Sincerely, Kindred

We weren’t meant to be available 24/7.
We weren’t meant to be on all the time.
We weren’t meant to be in need of distractions constantly.

We were meant to get BORED.
To be okay with being ALONE
We were meant to PAUSE
to be okay with resting our mind, heart, and soul

So we can be available to God 24/7
So we can be ready to pray all the time.
So we can be in need of divinely communioning with a Holy God.

If you’re struggling with anxiety, try to practice gratitude. Try to name 5 things you are grateful for.

“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭6‬ ‭NLT‬‬

“Many nations will be joined with the Lord in that day and will become MY people.”

Revelations 7:9
“After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands,”

Isaiah 1:17
“Learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless, plead the widow's cause.”
🔈
James 1:27
“Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.”

Let’s take any guilt and just set it aside. Pick it up. Put it right over there. Okay. Let’s ask ourselves. How are we using our influence?

Social media gives EVERYONE a voice. So what are you saying?

A lot of us use social media for promotion. I’m promoting my freelance, my business, my art, my words, my craft, my hobbies, my blog, my podcast, my baking, my politics, my heartbeats, etc.

Or... myself. Here’s my vacation. Here’s my happiness in a photo. Here’s my baby. Here’s my family. Here’s my ministry. Here’s my dogs. Here’s me, me, me.

That’s great! Remember! The guilt is over there, don’t go grab it. You and I are chatting.

So, where is Jesus in your social? Is He apart of your platform? Is He a topic of your influence? How are you sharing Him? Through your life? Through a meme? Through a GIF?

Sometimes we approach social media as MINE. It’s an entitlement thing. We don’t always broadcast it but a lot of even use it to “relax” to “veg” to just chill on our phones.

I just want to invite you as I challenge myself to let Jesus in. To prayer a simple prayer:
“Jesus, would you shine through this platform?”

Amen? Amen.
Now feel free to do what you will with that guilt. Legalism will tell you to hold to it tight. Love will help you let it go. The choice is yours.

I hope you choose to believe in Jesus’ love for you!
Sincerely,
Kindred
