RELAX...it's just Facebook :-)



From Kimberly Jones-Pothier: The enemy loves to distract us with that ugly offense spirit. He can't mess with you physically or even take things away from you, because he's not capable, where he gets you, is in your mind. If he sees a crack in a doorway of your life, he's going to create havoc in your life. Pay attention to your heart posture. Don't jump to conclusions, getting mad at someone when you don't have all of your facts straight. An ugly heart will block your blessings. Communication KILLS assumption.

 
Example: getting mad at people that delete you. Facebook has glitches, people get unfriended often without people being aware. Relax…It's just Facebook!

Example: seeing someone's status update and assuming they are talking about you. Relax…They probably aren't even thinking about you.

Example: seeing one of your friends liking one of your "use to be friends" status updates. Feeling like they are choosing them over you. Relax…Just because you don't like them don't mean they don't have to like them.

Example: seeing that “church gossip” from your church preaching about exactly what she does on Facebook. Relax...Maybe God's doing a work in her heart. Maybe she's preaching to herself!

Example: seeing pictures of a bunch of your friends who went out without you and you got no invitation. Relax…Maybe it was a last minute decision and they all invited themselves and didn't need a formal invite.

Example: thinking a person changed because they don't give you the attention they use too. Relax…Maybe their lives have gotten so busy that they're still trying to figure out how to juggle it all. Or maybe they're in their own storm and it has nothing to do with you. They just choose to not be down and out in public.

Example: getting offended when people you know don't ever "like" your Facebook status. Relax...Maybe they don't want 1000 notifications. Just do you!

Example: seeing that person you went on a date with who promised you they would text you the next day and they haven't, but yet they are on all their social media pages. Relax…They just aren't that into you. Rejection is God's protection!
