Will I be punished for accidentally typing small 'g' for God in FB post.

[AlexB23]

I have some visual impairment so, I cannot see when typing on my cell phone. I talk into the phone.
My friend posted an encouraging update about "God turning good from bad". I replied with a comment about the story of Joseph(which I love)
When Joseph said, "“As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good ". i hadn't noticed that it came out as little "g" instead of "G.
I usually try to correct it and make sure I don't make this error, but I made the comment early in the morning.
A lady replied with the reminder "God". Then my friend told me,"I say this in the nicest possible way but you can't spell God with a little 'g'
I know that. I was quite upset as it was publicly made known. I shared with the lady how I was talking into the phone and I didn't do it intentially.
I sent a PM to my friend to remind her again of my visual impairment, etc. She ignored my message.
So I decided to remove my comment, I felt sad and ashamed. I know they were both upset with me.

Then I had a really bad day. Everything went wrong for me. Is God punishing me?

I somehow feel as though I must have committed a very bad sin.
God knows my heart. I didn't mean to do it.

What do you think about this?


Is God angry with me?

God will not get mad at you for using lowercase G in his name. He knows your heart, and intentions as you said in your post here. We all make mistakes. Don't fret, as over worrying about things isn't the best to maintain a healthy relationship with God. We are not meant to live in angst around God, but in joy. Maybe, set your device to autocorrect the singular name "God", but keep the plural lowercase, unless you are a historian or history teacher that has to use the phrase "Greek god" a lot for your job, then don't set autocorrect to do that, as a Greek god must remain lowercase, unless you accidentally slip on the caps or shift button for some reason.

I think you gave a very good scripture, about Joseph. You were honoring God, with that.

I would put that back in, just make sure you spell "God" right. And maybe when you see an error later, you can edit it. Or - - - delete it and rewrite it corrected.

Now that you know you might make that spelling mistake - - - whenever you are writing "God", right then double-check it before you write more.

And in case people falsely accuse you . . . bless them, like Jesus says to do. And possibly you need to connect with Christians who know how to love you and who help you to grow in Jesus. But still be able to share with ones who don't know how to love, so you can give them your good example; but I would not trust wrong people or let them have power to hurt you. With Jesus, we can stay strong and creative!

"And who is he who will harm you if you become followers of what is good?" (1 Peter 3:13)

And if bad things come your way . . . didn't you just share about Joseph and how God turned bad things out for his good? So, trust God to work your problems for His good.

"casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you." (1 Peter 5:7)

from what I see and read, all the people here understand and does not mind the simple mistake, and as far as I know, God is more loving and forgiving than people,
I'm pretty sure you're OK

When God sees you, Hannah, He sees you lovingly as a daughter, that He wants to love, not punish

I'm sorry to hear that. How does it affect you?

all for His glory, and Hannah, if I could encourage you to spend more time with His words, the Bible, and also with Him, in prayers and quietness,
it's one thing to hear how God loves you from someone else, it's another when you hear it directly from Him.

I pray that you will fall deeper and deeper in love with God as you spend more time with Him.
