I love Wattsapp groups! I believe this application has touched the lives of many, reunited departed friends, created efficiency in communication and a platform of sharing ideas and thoughts. Above all, despite watching from afar (another country) I see that it has impacted drastically our social habits..and pre-outings agreements :-)
I specially love this moment when someone just starts a chain of "happy birthday" messages. Once this message pops on my screen, I prepare my phone battery to receive the full day flooding chain of messages on that same wattsapp group congratulating that same person. It became part of the unwritten protocol of wattsapp! You CAN NOT NEGLECT and you Shall NOT forget reacting along with the group...I tell you, it will be questioned, wandered and analyzed. In that moment, There is an urge inside you pushing to type a may-be redundant by now "happy Birthday ya ... (And some smileys, hearties, huggies, w taratir)". You feel it's too much but you still do it...because you belong to that group, you cant just keep watching, you act and add your value in that virtual world. I am sure by now you have a smile on your face recalling one these moments!
Yes, it is this same urge or call of "Do not neglect". We are simply called to react to it and bring it alive..we need to be worthy of that group. It is strange that we can feel the pressure of a wattsapp protocol, yet we can easily Forget or neglect our real life protocol. You and I are called for higher purposes. Do not neglect the urge to do good, to share His love and bring it to a world that, day after day, hungers more for God's presence...through YOU! Do not accept being passive in the REAL world we live in, start by your home, family, work, friends....show them "the sacrifices that are pleasing to God".
Do not neglect to do good TODAY my friend!

Do you know that you and I belong to another bigger group..a wireless one too..a group connected all over the globe by faith, by one heart, under One God. St. Paul the apostle wrote a lot about the group we belong too and clearly reminded us of the following urge:
"Do not NEGLECT to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God." (Hebrews 13:16)
"Do not NEGLECT to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God." (Hebrews 13:16)
ولكن لا تنسوا فِعلَ الخَيرِ والتَّوْزيعَ، لأنَّهُ بذَبائحَ مِثلِ هذِهِ يُسَرُّ اللهُ. (العِبرانيّينَ ١٣:١٦)
