[ArsenalCech09]

theres no satan...

[KindaCoolKia]

@ArsenalCech09 What do you base that on?

[SazzleLou2010]

Clayton i know you are having a ball in Heaven right now, just wanted to write that, i have just watched all your videos, i started off on your Godtube video and it escalated to me even watching your memorial service. You really were a true blessing and picture of Christ. You have certainly made an impact on me and i live in NI, you have impacted the world. God Bless you and your family RIP

[tiiley17]

sorry didnt know you had aids

[shmikshmoria]

@tiiley17  I pray for you man.

[tiiley17]

[BestHappyEnglish]

I bet if he didnt have cancer he wouldnt believe in God so strongly

[yogeico]

My name is Clayton, and from the start I just typed in my name on youtube expecting to see something funny to brighten my day up. I'm happy I stumbled upon this video instead because it let me realize that even though today was shitty for me and I'm losing faith, this boy had it a lot worse then me right now and he still has faith. God Bless Clayton McDonald

[Quitesophie]

this story is so inspertational !!!!!!!!!! god bless him x

[pharaoh16able]

[RaNd0mAw3s0m3n3sS]

[drdylful]

5 people are arse holes or whats the deal here? this thouched my heart in many ways

[motoxjunky155]

what was wrong with him

[Potatoe227]

@motoxjunky155 He was diagnosed with Luekemia 4 times. The first 3 times he got treatment and the 4th time he decided to live out the rest of his days.

[Guitarandsingforever]

I know quite a few people who knew Clayton personally and even though I never met him, I know he was an amazing guy. I know he's in a better place Now and I can't wait to meet him!

gracias con subtitulos

[claynewb]

My names Clayton :)

[oSADxPANDAo]

@claynewb thats exactly how i got here

[darockson]

@DavidEatsPaste I'm glad you did some research on the matter of Faith and Belief. I just wanted to clarify the difference between the two. Also, there are two sides to believing. Belief based on 1) feelings 2) facts. Many believe because they SEE, have had an experience or have studied, assessed and explored the facts. Like believing someone to be truthful or guilty. Belief based on feelings are dangerous, like I tried to point out. "I Believe based on the Facts and have Faith based on Hope."

[jmac48186]

Definately pulls at the heart, a good lesson for all of us.

[hnabanana94]

I'm excited to meet him one day

[zacharykoenig]

This is crazy! I'm glad he was bold in His faith, and he is in a better place now. THANK THE LORD FOR HIM!

[Potatoe227]

@makingsnsux You really should save that for another comment thread, thats pretty effed to say on this video.

[Potatoe227]

Was Sam crying in the beggining? :'(

[XXsavieXX]

The "get a good everything" really makes me think. Makes me think that if I had a movie made about me, would it be worth watching? We shouldn't just coast on by in life. Make it interesting. Make a difference. Thank you Clayton. Thank you.

[iamsexycheese]

;how did he die

[RockinHBWJunior]

@iamsexycheese cancer

[RockinHBWJunior]

@makingsnsux your a horrible person

[ihateme124]

where is he from?

[RockinHBWJunior]

R.I. P

[RockinHBWJunior]

this almost made me cry

[recordsmanukrnet]

@RockinHBWJunior almost? :O

[RockinHBWJunior]

where is from?

[Potatoe227]

At the end when the title says "This video was completed onMarch 15th 2009, Clayton went to be with the lord on March 16th" followed by the music, that was a really big heart tug. I remembered it in a dream and woke up with tears falling from my eyes. Im not even religious and this video is still touching. Clayton was such a great person who loved people more than anything. May his soul rest in peace.

[DavidEatsPaste]

It's sad that he died, but as soon as I heard him say he knows where he is going when he dies, I stopped the video. Nobody knows where they are going when they die. One can claim the knowledge but if it is just based on feelings that is not a fact but a belief. Please don't flame me for stating my opinion. I'm sure if heaven exists he's there.

[darockson]

@DavidEatsPaste What he has is Faith. Faith based on Hope that never fades. Not feelings, which are volatile and subject to change. If faith is based on feelings, then it would be like the waves of the sea.

[DavidEatsPaste]

@darockson Yes, I know he has faith. But I don't know what you are trying to tell me. I respect his belief and am glad he found something to believe in. I think you are right that faith is not based on feelings. I looked it up and it seems it's based on an idea or possibility. I think we can both agree it's not based on fact. That doesn't mean it can never be fact. But faith is based on being content with the unknown while the opposite, certainty, is based on not being content until one knows.

[SunnySuperPuppy]

Haha my name too

[420slimjim]

Is that blood at 1:02 ? :/

[stettlerarsenal]

RIP Clayton. You were always a good buddy.

[TheAggiefan21]

[claytontheman11]

[XxCOrPEsXKiNG123]

my name is clayton

[ballcapmusicbox]

@XxCOrPEsXKiNG123 @claytontheman11 same

[I3eaconLight]

I've have had this video Favorited on my channel for a while. It's one of the most profound and inspirational stories anyone could hope to leave as a legacy. He (Clayton) did an excellent job representing who he was and how much he loved God.

