I'm asking you to use your brains for this post! I know, it's hard! I'm still trying to find mine!!
But imagine if God had facebook!
Imagine if one day He posted as His status :- 'Like my status and I'll tell you what I like about you'.
You will probably recognise that status as something that gets posted up a lot on facebook these days. As human beings, we love approval. It means that we must be doing something right in our lives and gives us confidence. Whilst I love people being encouraged & built up, I get an uncomfortable feeling seeing these statuses.
The reason for this is:- What makes their opinion better than others?
We're never going to please everyone in life no matter what we do, so there will always be people ready to say unpleasant things about us. So whose opinion really counts?
This brings me back to God's facebook! His opinion counts more because He is bigger & better than us and that He knows everything.
If we 'liked' this 'status of God's, what would He say? Maybe He might say one of these...
Isaiah 43:4
Since you are precious and honored in my sight, and because I love you, I will give people in exchange for you, nations in exchange for your life.
John 3:16
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
1 Peter 2:9
But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.
Love it! xx
ReplyDeleteThanks!! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the idea you propose of how God would answer if we liked His status...It's an amazing reminder that His opinion is the only one that matters and we need to be striving for His approval alone :) I love to think what He would tell if we did like His status :)
