I felt the Lord say to His people:
“Your sense of humour is a gift from me. Use it wisely and don’t let it be polluted.”
As I pressed in more, He had more to say. What I wrote below came from that time with Him.
You know that condescending but funny guy you follow on social media?
The one who always sounds like he’s judging the world with a smirk?
Unfollow him. His “better than thou” attitude is sneaking into your thinking, making you feel like you’ve earned a seat on the panel of life’s talent show.
You know that TikTok creator who pokes fun at older folks, younger folks, “Karens,” or pet owners?
Unfollow them too. Their snarky, suspicious tone is shaping how you see people. It’s nudging you to assume the worst, judge quickly, and forget that most folks are just doing their best—or maybe just having a Monday.
You do become what you behold.
I want to behold Him.
I want others to behold His attributes when they see what I write or hear what I say.
I can’t get away from Philippians 4:8.
And so I ask myself—and I ask you:
Are you authentic and real on social media?
You don’t pretend to have it all together. That gives others permission to be human, too.
Are you honourable?
You post with integrity. You speak with respect. You treat others with dignity—even the ones who constantly post without checking their facts. People trust you, not because you demand it, but because your life whispers, “You’re safe here.”
You are beautiful and respectful.
Your beauty isn’t just filtered lighting and good angles. It’s in the way you show up with kindness, humility, and grace. You treat everyone like they matter—because they do. Dale Carnegie would be proud.
You are pure and holy.
You don’t dabble in drama or follow those who are always speculating. You aim to post with clean motives, and it shows. Your timeline reflects a heart that wants to honour God, not just trend.
You are merciful and kind.
You forgive quickly. You give people room to be awkward or wrong or human. You don’t ghost someone just because they posted one off-key thought. You show up with grace, not a gavel. People leave your comments feeling better about the world.
You celebrate the good in others.
You’re not counting likes or follower numbers like it’s a popularity contest. You cheer others on, even when no one’s watching. You notice what’s good in people and call it out.
Are You a Philippians 4:8 kind of person?
You bring peace into the room. You reflect Jesus—welcoming, wise, trustworthy, and kind enough to sit beside someone no one else notices. People walk away from your presence (and your posts) feeling a little more whole.
Compassion first. A chuckle, last.
Until Next Week
