Like Facebook, but Better

Seen on Facebook, paraphrased from Wisdom Quotes …

“Think about it … God is a lot like Facebook, but better. He “gets” all wall posts and comments. He accepts all friendship requests. He allows people to de-friend Him but He won’t delete anyone from His friends list. He knows when someone is no longer with Him, whenever a friendship comes to an end for some valid reason. For true believers, He is always available for an online chat. He likes everyone’s posts and requests, and He shares messages of love and gratitude through His friends and yours.”

Clever way to say this. Those of us on Facebook can appreciate the comparison, though Facebook is too often trivial and sometimes feels like the exact opposite of God and His grace. That said, this is a new way of looking at God as a true friend, always there with an ear, no matter what you want to “facebook” about.

• You can share anything, in any way you choose … and He will listen.
• You can be there with Him every day or once in a blue moon … and He will still be available.
• You can forget about Him and spend too much time on foolish things that don’t really matter … and He will wait patiently for your return.
• You can be a constant friend or even stop believing in Him … and He won’t hold that against you.
• You can decide to chat at any time of the day or night … and He will be ready at a moment’s notice.
• You can ask for His help … and He will answer you, in His own way.

There is one thing that I know is different … God doesn’t play games. With Him, all things are for real. Interesting perspective to consider …
