Some lessons in life don’t need to be taught with words—sometimes, they reveal themselves through experiences. Over the last few days, I have watched this unfold in real time. Posts that I created—messages rooted in truth, faith, and personal experience—were blocked, flagged, and met with resistance. Not because they violated any community guidelines, not because they spread misinformation or harm, but simply because they mentioned God.
Out of over 1,700 views in 48 hours, a small handful of reports were enough to trigger restrictions, forcing me to either appeal, edit, or let it be. But here’s the truth: I don’t need to fight a battle that isn’t mine. And I certainly won’t start editing my truth to fit into someone else’s comfort zone.
The Truth About Light and Darkness
This experience only reminded me of something I’ve always known: Light and darkness don’t mix. When truth is spoken, when light shines in dark spaces, it makes some people uncomfortable. It exposes things that they would rather keep hidden. And for some, the mere mention of faith is enough to provoke a reaction—not because they’re being harmed, but because they feel convicted in a way they can’t fully explain.
What I’ve Learned From This
1️⃣ Some people would rather silence truth than confront it. It’s easier for some to hit a “report” button than to simply scroll past something they don’t agree with. But their discomfort does not mean my message was wrong—it means it hit a nerve. And sometimes, that’s exactly what truth is meant to do.
2️⃣ Being asked to separate faith from everyday life is unrealistic. Someone suggested that I create or join a “religious group” to share my posts—as if faith and spirituality are topics that belong in a separate, hidden corner. But faith is not a category; it is a way of living. It shapes decisions, perspectives, and interactions. It cannot be boxed in just because it makes some people uneasy.
3️⃣ If my words weren’t powerful, they wouldn’t be opposed. If what I shared didn’t matter, if it didn’t carry weight, it wouldn’t have been flagged at all. Opposition only comes when something is reaching people—and that is confirmation that I’m walking in purpose.
4️⃣ The battle is not mine. I don’t have to fight every system, appeal every block, or convince anyone of my right to speak. I will continue posting, continue shining, and if they feel the need to keep blocking my words, that’s on them. God’s got me. And when God is the one opening doors, no human hand can shut them.
A Final Word: Keep Walking in Light
To those who have ever felt silenced, blocked, or met with resistance for standing in their truth, let this be your reminder: The enemy doesn’t attack what isn’t a threat. If you are facing opposition, it means you are shining brightly in a place that wasn’t prepared for your light. Keep shining anyway. Keep walking in faith, in purpose, and in truth.
Because at the end of the day, light and darkness don’t mix—and that’s exactly why the light always wins.