Would anyone know where I could purchase the LOVE shirt he wears in the video? I'd like to show this video to some youth and hand out some shirts in memory of Clayton at some point.

[speara805]

May I use this video for a bible study....i know this will touch everyone.....

[monicafullersnumber1]

clayton you were so full of life. i truly miss you

[heidiee100]

I miss Clayton ),:

[theshitstarters]

[monicafullersnumber1]

[theshitstarters]

[monicafullersnumber1]

[HotGreeNLillY17]

What's the name of this song??

[Zaksaladfingers17]

i miss him, yet i've never met him. :(

[MrAmer1ca]

i dont know how many times i have watched this video since i saw it at church camp a couple years ago... im in college now and with all the distractions of the world amplified, this was a great reminder. thank you clayton, and God bless his family and friends

[ethanmerritt]

i miss you man, diving days arnt the same

[EsterAndr4]

Бог во Христе и через Исуса Христа мог исцелить его от болезни. Меня Бог во имя Иисуса Христа исцелял неоднократно от мучительных недугов, я - свидетель тому, как во имя Иисуса Христа из людей выходили бесы. Жаль, что послание Клейтона ограничевается только тем, что он не боится смерти, а не тем что он исцелен от смертельной болезни, о которой знали все. Уверенна, это было бы более мощное свидетельство. Ведь умом в Бога верит каждый человек...

[JedwardLife]

We got this shown to us a Youthclub,,it really made me think and few life diferently!

That night i prayed to God to help me understand and love him more!

Thank-you Clayton

[JedwardLife]

R.I.P <3

your with God in heaven now <3

x

[codymurph14]

we watched this video aT skatechurch last night rip clayton

[Mrstonester]

This was in my bible study group yesterday, but one thing my youth pastor pointed out to make a little comedy was: "hey guys, you see that ps3 group? notice all the girls hanging around there."

[0505Lucy]

That made me cry :'(

[singingchristian]

One year ago they played this video at my school. It changed my life forever. Now one year later I still remember his name perfectly I remember this video like I saw it yesterday and I remember the tears.. because everytime i watch this it brings the tears back. I cannot thank you enough for making this video.

I wish I could've had the honor to meet Clayton. Watching this video makes it feel like he was my best friend. I now have his picture posted on my wall so it reminds to not be distracted.

[singingchristian]

@singingchristian PS: One day I will have the honor of meeting in heaven with our Lord Jesus Christ.

[OutOfTheBoxThinker]

"Those who think they know where they're going where they die but really don't"... It's too bad he didn't realise he was one of those people, although I guess if it kept him confident and strong it was worth living a lie... Who am I or anyone else to judge a situation like this, really?!?

[neanisko]

subtitulenloporfavor...

Me interesa!!

[shamgarjoy]

imagine?

a boy doesn't scared for him self to die...instead he is scared for others who didn't know God..

[bassflyer]

He lived across the street from me my whole life.

I never got the chance to know him though.

He came over a couple of times to warn us that they were going to play music across the street and for us to come over if it was to loud.

He was magical, with his words and his heart.

I wish I knew you.

<3

Rest In Peace, Neighbor.

[YsuJre3]

I heard my sweet little brother. I will make sure many more hear you, too. I will meet you with the Father sometime, when MY mission is accomplished. Parents, your son was so blessed.

[Fluffie14]

im awating him. Christ is soo good to us all

[MissNinaify]

Oh that is sad, it made me think.

Rest in peace clayton

[maeruth]

He's so brave.

[GDSaved]

Clayton, i do believe i called you "seth" please forgive me. God has blessed you and your message came across loud and clear in speaking on worldly things. I know you are with "God" now. I know your family loves you very much....and am going to miss you, although we have never met, i will miss you. I know you are in a better place. In Jesus Name Amen. I know you reading this. Rest my friend. Amen

[petree28]

God is awesome praise the Lord.

[jdude12344]

@petree28 bluff

[TotallyPredictable]

This has really made me think. Without Christ taking our sin, we never could be with Him forever. I am so happy to be sure where I am going, like Clayton. Praise God for disciples like this. I am praying to have a life like him. And that I could be a witness. Christ used him in a tremendous way. Praise God.

[JesusFreakDanceShoee]

Hallelujah...God is forever awesome. Clayton's perspective, and hearing about his fears will definitely make me think.

[MakeMeLaugh9123]

Clayton is the best guy ever . . . he came and talked to us at our Christian club at lunch at school he's a really cool person. . . . he will deffinetly be greatly missed for sure . . .

[xoEmmettCullenox]

this vid really changed me. not to b selfish and think about yourself but to think about others. At Youth they showed this vid and i was crying! and thanx clayton 4 changing mee wit this vid and i hope to c u when my time comes to be with jesus christ!!!!!!!!

