Likes

Once while at the shop, I overheard a group of young women chatting about the number of likes and followers that they have on Facebook and Instagram.

In this age of digital technology (and social distancing), most of us are into social media.

And for those who are trying to promote their stuff to other people, whether it's an FB post, Instagram story, or YouTube video, or a product, service or idea that we are trying to sell, it's so tempting to validate our worth on the likes and views that we get.

While it does have its joys (just doing it for fun), it also tends to discourage us and make us feel like crap sometimes, particularly when we start comparing ourselves with others.  And that's the sad part.

The numbers that we get from likes, followers, or views are not who we are.

Our worth is based on who God says we are.  His children.  His beloved.

May we always remember that.

Then the world will surely be a happier place!
