LinkedIn Focuses Too Much On Pride rather than Humility

I find as I start to use Linkedin more and more that I see so many young people unfortunately bound up in the world and self-importance more so than understanding the need to see their overall creation and existence on this planet. Sure I will more than likely receive no connections nor understanding but I need to say things as they are from my own viewpoint. When flickering through the Linkedin accounts, especially of younger people, there is so much of a focus on image, money and materialism. Yes that is what is supposed to drive the world but it sadly destroys the soul. Was this something I made up? Well not so if you read the Bible and understand the words of Jesus. Jesus said so clearly in Matthew 6:24

No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.

I find also that in the world I am perceived as broken, an annoyance and sadly even more so a burden but I know that Jesus also said in John 16:33

I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

So am I requesting anything? The way I look at my life on this planet is to do the best I can to make sense of this world even though I am not of the world. My mission from God is to share the love of His Son and Our Lord (or should I say more in this secular country and world, my Lord and saviour?) with the rest of the world. God looks at our hearts but so many younger people today seem to focus more so on image and believe themselves to be their own god when they cannot offer any answer or explanation as to how they became their so called own god in the first place? A god so to speak can only exist from the way I see it as a power beyond one's means of existence. Not sure if they entirely makes sense but the Bible says it so clearly that man was created first and it is not me who says this but the Bible in Genesis 2:7

Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.

This world is not perfect but people seem to not fully understand that sin is the problem for the Bible again says in Romans 3:23

For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

It seems though that on Linkedin there are too many hardened hearts with the world and sadly not even the Holy Spirit can enter them as the words of Jesus said in bringing the Holy Spirit to help Him on earth. Jesus said in John 14:16-18

I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever— 17 the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be[ a] in you. 18 I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.

I write this article with a 'scratchy throat' and a bit of an annoying cold but despite these minor afflictions I feel compelled to write and share this post in such a hardened and pagan world. For me I don't want idolatry nor popularity but more so the honest words of the Bible in that man can only come to God and go beyond this world through Jesus as Mediator , not the pope, nor an Archbishop, or a Priest and Church Minister. Only Jesus is the means of knowing God and for man to come to know Him as the Bible says in 1 Timothy 2:5 where the Apostle Paul spoke to Timothy saying in 1 Timothy 2:5

For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus.

So to conclude this post which I guess may or may not set a precedent in the 'world sense' I know that salvation is not by me but by accepting, loving and understanding Jesus. I am not a Protestant nor a Catholic I am as Billy Graham said below to define God:

Religion is man's attempt to reach God and Christianity is God's attempt to reach man.

In conclusion it would be good to see some more accessions rather than rejections on Linkedin for I may be on the Autism Spectrum and an annoyance in your terms and the world's but we all I've in this world together made by God and in His image so why not try and learn to open your hearts more and not judge as Jesus said in Matthew 7:1-6

Judging Others

7 “Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

3 “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye?5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

6 “Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.

God Bless everyone. Amen
