If another believer sins against you, go privately and point out the offense. If the other person listens and confesses it, you have won that person back.
- Matthew 18:15 (NLT)
Let’s talk about social media.
I personally have a love/hate relationship with social media because it can be a good thing or a horrible thing.
It’s good when it allows people to reconnect with long lost friends and family members, and it bridges the distance by instantly sharing your life with your connections.
But it has become the norm to post everything on social media, from baby’s first steps to what you are having for dinner.
Things that used to be kept private are now put on display for the whole world to like, share, comment and discuss.
This can cause a lot of hurt and a lot of harm.
Recently I have become aware of several pages that are set up specifically to call people out when others make questionable decisions.
Instead of posting random vague jabs at people that you feel have wronged you, take the advice in the Bible.
Instead of posting negative things on social media for the whole world to bash the person that offended you, speak to that person directly and privately.
You might be surprised to learn that he or she did not even realize they hurt you.
Once the issue is out in the open and resolved, you can move forward with your relationship.
That my friends, is a win/win.