[ethanmerritt]

clayton buddy...diving last year wasnt the same, i miss u man..

[MrAmer1ca]

I recently gave a devotion to my school's christian group called Youth Alive, and it was about salvation. I used this video for it, and I just want to say that it really spoke to the hearts of my classmates. I thank God that he gave me this chance and thank Him for Clayton and the faith that he had. I hope I'll see Clayton in Heaven.

Thanks, God bless

[shoxman23]

Sadly, one of my best friends was really good friends with Clayton. I never met him, but I can't wait to see him

Praise the Lord

[knummer]

Hopefully everyone can aim to be remembered like this remarkable person....cant wait to see him up there

[kh2isftw]

this is the saddest thing every poor clayton :(

[Iloveedward1231]

That was a really moving story. It was sad, but it's good that he's gone to be with god.

[Noobded]

can someone post up the other part of the story. he has a fully in depth story also recorded

[chibikohai]

definitely! plz! someone post it! but what rlly touched me is that the speaker at the camp told us about him and clayton spent his last night and last breaths praising God and leading in worship. truely powerful

[emmabooboorawrr3able]

clayton, i misss you so much...i miss not seeing u at church </3 i know you can't read this but i hope ppl will realize how wonderful of a person he was/\...he impacted me so much...i'm a totally different person now. i feel like a peice is missing of me): i love you clayton R.I.P ♥

[mejoeyful]

I'm about to cry... This is so touching. I'm sitting here, in a beautiful hose, with a great life, perfectly healthy and happy while others are suffering... This puts life into perspective

[pitslutinblack]

that's crazy, this is my High School..well was, I graduated in 03 and his family lives right up the street from me, in fact my Father painted that red house the live in. He touched many lives from what I have been told, i'm just sad he was younger then me and I never got the meet him.

[MOO3223]

aw. i just got the goosebumps. true stories move me. but, i'm glad he's with God the Father right now =)

[xmjx13]

This was shown at my church and its an excilent video. i love the fact that he is speaking out to tlk bout something that matters. Its a shame that he had takin his last breath the day after this video was made. But its a good thing he knew where he were going and he is there now.

[Dianamarie012345]

I just returned from Hume lake and got the privilege to see Clayton's interview at Hume lake in February. He said many things along the same lines. Clayton's story has really moved me, and made me see how I can live out my life for God.

[cAiTyShEeK]

really? i saw this video at hume lake too! i just got back.

[hollisterguy890]

wow, this was really sad. but, clayton was right. we don't know when we're gonna die...my outlook on life has changed. may god bless his family&friends. i know they're heartbroken.

God is great& works in such mysteries ways. God is amazing& after seeing this i'm breathless at how God works. May God bless his family.

[mhardyowee]

wow! this video will impact a lot of people.. im gonna post this to my facebook and multiply.. its really beautiful.. God is magnified in this video.. thank you clayton for your life! i know u r already with God. thank you jacob for posting this, i saw this at threadsmedia. God bless you! Yes God answered ur prayers and many will be blessed through this video! thank you so much!!!

[BurkProductions]

My friend sent me this...I've thought about what he said before, but was afraid to share it with people, thinking they would judge me. But seeing someone like him say that, makes me feel fine about expressing how I feel about life.

[cblaskivich]

wow, what an amazing gift from God. I pray that i to will find a way not to be distracted by what satan throws at me day to day.

what an encouraging video!!!

God bless.

[Stan1208]

I watched this early this morning and thought about it a lot today.

[amoniane]

thank you so much for sharing

[JoshTerada]

We'll all see him one day!

[CarolsVideos]

Oh my God.... he passed a day after this was complete? Did he have a chance to see this? May bis soul rest in peace...

[psuedojacob]

We showed him the completed piece on Sunday night, he approved it and said "yeah, that's what I wanna say before I die" and the next morning he passed away.

Months prior to this, we begged God to keep alive until the end of this project so that his story could be told on a larger platform. It seems God answered our prayers.

[Zackie122]

God works in such amazing ways that it leaves you breathless and speechless

[lalarararadiano]

@psuedojacob maybe this was God's purpose for Clayton..that's why he died after this 'cause he had finished his mission.

i was so blessed when i saw this. i feel so lucky for i'm still living. yet i don't feel so lucky for he was right, i don't know when i'm gonna die. and i don't know my purpose yet..

anyways, may he rest in peace with the Lord.

[robindawn5]

@psuedojacob My son is Kyle Ward, he was a friend of Clayton's, and I know god works in very mysterious ways.. Clayton was well beyond his years, because he knew the true meaning of God. My mom always asked God to please let her live until my daughter, Kyles sister, turned 18, and she passed away 10 days before my daughter turned 18... God works his miracles among tragedy. May this young mans words bring peace to many out there who need it, who may not have the faith that you all do. GOD BLESS

[lametasticgirl]

God bless him

[toonib]

Wow...thank you for sharing. I really love the way you see the world Jacob!
