Korie Robertson Shocked by Hateful Social Media Comments
By Tess Farrand, Associate Content Editor
Korie Robertson called the hate she sees on social media “shocking” and offered a few tips to practice kindness instead.
“The hate I see on social media always shocks me, I guess it shouldn’t anymore, but it does, and I hope I never get used to it,” said the DUCK DYNASTY alumna. “Can we disagree without being ugly?” Robertson rightfully asked.
Robertson, who has almost 2 million Instagram followers offered three practical tips for social media users to check their attitudes.
According to her post Robertson’s tips are:
1. Broaden our circle.
2. Make it a practice to say something positive first.
3. Ask for God’s help.
Robertson shared how the National Prayer Breakfast encouraged her to think deeply about hate versus love:
Willie and I were just in D.C for the National Prayer Breakfast and the speaker’s message was perfect and timely and straight from the mouth of Jesus, “Love your enemies” @arthurcbrooks reminded us that Jesus didn’t just call us to tolerate or to be civil to those we disagree with (even that would be nice in our world right now) but Jesus called us to something far greater. He called us to LOVE! ⠀
Celebrity comments from Robertson’s post blew up.
“Words to live by!❤️” said real-life BLIND SIDE star Leigh Anne Tuohy
Candace Cameron Bure said, “Amen,” and Elizabeth Hasselback said, “ 🙌So so good and loving 💙”
Robertson’s tips fall right in line with biblical wisdom.
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.” – Galatians 5:22-23 (KJV)
