Would God Like, Share, +1, Retweet, or Repost You?


Let's say God was perusing social media, be it Facebook, Twitter, Google +, etc. Would He give you the coveted click of affirmation? Would He confirm your friend request? Would He follow you? Would He, oh joy of joys, invite His friends to like you?

If your life were a blog, would God comment? Would He come back to read your next post? Would the keywords in your life show up if God did a Google search? Would God sign up on Feedburner to get your blog by email?

This may seem farfetched, silly, immature, or just stupid, but it's simply the same question of old put in modern terms. Is your life worthy of God?

Would God smile when He looked through the photos you uploaded? Would He want to follow the links you shared? Would He invite your friends to His page? Would He follow your friends?

Or would God block you? Would your page be too vulgar, your photos too pornographic, your posts too offensive for Him? I'm not talking about your sins being forgiven. I'm talking about what your life looks like. Because it matters.

Most of us have seen a post on someone's Facebook wall or Google + stream we didn't agree with or were offended by. But, unless it was horribly contradictory to our values, or followed a pattern of offensiveness, we were willing to overlook it. But if someone regularly posts garbage that shows up as you scroll through, what do you do? Here comes the cliche: What would Jesus do?

Would God take the time to click the thumbs up on the story of your life? If not, it's time to rethink your content.
