What would you like to unlike?

A Facebook friend of mine posted this today:

“Phew, I gotta be real careful what things I ‘like’ on here. So glad I can ‘unlike’ something that I misread at first.”

That’s the nice thing about social media, we can undo our mistakes. We can remove posts. We can drop tweets. We can edit our writing. We can eliminate our mistakes.

So different from life!

We can’t undo the thoughts, emotions, and desires we’ve had. And we certainly can’t go back and undo our actions. All these things are a part of our history.

All of us have things we wish we could “unlike.” Things we’ve said. Passions and desires we’ve allowed into our thoughts and hearts. Things we’ve done. The Apostle Paul described it this way:

“For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard,” Romans 3:23.

But God can change those mistakes, those errors … those sins.

ONLY God can undo the wrong we’ve done.

We may still have some consequences to work through, but the cost for our sins were paid for and forever eliminated by Jesus Christ:

“For his unfailing love toward those who fear him is as great as the height of the heavens above the earth. He has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the west,” Psalm 103:11-12.

Because of His love for us, Jesus “unlikes” our sin. Going forward, He rewrites our lives into great stories of transformation.
