What Would God Do?

I recently cleaned up my Twitter account by unfollowing those who were not following me or have not been active for over a year. I also muted those accounts filled with ads, "follow me!" tweets or hate.

While I was doing so, I felt an inner tug asking: What would God do? I grumbled that this is MY twitter account and I should be free to do as I please. After all, I don't want all that "crap" my stream, and if someone doesn't want to follow me, I assume it's because they do not want to interact with me. So why not unfollow them?

But the nudge came again: What would God do? I had to acknowledge the Truth.

God does not turn from us (unfollow), when we turn from God ~ ever. Nor does God turn from us, even though we have been quiet for a very long time. God is always with us, even those of us who do not believe in God.

God never mutes us.

I say stuff that disappoints God. God sees and hears my own bitterness, my own angry words that I may or may not regret. God knows my every thought, both hateful and loving.

Still, God loves me - and every one of us - unconditionally. No matter what we say, God always listens.

God never mutes my own advertisements either, whether they be prayers about myself or requests for things that the world sells to me, such as a nice house, a new car, an exotic vacation, a great job so I can buy what I desire above my basic needs. A winning lottery ticket would be nice too. The answer may be a gentle no, but God still listens ~ Always!

God never blocks us, either. While some consider Hell in the afterlife equivalent to a Twitter "block," the truth is that God never blocks anyone -- even Satan.

Those who are in the condition of Hell block their connection with God themselves. They hit that little "I don't want to talk to God; I don't want God to see what I say and do; I don't want to hear what God has to say" button on their Twitter account (allegorically).

But always remember: as one can always unblock someone  on Twitter, one can likewise always unblock their connection to the Divine... even from the depths of Hell.

Whether something big in my life, or something as simple as managing my Twitter account, I can learn and grow by asking the simple question:

What would God do?
