To all members,

Perhaps this message will simply bring some awareness for how some things read under a member's profile, which could be potentially harmful....I hope it helps others within this site.

I received a message from another member asking me about a group they believed I created but didn't. How they came to that conclusion, is under my profile it reads, " User-Created Chat Groups:" I thought the exact same thing when I initially viewed my own profile. It appears that any groups we join as members that we are also the creator of the group.

I am grateful to the member for coming forward and sharing his question of concern about something written in the group, because I do not want someone else's thoughts to be a reflection on me. Expressly when I want to captivate every thought unto Christ!

I love how the Holy Spirit is in every circumstance...You really are our all in all Lord! What's interesting about this seemingly minor incident, is that for some it could have been a major one. What the Lord revealed to me, is how dangerously and quickly we can "all" presume things that are simply not true and how this can hurt the entire body of Christ.

I give thanks to the Lord for shining His light and using the member to bring this to my attention. Bless you!
Psa 19:12 Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.
Psa 19:13 Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.
Psa 19:14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.

Humbly reminded

So having said all that, I forgot to at least speak my suggestion :). The suggestion would be to separate the groups "we create" from the groups "we join." This I believe will give clarity to the reader who is gleaning an individual profile to know who is who in the spirit.

Thanks and blessings,

Just another thought the Holy Spirit is prompting me to write. If not for the member who obediently emailed me a private message, false presumptions would carry on in the secrets of many hearts and minds. I'm so grateful to the Lord for His works...it's the small things on earth that are the big THINGS in Heaven!

Glory to You Father for moving Your servant,

They are separated...look closer!

If you look closely you will see the main title (which is bolded) says 'GROUP MEMBERSHIPS' and then under that it says 'USER CREATED CHAT GROUPS'.

This just indicates that those groups listed below the main bolded title are groups (created by CC users) that you are a member of. I don't think it could be much clearer.

And if someone actually goes and views a group.. it is easy to see who actually created it. So I am sorry this confusion hapened to you, but the person who sent you the message should have been able to easily distinguish who started the group if they went to the group (and it sounds like they did because they were reporting a message).

Hope that helps
