The Posts Will Reach All God Intended Them to Reach

In a world where voices are amplified across digital platforms, it is both surprising and unsettling when messages of faith and personal reflection are met with resistance. Recently, two of my posts were reported and blocked—not because they were offensive, but because they mentioned God. Out of over 1,700 views in just 48 hours, a small number of complaints triggered a restriction. It made me pause and reflect: What is it about faith-based discussions that make some people so uncomfortable? And why do references to God seem to provoke pushback in ways that other topics do not?

After taking time to sit with this, I realized that this moment was an opportunity—not a setback. It opened the door to a much deeper conversation about the differences between religion, being religious, and spirituality.

Religion, Being Religious, and Spirituality: What’s the Difference?

• Religion is a structured system of beliefs, practices, and moral codes. It often includes sacred texts, places of worship, and traditions passed down through generations. Religion provides guidance, but it is not the only path to faith.
• Being religious means actively practicing a religion—following its doctrines, participating in rituals, and committing to its teachings. A person can be religious and deeply spiritual, but some may follow religious customs without a personal spiritual connection.
• Spirituality is deeply personal. It transcends organized religion and focuses on an individual’s direct connection with God or a higher power. It is about seeking truth, growth, and purpose beyond rituals and traditions.

For me, I identify more with spirituality than religious practices. My posts are not about pushing doctrine but sharing my lived experiences—how my faith shapes my perspectives and choices. Yet, for some, even the mention of God is enough to cause discomfort, leading them to report and attempt to silence it.

Why Faith-Based Discussions Are Often Misunderstood

It is interesting how some see any reference to God as an attempt to impose beliefs on others. Yet, faith—whether through religion or spirituality—is not about forcing ideas. It is about walking in truth and sharing experiences authentically.

Social media algorithms often flag content based on reports rather than true violations of community standards. If enough people disagree with a perspective, it can be silenced—even if that perspective is positive, encouraging, or deeply personal. The irony is that these same platforms allow divisive, harmful, and even hateful content to spread without interference.

So, what does this tell me? That opposition often arises when something is impactful. If a message is stirring hearts, pushing people to think, or resonating on a deep level, there will always be resistance. And that’s okay.

Faith Can’t Be Blocked

When my posts were reported, I had a choice. I could edit them to fit an algorithm’s comfort zone, or I could stand firm in what I wrote. I chose the latter because my truth is not up for negotiation.

More importantly, I rest in the fact that the posts will reach all God intended them to reach. A blocked post does not mean a silenced message. It simply means that those meant to receive it will still find it—through another post, a conversation, or an unexpected encounter. Faith is not contained within a platform’s guidelines. It is lived, breathed, and carried in our everyday interactions.

A Final Reflection

If there is one lesson to take from this, it is this: Never let opposition cause you to shrink your faith. Whether you are religious, spiritual, or somewhere in between, your experiences are valid. Your journey with God is yours alone, and no report, restriction, or digital barrier can take that away.

So, to those who resonate with my words—keep standing in your truth. Keep walking in faith. Keep sharing what is placed on your heart. Because even when voices try to silence it, God’s message will always find its way to those who are meant to receive it.

And that, my friends, is something that no report button can ever change.
