greatest relational investment. Also, God’s anger is not a primary character trait. God’s anger is a response to human betrayal and evil, and it’s rooted in God’s justice and love-two key components of God’s very nature. To be angry at violent evil and let that anger motivate the pursuit of justice and restoration, these are good things. And that’s precisely what God is up to in the Bible. His “slow anger” means that he allows people lots of time to change. Pharaoh got ten chances in Exodus, and Moses objected five times to God’s request before there was any anger (see Exodus 3-4). The apostle Paul summarizes this Old Testament message well when he says that God is “rich in kindness and tolerance and slow-anger,” and it’s “the kindness of God that leads us to turn around” (Romans 2:4). It’s this tension between God’s patience, justice, and love that drives the biblical story forward to Jesus. In his life, death, and resurrection, we see God’s love and justice meet together to overcome evil and unleash the power of divine forgiveness and love into the world. All of this and more is packed into the biblical idea that God is slow to anger.

You guys never ever disappoint. The explanation of God's just anger (aka wrath) working together with His grace and love in the cross was perfect! A God who doesn't get angry at human evil is not worthy of being worshipped, and understanding how intense is his anger helps understand even deeper the great love He has for us, saving such bad creatures out of sheer Grace!

Yes, God gives time for criminals to change as the victims suffer and pray. I've seen that first hand, dear child of God.

This was so beautiful and much needed. I pray everyday to be slow to anger because I’m easily frustrated at work and with my kids sometimes. I know that God is patient with me and so faithful. He doesn’t get mad as we do. His anger is just and in response to the stuff that we do to ourselves and others 😩🙏🏾

I always enjoy the little grumblings that the characters make 🥰

I think this video came out at the right time and I saw it at the right time when I needed to see it the most. Thank you Bible project.

God's patience for you is repent is beyond measure. I am living proof of that. I went off the road for over 25-years and did just about anything you can name (except murder, rape, and other hard-type crimes) and about 2-years ago, I saw the light again, only stronger this time and came back to the right road and have no plans of ever leaving it again, PRAISE GOD. And when I got back into the Bible, daily now numerous times, the story of the Prodigal Son hit me right in the heart. And Jesus's return will not be until the last person accepts Him as their Savior, THAT is how patient God is, and more.

God is a big child. God only gives people he chooses, time to change.

Wow! The part at the end where the golden idols become billboards. So good!

Easily one of the most profound animations I've seen from TBP since the crushing in the Khata video. What a masterpiece of design communicating truth.

“ God gives us lots of time to change” THANK GOD FOR THAT

3:12 - "Israel wanted to serve the gods of other nations so God, in his just anger, gives them wat they want". God hands us people over to the consequenses of our actions, but gives us time to understand the foolishness of our ways. When you have turned away from God as many times as I have, you'll feel the immense grace and compassions that come from His character. His patience gives me time to confess and turn from my sin every day. What an amazing God we have!

His goodness leads man to repentance😊

This is amazing. I struggled with understanding why God hardened Pharaoh's heart but when i reread the story, Pharaoh was already hardening his heart to begin with and God gave him so many chances!

Yes,Jesus Love us unconditional. Psalm 86:15 , Pray It - Dear God, because you are merciful and gracious, because you are slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, I know that my relationship with you is secure. No matter what I've done or what I do in this life, you will be faithful to finish what you started in me.

It's so crazy that the world STILL chooses themselves over God despite this unconditional love that God pours out on us!

I've been depressed this last week seeing the corruption and evil. Thank you for this video. It reminded me God's love and faithfulness. He will rescue us.

Amazing amazing amazing!! It never clicked that pharaoh died in the same punishment he gave out to all the men (boys) of Israel. Something so simple yet so profound. Love the video and the imagery and how it's all articulated 😁 good work guys!!

God is Truth and his word is from everlasting to everlasting. God is Worthy we are not.

God has patience and it’s a Blessing for us who have sin. May we do better by Him

Been struggling with anger lately. Thank you for this.

Video suggestion: How to walk with GOD/How Enoch Walked with GOD.

Dear Lord Jesus Christ please bless this world and forgive this world for our sins and break any bad bets and break any curses on anyone in this world In Jesus Almighty name Amen

God is extremely long-suffering. 🙏🏾 In my adult life I realize more and more how many times I should or could have been struck down.

Interestingly, the French metaphor for getting angry is "the mustard is rising in my nose" -- wonder if that has any connection to the biblical phrase, or if it just seems that hot noses are typical of those with hot tempers. But as always, great video and excellent insights. Thanks.

Thank you for helping me find faith again. I'm still not there completely and I have questions here and there but thank you for these videos. They are wodnerful.

God is slow to anger, thank you Lord, Amen.

