Ladies, please don't allow the world to define you, or tell you what beauty is. The most beautiful type of woman is one loves and fears the Lord. One who is faithful and obedient to His word. And one who confidently walks day by day in the love and freedom of God's truth.
The most beautiful woman is the one who knows to dodge the MrButtstrokers of the world. And, some user name, too. You know, the whole world can see what type of user name you choose for yourself. So, what does that name tell people.
Wow! Such a beautiful testimony and message💖. This coming from you is so amazing because you are showing women that we can enjoy makeup and clothes and looking nice but we can do in the context of keeping God first and letting our love for Him and our identity completely satisfy us and fulfill us. Attraction is definitely cool and fun but it ultimately is a fading flower and our true beauty is in God’s eyes and on the inside. Thank you girl for this message and your willingness to share your story. This is awesome!
Jared Kilbane When someone is beautiful in spirit and is Christ like it will overpower and is much more beautiful, than the physical beauty your talking about. And if your concerned about the sex, if u truly love your spouse and the feeling is mutual for your 'wife' and if you put Christ at the center , whether that girl is physically pretty or not Your sex will good.
I stumbled on here by accident, but I like what you have to say. I was the most popular kid in school and didn't know it. I always thought of myself as less, really didn't know why girls would scream when I said hi. I was very insecure and shy. It wasn't till I went looking for our Lord that I found that we are made in His image and worthy of love and that love truly surpasses hate, breaks down walls that we build, all want to be loved, but somehow feel unworthy till someone shows us love, simple human kindness. He told me to look at woman as you would your sister, then you will truly love them and yourself. I guess our Lord is right, we have the same Father and the same brother Jesus and love cannot be contained, it spreads and is contagious, so allow myself to be loved, it's the fear of getting hurt or rejection that makes fall short of God's love. I hope you are greatly loved and your heart is full, over flowing.
Hi hon, one perspective to take is what if you married someone you thought to be outwardly stunning and you loved them dearly and then they got in an accident and say their whole face was burnt off and left as a pile of scars...that would never be a good reason to stop loving them. We are confused in the world. Ask God to show you what sex is really supposed to be like. Sex is supposed to unite two spirits. It is in fact much more of a spiritual experience than a bodily one but the world has twisted sex up so much to make something beautiful that is supposed to represent us becoming one with God when his Holy Spirit dwells in us into something that is just self seeking and dirty. Husbands and wives are to have a marriage that reflects the relationship of the church and Christ. If you cant make love to your wife because of her appearance then that reflects on you and your spiritual failings. Now, I do hear what you are saying regarding 300lbs and I do believe that is a fruit of the sin gluttony and also goes against the scripture that says to honor God with your body. It is a sin...and that doesn't define the person.. it is the fruit of a choice a person has made and in that situation conviction from the holy spirit is needed and repentance. I myself would not enter into a marriage knowing I had sin I needed to workout. Gluttony is a widely accepted sin and it breaks my heart... it is not pleasing to God and it has nothing to do with what you are seeing outwardly as a result of the sin. So sad :( If you got married and your wife turned to gluttony and you didn't want to sleep with her then it is no different than if you started looking at porn or sleeping with other woman and she no longer wanted to sleep with you because of that. I understand where you are coming from but I think you need to look at the spiritual side to this. Also, as the husband you need to be diligent in leading your family spiritually. :) Don't worry about all these things...seek God with all your heart and He will show you how to live a life of righteousness and how to lead your family in a life of righteousness. The most important thing is for you to have a pure heart and mind before God and to learn to see people how He sees people....
Allyson, I agree with you. You might be a stunningly beautiful woman, but I would not like you very much if you had a negative attitude and ugly perspective. Physical beauty fades, but character and righteousness can be maintained. I married a woman in 1986, and I'm still married to her. Yes, I think she was pretty, but I couldn't marry her if she wasn't a Christian and didn't have a good perspective. I certainly couldn't have stayed if physical beauty was all she had. Now she has a more solid lock on my heart than I ever thought anyone could have. I'm now in the hospital for about a month, and I appreciate her love and support more than ever. We married for better and for worse. I'm now struggling and she is still there for me. She is now more beautiful to me than ever.
