Don't Engage: The Trap of Oversharing & Seeking Validation Online
In a world that thrives on attention, it’s tempting to engage—whether it’s offering unsolicited advice, flaunting success, or exposing personal struggles for validation. But Matthew 6:3 reminds us: "But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing."
Not everything needs to be shared. Oversharing invites criticism, envy, and even spiritual attacks. Many turn to social media because they lack real connection, but in doing so, they open the door to false validation, pride, and emotional instability.
Truth: No one can say you said or did something if you never put it out there. Protect your peace. Guard your family. Nurture your soul. Don’t engage. Choose wisdom over attention.