God's divine intervention by showing me where will be if I continued the way I was living in a dream and after the third time I am grateful I changed my life around

Beautiful. I got teary eyed. How great is our GOD? 😎👊🏼

I greatly needed this after the day I’ve had. Panic over possible poisoning and then watching the movie Noah 2016. That movie really rattled me like I can’t explain- I got anxiety from it and came onto RU-vid to somehow cheer up- and I find this video in my recommends. Sincerely thank you, I needed to hear this after the day I’ve had. God bless you, and I thank him for you. And to anyone reading this, I hope you’re having a good day. And if you aren’t, my prayers to you.

“I love you with an eternal love, therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn you.”

This is so great. It doesn't try to tame God's anger, but put it in perspective. Thanks!

Hallelujah! The entrance of the Word still gives light and understanding to the simple. Thank you for this masterpiece!

God is great! Jesus loves you all dearly:) 👍 ❤️

Before, my thoughts are full of fear and hatred, I often feel insecure and ungrateful. One day God give me a hard lesson and I was a very angry and became toxix, I was very egoistic and always want myself only to be happy. But then slowly my mindset change and I feel very guilty to God but He still accept me. Thank you Jesus❤

I’m watching from France 🇫🇷 It is very interesting and the arts are amazing ! It is the first time I’ve heard of the comparison between God’s anger and the « nose » 😲! God is very patient with us! May the lord reveal you more and more about his Word! Thank you for this beautiful work. 👏🏽😁

not only is this amazing animation its also good storytelling and explanation of what the subject is this channel needs to be more popular

Praise the LORD in the mighty name of JESUS CHRIST of NAZARETH Amen

As a person who had real meeting with GOD I can 100% assure you that GOD is AMAZING. Word's can't describe HIS greatness. I talked with HIM many times and HE was ALWAYS loving, polite, understanding. Never angry. The only moment when HE was a bit "strict" was when I started to treat my sinns like "Nothing happened". HE want's us to understand that sinns are serious. HE also don't like when we don't believe in ourselfs.There were many times when I said: "GOD I'm unworthy to go to heaven". HE always replied: "Just pray and trust me. I will do the rest".

The LORD expresses his love for us through his slow anger :] ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

THIS MAKES SO MUCH MORE SENSE NOW!! I was always confused about so many things mentioned here. Thank you so much!

Wow.... woe is me. I am one of unclean lips. I behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed upon me. I worship You, O God.

“God is patient, giving people time to come to their senses and change.” God is a beautiful, happy, and joyful God. 😌💕you know how much he loves us everyday?? He never gives up on us. You know how much endless love that requires?😌💕

This is beautiful. God is rich in mercy. Thank you Jesus

I’m not slow to anger. I try my best. God please help me 💯😭💔

I love this explanation. The conclusion is, God is justified in whatever He does.

The plagues passing by quickly with Pharaoh framed and unchanging was not only really efficient imagery but EXCELLENT storytelling with great sound design and just a little bit funny in highlighting the ridiculousness of human pride. In short? FANTASTIC.

Translating the video to portugese for my grandmother watch the video with me and learn more about our God !! We love your ministry ♡

What an Amazing GOD we have, thank you Lord for your love

I don't know how God does it, over and over and over again but I'm so glad He does

Brilliant! I'm so thankful for you all and your ministry. I never associated the drowning of Pharaoh and his army with just retribution for his earlier order to drown the Hebrew male babies. It perfectly illustrates the principle Paul states in Galatians 6:7, "Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap." May God continue to bless your service to His kingdom, and greatly multiply the fruit of what you are sowing in faithfulness and creativity.

James says it too. “My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry”.

I learned that even if God doesn't punish the people in their sins, still Humans are doomed to their destruction by their own choices and worldly desires, so it's terrifying to imagine if God adds His own anger to the people's own self destruction. I thank you Lord God for being patient and slow to anger to me, countless times I hid to you, go my own way and went astray with your prescence and was doomed to my own destruction, But countless times also that you did saved me, Thank you Lord for your mercy, grace, compassion, faithfulness and loving kindness to me.🙏 Thank you Lord Jesus for your sacrifice to the punishments in place of me, truly you are Yeshua -God is my Salvation😭☝️🙏🙌

God is good all the time he slow to anger all the times I have done bad. THANK YOU GOD

Yet God’s wrath is horrifying, God poured it out on his son for his people’s sake. He is just amazing!!!

This is beautifully-laden. God bless your channel and may God grants you the grace to reach more people so that they experience what it's truly like to be with God.

Lol these people just make learning about God so much more fun.....I wanna ask God to bless this team more and more🔖🙏🏽❤️ I wanna give God a spiritual and a Physical hug....whenever I get that thought I feel the Holy Spirit hugging my heart ❤️

I Used to think I was slow to anger by being patient but God humbles me so I may repent. I am so blessed to be a child of God 💕

You guys/girls have no idea how much these videos mean. I thank you! Shalom!