We need to walk in the word daily and be filled of the Holy Spirit to be reminded that beauty is not that billboard we see or that fitness model in some magazine but rather true beauty flows from the radiance of integrity, purity and character. Beauty is vain, but a woman that fears the Lord will be praised.
I'm so happy I came across this video, because the enemy has been really making me struggle with my self image. I could be called gorgeous everyday and I still wouldn't believe it and I began to be obsessed with my looks when really that is no part of my value and what God put me on this earth for. Thanks so much for sharing. God Bless You
As an ugly guy I think the point is beauty doesn't matter anyway. I mean, you can be happy even though you aren't beautiful, so our aim just be more like Christ.
You shouldn't call yourself ugly. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. In some women eyes you are handsome. The bible says that beauty is vain any way. It says that a women that loves the Lord is to be cherished. Godly character is more valuable than physical beauty.
Everyone is valued and appreciated in the eyes of God. Don't compare yourself to others, be happy with who you are and what you have to offer in the world. ☺️
Sadly the world we live in judges by how ya look... im a 44 yr old double amputee and i cant find a girlfruend or wife. Everyone is so stuck on body image. And sadly i see all the time a nice Godly man like me gets overlooked and some mean jerk that teeats the woman horrible over someone like me... this hurts. I am actually tearing up writing this. Because of this whole image thing. So sadly i live a life void of the love of a woman... just a lil imput from a nice disabled man...
judotapout - your are 44 yr old. Know what, you've got all eternity ahead of you. Just think about that! And in heaven you will have all your faculties, you will get your glorified body. Just you wait, God is good. God knows how to give good things to His children. I will pray to God to lead you a (female) friend. Operative word 'friend' , put girlfriend or wife behind you. You be friends first. Be blessed.

Ally I just had to pause this video @ 2mins45seconds bc my jaw literally just dropped girl bc... (yes, you are right, beauty is in the eye of the beholder & true beauty comes from within) BUT... Allyson, I don't care what you may think or not think lol girlfriend YOU ARE THE EPITOME OF BEAUTIFUL IN MY OPINION, Love!;) Not only does the love of God shine so brightly & beautifully through you from within but Girl I could gaze at your outward beauty forever as weird as that sounds lol just had to get my point across to you girl You are a KNOCKOUT from the iNsiDe-ouT & don't you ever forget it hehe=) Love ya girl I can't wait to be able to finally meet you 1 day!! Now Ima go finish the rest of this video hehe;)♡♡
I haven’t had it said to me, but I could sense that people thought it. They think that it’s easy for me to be confident in who I am and what I look like, but it’s taken me years to finally say “I’m beautiful” and actually believe it’s true.
I believe it's the enemy who distorts how we look at our self image. Since I have come back too the Lord, my eyes have been open to the lies! Just found you today! What a blessing you are already!
Thank you so much for this video(: It helps me know that my looks are not my value or identity and that I am needed in this world. That my value is in Jesus Christ alone. Thank you so much Ali. Could you make a video about quiet times? I am in a season where I'm trying to learn about quiet times. I was waking up early almost every morning and spending a lot of time with God, but now with school starting back (I am a college student) with school and work and other things its become hard to have those long quiet times. Also I just feel like God is leading me into a season where I dont spend so much time with Him in the mornings rather I spend my entire day in communication with him and spending time with Him when I feel led to it. Could you maybe share how you stay connected with God all day? How you spend your time with him along with the business of life? And how you continually pray because i know the Bible says to never stop praying and to pray continually. I love ypu Ali. Thank you for your obedience to The Lord!
This spoke volumes to me. I've been so overcome with rejection and feeling invisible. To the point where I hate to go out because everyone else gets the compliments and attention. I pray that GOD delivers me from this rejection and lies. Thank you for this word.
The world has perverted what beauty is. You’re outer beauty is a reflection of your inner beauty. Your beautiful but that beauty comes from the Lord and not from this world.
