Divine Engagement: Seeking Social Media Validation vs. Finding Your True Worth

A man sits at a desk, focused on his smartphone. Above him, the glowing God emits bright light in a moody room with books and a bed. — *"I'm God."*

(Scene: K sits at his desk, staring at his phone. Frustration is written all over his face.)

K: God, I need help. My posts barely get likes. My follower count is stuck. How am I supposed to make it if no one sees my work?

(A warm, glowing light fills the room. A calm VOICE speaks.)

Voice: K. Why do you seek followers and engagement?

K: Who... who're you?

Voice: I'm God.

K: Whoa—God? You’re actually answering me?

God: I always answer, K. But tell me, why do you desire followers?

K: Well… because that’s how you succeed, right? More followers mean more opportunities. More recognition.

God: And what will recognition bring you?

K: Uh… I guess it’ll help me grow my brand. Make a name for myself. Prove I can be someone.

God: And who are you now?

K: I mean… I’m just me.

God: Why do you believe that isn’t enough?

K: I don’t know. It’s just… Everyone else seems so confident, so successful. I want to prove I can be like them.

God: And who are you proving it to?

K: Maybe myself. Or… everyone else?

God: K, what are you truly looking for?

K: Connection, I guess. To feel like I matter. Sometimes, I think if enough people like what I do, it’ll mean I’m worth something.

God: So you’re seeking validation for your worth.

K: Yeah. I guess I am.

God: K, you already have everything you need.

K: What do you mean?

God: K, you are seen, you are loved, and you are enough—just as you are.

K: But… why doesn’t it feel like enough?

God: Because you are lonely, unsure of yourself, and searching for meaning in places that cannot fulfill you. Followers cannot fill the spaces in your heart that long for connection and purpose.

(K leans back in his chair, tears welling up.)

K: So… what do I do?

God: Look within. Build confidence in who you are, not in what others think of you. Use your gifts to serve others, not to seek their approval. And remember, K, you are never alone.

(The light begins to fade. K sits in silence, letting the words sink in.)

K: Thank you.

(K picks up his phone but pauses. Instead of opening it, he sets it down. He looks out the window, a faint smile on his face.)
