Social Media ie facebook etc In the last little while, I have been guilty ( like most people ) of allowing my own needs of recognition and comforting support to influence my judgement on the way I use facebook. For that my dear friends and family, I sincerly apologise. It is has been brought to my attention, through the knowlege I have gained in studying the true word of God The Father that although my sharing of my personal challenges and the affects they are having on me are very important to my ability to overcome and be successful in my pursuit of peace and satisfaction, the way I share them, with whom I share them, when I share them and finally, WHAT I SHARE, could in fact be the thing that determines whether or not I end up happy, sad, angry, mean spirited, hurtful, or even worse totally ignored &/or abandoned by the sources of support I am desperately seeking at the particular moment of my situation. So, in my defence, I just want to say I have no excuse other then the fact that I am still human and just because I am saved by grace, washed in the blood, and a perfect child in the eyes of my heavenly father, (key word is CHILD) I often forget that HE my GOD is the very first one I should confide my troubles, my accomplishments, my desires and every need I have no matter what or how significant they are to me. Then and only then should I begin to share things with all my friends, family, and the entire social network because once I have received the Fathers pure and gracious love, affection, advice ie even if not completely understood at the time, as I put my fingers to the keyboard and share my life He will direct my words, my thoughts, my actions, my desires and YES RESPONSES RECEIVED, so that the moment I press that enter button, my posting will not only be unmistakably honest, it will not produce hurtful, vengeful, condemning, untrue or any other negative results that would turn me and my plight into an undesirable, boring, nasty or simply humiliating experience for everyone or anyone who reads it. Instead, with His guidance I would serve Him and all people who read my posts by sharing positive, uplifting, benificial, and relevant information that would bring to me a return on my social status investment much like receiving a huge income tax refund in the natural. It will provide me with the satisfaction, love and affection that I like every person on the net is seeking. What proof do I have of this? Simple! When I share here first and seek God second, the words I share are mine and are tainted with negative pain and suffering caused from living everyday life. They hurt others, even people who I least expect to see them because sometimes in my need to strike out at those who may well deserve it in my humble opinion, I unknowingly am sending the same message to everyone who sees it and that ends up creating a vicious circle of negativity and even hatred which (& I know many don t like to acknowledge him) the enemy of us all the devil is relying on to sustain his worldly control. That is the fuel that he needs to keep me and everyone using the media under his complete control so that he can not only manipulate but destroy our very happiness. In this way, he keeps us from ever being able to see the real glory, compassion, love & acceptance and true natural pride we have through the Grace of God. With that being said, I want to commit myself today to doing my very best to consult first with my heavenly father before sharing, confiding, expressing or retalliating through any means Both verbally and socially online so that He can give me the ABILITY, STABILITY, HUMILITY,KINDNESS AND FORGIVING NATURE to provide uplifting, positive, encouraging, knowledgeable and understanding posts that will use this wonderful creation of social media to bring glory and happiness to the kingdom of heaven and all of Gods creations in this earth. When I forget and let something that does not glorify God or his people ( and I know I will) slip out through my fingers or my voice I thank God for His Grace in providing me with those in my circle of believers who would not be afraid to remind me of the high stakes that my words whether spoken or written are capable of producing. The Lord Jesus as my witness, I declare that from this moment forward I am putting myself on notice to be responible and prepared to do whatever it takes to confess and repent everytime I inadvertly or deliberately post something on my pages that is negative, condescending, hurtful, unthoughtful, or just plain unnecessary to my Father God who will than with time and committment to my happiness change me into the person He created me to be so that I can then use this wonderful tool called the Internet do do good and not harm to those including myself who desperately need it in their lives. In His Service Amen