Can you do a video about your thoughts about makeup? I believe that it's many girls out there that don't feel pretty or accepted without wearing makeup. Do you think makeup hides or defines the real beauty? Bless!! 💗💃🏼
Thank you for being so open and sharing your thoughts! I appreciate your determination to speak freely about the Lord and his greatness. Keep encouraging young girls and women around the globe. 😌
I have struggled with these same insecurities also: "your eyes are too big, your forehead is too big, you're too tall, your feet are too big etc" but i have come to the realization that God specifically gave me those features for a reason and if i had them altered to the image of someone else I wouldn't be myself, unique and wonderfully and beautifully made in the image of God. The moment I accepted and embraced these so called "flaws" that made me "ugly" I became beautiful and i thinkthat is what we ladies and gentlemen should do. God doesn't make any mistakes! God Bless you guys
Please ignore the comments on not wearing make up. ABBA made you this way and only you can reach certain people by the way you look and sound. People think christians are supposed to be poor and ugly as a ‘living sacrifice’ and I’m darn well fed up with it. I love make up and yours looks so soft and feminine.
Great testimony, it feels terrible when someone tells me Im ugly. I was singing. I am blessed at work and a guy came up and said I was ugly. It was an attack on me!!!
That happen to me to hun . I was standing alone and a guy walked up to me and asked me why am I so ugly ? I just turned away and put my head down . Smh
You are absolutely CORRECT!!! God bless you for your call and gifts, preach it, and keep on sharing God's Blessings of truth to the lost and bring them to our Savior Jesus Christ, Amen.
I was obsessed with my looks and weight necause i was always teased. So i developed low self image and bad eating habits. Now im overweight trying to get back healthy and loving me.
One thing I really get irritated about is that people keep co-opting other things into "Beauty" Listen... Beauty is nothing more than a pleasing physical appearance. THAT IS ALL. The problem is NOT that we keep seeing the WRONG things as beautiful. The problem is that we over value beauty. "Compassion" is not Beautiful... Compassion is Compassion, it is GOOD ENOUGH by itself, compassion doesn't have to 'be' beautiful, because compassion is ALREADY BETTER than Beautiful. "Honesty" is not Beautiful.... Honesty is Honesty, it is GOOD ENOUGH by itself. Faithfulness is not beauty. Courage is not beauty. All these are ABOVE beauty. To say that those things make you beautiful is a LIE. The TRUTH is, that you don't have to BE beautiful to BE VALUABLE. And THAT is the lie that keeps getting propagated.
I think that being "beautiful" in the world's eyes can have it's downfalls too. I used to think I was hideous but I grew out of that "ugly duckling" phase and have realized that I'm not ugly. God says to treat everyone with kindness and sometimes men can take it as me coming on to them. Do you have any advice for those who perhaps get too much attention from the opposite sex and how to react to their advances?
Hi, I recently watched your video message and I was moved by it and at the same time inspired me to ignore the lies of this world and focus on what makes me beautiful on the inside and not what's on the outside and the way God sees us, he looks at our hearts and not our physical appearances all of us are worthy in God's eyes and loves us unconditionally.
Wow, I woke up this morning and God told me to read the book of Esther this morning. And towards the end you said something along one of the most famous lines from the book: "You were created for such a time as this." Idk what God is saying through this yet, but thank you for your words and inspiration!
Ally I’ve been binge watching your videos and I can’t tell you how much it’s helped me the last couple days, you are so beautiful inside and out, I love your love for God, your messages are short but have so much in-depth to them, I learn to much in little time. Thank you beautiful lady ♥️
Great advice buddy from someone who's lived it. Man looks at the outward appearance and God looks at the heart. The greatest beauty treatment a women can ever have is to be filled the presence and power of God and shine His glory and light and maybe a slight touch of make up but not too much :)
Those are some of the most beautiful words I've ever heard an attractive woman say. Or any woman for that matter. You have a gift for edifying souls and helping people focus on whats truly important. God bless you.
I believe your testimony, just so difficult to believe how someone like you could have believed it, I guess the enemy tries to hit whoever will give ear, even the beautiful ones. A male friend of mine who knows a lot of gorgeous women and told him similar stories. Some men could use it as an opportunity to marry a 10 when he is maybe a 5 in the looks department. lol Never heard of that story happening though. Beauty fades in time and its the heart that is most important. Because of the curse in the garden from the fall, the only way for a man and woman to really get along is to have them BOTH follow the Lord. Like a triangle, the closer they get to the Lord, the closer they get to one another.
