Inspire someone on Twitter during this dark period in history.
By Kaitlin Kaiser — Written on Mar 26, 2020
One post on Twitter can go viral on social media. Words make a difference in someone's life.
So, why not post a comforting Bible verse during today's COVID-19 crisis?
Why post comforting Bible verses on Twitter?
We are always looking for inspiration and social media is a great way to communicate globally during times of social distancing.
The potential of death and the fear the world faces at the prospects of losing someone they love open the hearts of everyone.
People are searching desperately for a kind word, a thought that inspires or to reach for the faith and the great beyond in hopes of finding answers.
There are so many questions swirling around on social media when it comes to the COVID-19 crisis.
From what it looks like, feels like and what to do if you suspect that you have caught it.
But, one question that many people have in their hearts also involves a question about their faith — why would God allow something like this to happen.
A post on places like Twitter informs the world and gives them a reason to think deeply.
When people go on Twitter, they want to find poetry in life.
Social media fuels our motivation (or demotivates us) for living, working and loving others during times of hardship.
What makes Twitter so powerful is its ability to make a point in a concise way.
It's because we generally want our inspiration and comfort to come in a few short words.
During this COVID-19 crisis, we have heard celebrities give us their point of view.
They help us to change our perspective and to see light in the darkness, too.
When people post on Twitter, they turn to poets and philosophers to retweet their words, but sometimes a hashtag may lead someone to you.
But what we don’t realize is some of the best one-liners can come directly from the ancient texts, such as a comforting Bible verse.
It may seem like the Bible is too old or out of date to apply to our lives in modern times, but I encourage you to give it a chance.
Regardless if you are a religious person or not, these stanzas provide comfort to us all.
Here 10 best Bible verses to use as comforting quotes as posts on Twitter.
