Because your one share can change someone’s life forever.

Mark 16:15
And He said to them, ‘Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.’

Praise the Lord, my friend,

The above verse tells us that Jesus has commanded us to share the good news with more and more people.

And, each one of us eagerly wants to do that, but we often struggle to start those conversations, even when we get an opportunity.

We fear that it might not go well, or the other person might think that we’re trying to impose our beliefs on them.

That feeling is valid, my friend, but it shouldn’t be an excuse for not sharing the gospel.

Sharing the good news is basically our faith in action; hence, it should be practiced at all costs.

If it is hard for you to do it in person, please do it through social media.

And, nooo, I’m not telling you to create content, my friend.

It’s wonderful if you can, but just sharing content about the word of God works too.

You might be thinking:
But sharing content about the word of God doesn’t really work. Because only believers engage with it, and my non-believer friends will straightaway ignore it.

If you think that, please hold on and let me tell you a short story. (Might get long, so please bear with me 😅)

It is about me, my name is Prasad, and I come from an atheist background.

For most of my life, I didn’t really believe a God was running this universe.

I never knew Jesus, nor His word.

But last year in October, I stumbled upon a sermon video shared by my online friend from Nepal while scrolling Facebook.

It was from the Koinonia Patan Church’s recent Sunday service.

Out of curiosity, I played it and watched till the end.

Next Sunday, she shared her church’s sermon on her feed, and I stumbled upon it again and watched it.

The same story continued for several weeks, and soon my entire social media feed was filled with animated Bible stories.

From the story of Moses parting the Red Sea, David defeating Goliath, and Noah building the ark, I learned about every story from the Bible.

Those stories made me more curious, and I started asking the questions I had to my friend.

She used to answer all my questions with some additional information from the Bible, which used to make me more curious.

And, to feed that curiosity, I decided to read the Bible at the start of this year.

First, I started with the Gospel according to Matthew and then moved to Mark.

After finishing Mark, I felt that just reading might not be enough, and it would be good if I surrounded myself with people who are practicing what I’m trying to understand.

Hence, I searched for a nearby church on Google, and as per God’s plan, I found the Disciples Community Chruch.

I contacted Pastor Benson, and it was decided that I’ll be attending my first Sunday service on the 19th of January 2025.

But then I started feeling that I won’t be able to attend it because on the night of the 18th, I was having severe lower back pain.

I didn’t know what to do, but then I remembered something my friend told me.

She told me to always ask and pray to God for guidance, healing, strength, or anything I need.

Being a newbie, I didn’t know how to pray properly, so I just said:

“Look, Jesus, tomorrow I’ll be attending a Sunday service for the first time, but if this pain persists, then I won’t be able to, so please do something about it.”

Within 2 minutes of saying that, my lower back pain vanished into thin air.

I attended the service, met some amazing people who feel like family now, got baptized in April, and here I am today writing this story to tell you about God’s works in my life.

All of this happened because somebody from a different country thought of just sharing a Sunday service video of their church on their Facebook feed.

You can also become that somebody for someone, my friend.

1 Corinthians 3:6

I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth.

Just share a verse, a sermon, a Bible story, anything you like, with a belief that you’re sowing a seed, and leave the rest upon God.

My friend, you might be from a region that doesn’t allow you to preach openly on the streets or conduct a fellowship gathering, but let it not stop you.

Use social media and the power of your one share, and let’s reach more and more people with God’s goodness.

Ecclesiastes 11:6

Sow your seed in the morning, and at evening let your hands not be idle, for you do not know which will succeed.

And, don’t get discouraged if you don’t see the results right away or not at all, my friend.

Something that you shared years ago might have changed someone’s heart today.

Hence, have faith, and keep sharing, praying, and trusting the one who turned the persecutor Saul into the Apostle Paul.

John 14:27

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

And, while sharing, please, don’t share the Gospel that talks more about prosperity and not the peace that Jesus has given us.

Unfortunately, social media is filled with content about, You’ll get this big of a house and this sports car after coming to Jesus.

Hence, let us take this burden to share the content that reflects the raw and true Gospel, the message of Jesus, and not materialism, and let it overshadow the misleading content.

Will you?

Let me know by responding to this story.

God bless you.

And, choose yourself, my friend.

Let them go, my friend.
Not because you’re unkind,
but because you’ve carried the weight of “almost” for far too long.

You’ve waited for texts that never came,
reread old conversations, hoping to find where it all shifted.
You’ve blamed yourself for someone else’s silence.

You’ve stayed up scrolling, heart in your throat,
watching their life move on without you.
And somehow, you still hoped they’d come back
With the right words this time.

But they didn’t. And maybe they never will.

So now, let them go.
Let go of the what-ifs, the unfinished stories,
The versions of love that only existed in your head.

Let go of checking their socials at 2 am,
telling yourself it’s just curiosity.
When really, you’re aching to be remembered.

And instead… choose yourself.
Wake up and stretch without checking your phone, expecting their message.

Choose yourself in the small ways,
Clean the space you’ve been ignoring,
Open the window and let new air in,
Play that one song you loved before they came and made everything feel complicated.

You’re not broken.
You’re just tired of showing up for people
who never noticed when you started to disappear.

But this, this is where you begin again.

Not because everything is okay.
But because you’re learning that it’s okay to let go of people
Who made you feel like too much and not enough at the same time

You’re allowed to take up space.
You’re allowed to stop performing wholeness
for people who only wanted your highlight reel.

And as you learn to choose yourself,
you’ll see that the peace you were begging for
was always waiting for you to come home.

So yeah, let them go.
Not to prove a point,
But to finally give yourself
The love you kept trying to give away.

Thank you for reading, my friend.

Choose yourself, softly.

Hey, my friend,

We’ve been taught to say “yes” often, no?

To be agreeable, helpful, and to show up, even when we are feeling drained.

But somewhere along the way, we forget that we’re allowed to rest, too.

That setting a boundary is not actually a barrier, but it’s an act of self-love.

So, if you’ve been feeling stretched thin lately, if saying “yes” has started to cost you your peace.

This one’s for you:

Let me tell you this, my friend,
it’s okay to say no.

You don’t have to carry everything,
you’re allowed to let some things go.

I know you worry they’ll be upset,
that you’ll disappoint or seem unkind.

But bending past your breaking point
won’t bring you peace of mind.

You’ve been there for them, haven’t you?
Smiling when your heart felt sore.

Saying “yes” while whispering “please,”
Hoping no one asks for more.

But listen, saying “no” is not rejection.
It’s a boundary wrapped in care.

It’s you choosing to honor your limits,
and showing yourself you’re there.

You’re not selfish for needing rest.
You’re not cold for stepping back.

You’re just a human, like the rest of us,
trying to fill what life might lack.

So the next time you feel that pull,
to please, to prove, to stretch too far,

Pause for a moment and ask yourself:
“Is this kindness to me, too?”

Then give yourself permission to choose,
a calm, caring “no” when it’s right.

Not out of guilt, but out of love,
for your own peace, your own light.

Thank you for reading.
