"In this 'cancel culture' we live in, I am SO grateful God NEVER canceled me, And I’m sure he could’ve many-a-times!" she wrote.

"Let us always TRY to remember NOT to judge others. We HONESTLY don’t have the space nor authority too! Let us remember to lead with love & kindness, the world is has enough negativity, for you to pour more into it!" she concluded, followed by #STOPTRYINTOBEGOD.

In the caption of the post, Rowland invited her over 10 million followers to join in on the conversation, adding, "So what light are you bringing into the world? Please share it with me in the comments below."