May God keep on using to minister to His children sister. Be filled of His Holy Spirit and that He may use you as an instrument of His kingdom. I'll keep you in my prayers as well. Love and blessings from Oregon:)
I was repeatedly called ugly, skank and stupid by my school peers. I have been cheated on, lied to and was almost killed by one guy I briefly dated. I am currently practicing celibacy, one of the reason why is because I have a severe distrust of men. I also don't want any STDs or HIV/AIDS. I have a mental illness that I am currently dealing with and my therapist says that I have a lot to offer someone. That the guy that ends up with me will be very lucky. There is a part of me that doesn't believe it though. I am still figuring myself out.
The1yada -- Yeah guys can be pretty messed up. It may take you awhile to get over your 'severe distrust of men'. To God, it is important that you try and forgive. And move on. Holding onto unforgiveness -- eats away at you. Continue and grow, evolve to be the person God intended for you to be. Ask the Holy Spirit to come into your life and to be your guide through out your life. When you do that, you will see amazing things in your life. Do remember you have all eternity ahead of you. To date, meet 'boys', new friends, all eternity. And that's just the beginning!
So sorry for your bad experience. There are good guys out there. Be patient. Learn to love yourself and someone special will notice. May God bless you.
+The1yadayada First of all, you ARE NOT UGLY. People that would stoop so low as to actually tell you that are clearly having their own insecurity issues and are trying to cover up their own by taunting you. And secondly, I applaud you for keeping yourself for the one that you believe is worthy of you. Secular and sometimes even weak Christian men will be unfaithful and liars, and you should be proud to know your worth and know that you don't need a man to be all that you have to offer.
When I was much younger I was attending a trade school. A few weeks in this really pretty girl came into the class. My jaw dropped, i couldn't take my eyes off her. Within a few days i saw her real personality. She was a crazy, mean & deranged woman. I never looked at her the same way again after I saw the 'real' her. She was no longer pretty at all. A little scary.
The first video i watched from you was the prophetic season I did not even notice your outside man but what attracted me was the annointing that rolled off your tongue it opened up your inward man and who i saw was the real you not your outward beauty as all people are pretty to God or to someone as its in the eye of the beholder. Lots of pretty woman are so ugly as there inward man taints them and you just see nothing but ugly Prov 31:30 Favour is deceitful, and beauty(outward) is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised 2nd cor 4:16 says every minute our outward body is dying getting ugly according to the worlds standard For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. its that hidden man inside that is precious to God 1 Peter 3King James Version (KJV) 3 Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives; 2 While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear. 3 Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; 4 But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price. 5 For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands: 6 Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement. 7 Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered. 8 Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: it about our whole Spirit soul and body 1 Thes 5:23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. i taught a message on that ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1zPZEKF_KPA.html
lm definitely not as beautiful as l use to be as l aged. it has changed the favor and help l get in society. but its true , we are only what God has blessed us with, a Christlike spirit and a virtuous woman is what l want to attain but in doing so it require s not getting much beuty sleep. beautiful women are kind compassionate and helpful.
Thank you so much. I'm in the process of leaving a "Man of God" who stripped me of everything I should I have protected. I allowed God's words over me to be peeled off and replaced by man's. Submission without discernment is deadly. My heart goes out to every woman who is mentally, emotionally, and spiritually dying inside. TRUE God, Holy Spirit led headship in submission to God preserves, protects, nurtures, and grows every sacred word God says about you.
Sister, thank you so much! I saw your post yesterday and I was going to comment and say, “How could you possibly know how we feel because you are so beautiful?” BUT I DIDN’T because your messages are too deep for you to be only a pretty face. So I stopped myself from assuming you wouldn’t understand. I have struggled with the same issues as you and thank you for being transparent. Giving is hope and love! And reminding us that we ALL in some way are dealing with struggles. You’re not just another pretty face and I’m not just another average one.
I'm sorry but I know a lot of women who I personally consider beautiful who will not see themselves as such because they do not fit the society mold; well let's be honest you do actually fit that Society mold so how easy must it feel / BE for you to slip right into God's Embrace knowing how beautiful you actually are? Just wondering!
