When I began facebook I expected to be treated the way my family treated me. That is to be ignored, mocked and rejected continually. However, I promised God that I would continue anyway even if no one payed attention or validated me. BECAUSE He was the One Who was telling me to do it, it didn't matter whether anyone would like it. He said "use it for Me."
Then something happened that I did not expect! People began liking and requesting friendship, it was a shock to me. Well, having been treated as I was all of my life by family I expected over time eventually these people would dislike me too.
The shock was that those who have requested friendships with me chose me because they were like minded with me. They enjoyed hearing Biblical principles and scriptures as much as I do. These people have been a great blessing to me.
God allowed the medium of facebook for believers who were like minded to connect during these end times when so many are alone without support for their walk with Christ.
I have many brothers and sisters now that I have never met but value as much as if we had met them.
Having been mocked for being on facebook by "Christians" or those I might call pretenders, I realize that they do not know even remotely what we do here. Because they have no inclination to connect with born again believers who are on fire for the Lord, they think our friends are not real friends. Most people are using their facebook to boast about their lives, even though they only present the "good" things as though they live in a utopia in their own minds. Impressing people is more important to them than speaking about Christ.
I expect to see my born again facebook friends at the marriage supper of the Lamb soon. They are my forever family, who bless me as I am allowed to freely share my heart about the things of the Lord. We do not always completely agree but we love one another, accept one another as our conversation is around Christ. There is a love and respect that we do not see in our families or the communities in which we live. It blesses me greatly. I praise the Lord for all my brothers and sisters who are authentically born again and moving forward in their walk all the time.
Proverbs 18:24
"24 A man of too many friends comes to [a]ruin,
But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother."
Proverbs 13:20
"20 He who walks with wise men will be wise,
But the companion of fools will suffer harm."
John 15:13
"13 Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends."
Proverbs 27:17
"17 Iron sharpens iron,
So one man sharpens another."
Ecclesiastes 4:12
"12 And if one can overpower him who is alone, two can resist him. A cord of three strands is not quickly torn apart."
Hallelujah!!!!
