My follower count grows at a snail pace. The flesh in me sometimes looks at my peers who work so hard to gain followers (and succeed) with curiosity and occasional envy (if I’m being honest).
But I made a decision years ago to not live here. I wanted to live in the world and not of the world. For some, a large digital platform is a tool and for others it’s a vice.
I have found both to be true for me. So navigating the balance (if such a place exists) in loving people well while not getting caught up in the desire to be “loved” by all the people… is where I find myself often.
I have a crappy “online presence” because I don’t value it enough. I value you. Face to face. I am not better than those who value you here tho. I just see more fruit in my tangible life. I LOVE people and more than that, Jesus.
This place (social media) is AMAZING and for those of you who are here and cheer me on or give me a second or 3 of your attention…. Thank you. But let me tell you about love.
Love looks like dying.
Dying to myself each day- bc my God died for me once and for all.
So I’m here, dying to myself. Trying to … and learning more about Him and His love for me and for you each day.
To hear more on the topic of fruitfulness and achievement, tune into Church of the City NY on podcasts. Oct 12,2027 sermon by Jon Tyson. He’s the best!