Thank You Sister for sharing, God Bless you Allyson in Jesus Mighty Name!!! And Sister forgive me, Ive been spelling your name wrong in my last couple comments.
Hi ✝️❤️🙏🏻 How can we get everybody in the world to gather in every city and PRAY FOR GOD AND JESUS CHRIST PEACEFULLY 🆘 All this will change in a twinkling of an eye!!!!!!!!! Share Please!
Thank you. Yes, beauty is different for each person. For example, some men love women who are heavy/big full-figured and some do not. Gals, when looking for a mate, love your body no matter what size.🌷🌷🌷
Beauty is being created in God's image. There is beauty and there is physical attraction. Your beauty, being created in God's image is where you find worth, value and dignity. All therefore, are beautiful. Physical attraction, is somewhat more ambiguous, and of personal preference. This is where men differ. Physical attraction is important. But, we must be open to God' sovereign calling as to who we date and marry.
This really touched me. Thankyou for sharing. I always thought you were super pretty. But this touched me because I’m fat and I’m struggling wit my weight and I felt for a long time that my value was in my beauty until this moment. Thankyou
Hey ladies, search God's Word and discover what He has to say about the beautiful creation you are that He created you to be. He loves you so very much. You are beautiful because you were created by Love Himself! You have been redeemed from the curse of sin and death, because He loves you more than Satan hates you. The ugliness of your past will never dull the beauty of your future! Keep up the great work you are doing here Alyson.
Hello Allyson. I'm interested in what you had to say in this post regarding destiny. Since "destiny" appears to have some deep roots in paganism & unbelief ("fate") wouldn't it be better to argue ("bring your strong argument" - Isaiah 41:21) from the standpoint of predestination rather than "destiny?" As we grow in the knowledge and grace, we see that there is no "nitpicking" as many people like to excuse multiple and false interpretations by, & that delight in God's word has embedded in it the EXACT nature of the (language/word) & the logos (reason) of scripture (see Matthew 5:18). Therefore predestined or predestination vs. "destiny."🔥🐏🐑
Thanks sister for your teaching. But now let me train with you you have a wonderful eyes . That is like I am watching 2 beautiful stars , and like your beautiful hair looking more beautiful than 24 K Gold. That God gave to you , And I say thanks to god again And think myself how beautiful is your creations. Chilli bean.
U just messaged Mark Ballenger of Apply God's Word.com about your channel. I would really like to see you both come together and do a video on these issues. Not for taking sides, but to have a good, mature, Christian talk about relationships, dating, and marriage. Thanks, stay blessed!
LOL at around the 2:30 mark. I had no awareness of Allyson's facial "faults" but as soon as she mentioned them I started to notice that "yeah her eyes are quite wide." The point being that people for the most part aren't so observant that they actually notice certain "flaws".
Have you ever experienced isolation in church by women and especially married women because of your appearance? Has it interfered with your ministry goals and broken relationships in church, even though you did not do anything to warrant mistrust like flirting or gossiping? How can you deal with these kind of problems. I wonder why God made people so that some are perceived as attractive in this world and others not. I know you said it is a lie and addressed it in this video but it is still a reality we have to deal with and its just something I wonder about because I am a single lady in church and people judge me based on my appearance. I also think my sin had something to do with it too, but I am not sure. I don't think I overtly sinned. Anyway, I was just wondering if you experienced these kinds of problems at church. I just came across your video in the RU-vid feed. Thank You
This is really bad with the societal pressures and trends and making you believe if you're not following the trend you aren't good enough. Thats why I deleted all of my social media accounts except youtube. I have never felt more free and happy in a couple days of deleting them than I have in years. My anxiety has gone away so far and I feel amazing. I know my worth, value and the love I have for myself and my authenticity I have always had but sucked into all of that you completely lose it all and forget who you are.
Do you have a video about how Christian women should dress? I have seen some women believers dressed very seductively - especially at the pool. Remember men are affected by visual appearance more than women.
Maybe someday god will appear. All I can do is try and lose faith because nothing gets better. Not sure why God wants me alone but that's the message i keep getting from him.
