How many friends do you have on your social media accounts?
I remember when I added up all of my friends, followers, and
subscribers to find out how many lives I could affect with my social media
posts. All my accounts were small, but they rounded up to a total of almost
2,000 people. Today, that number is much bigger.
When I think about which content to share on my Twitter,
LinkedIn, and Facebook accounts, I try to find inspirational quotes that make
us all smile or laugh. I try to find a helpful, but challenging article that
pushes us to do better.
I have occasionally created a graphic that displays a Bible verse
in a way that makes it memorable. Then when I’ve posted, I interact with those
who comment about how much they appreciated my post.
Today’s goal is: Be an example of God’s love by sharing positive
social media posts.
When the whole world seems to be groaning like it does these
days, an inspirational Bible verse on your post shows God’s love and works like
the medicine. It brings healing. It reminds the reader that God is love. He
cares. He heals.
Be friendly. You can teach your friends and followers to
show God’s love when you Share on Facebook or ReTweet on Twitter. When you find
cheerful posts others have created, decide whether it is something that your
friends and followers would appreciate. Give your social media network
something that brightens their day and uplifts them as they browse through the
posts.
You’d be surprised at how many people you can affect. We can
make a difference in this world.
