"See More"

When you spy those two words on a post, you know that you are engaging in a test of your will: will you endure the extra seconds (or, God forbid), minutes that it takes to click and read what extends beyond the preview? Will you care enough about what the person has to say? Will you spend your time reading one friend's elongated diatribe or will you skip it in order to read the multitude of other status reports? After all, Bob's Chapstick is drying and he needs to apply more; Mary's Mom's cat is sick; Willy is goofing off at the mall; and Pam "forgot how to cry." If you "see more" from one friend, you will see so much less of everyone else!

But what could you miss? You could discover that your friend knows what "diatribe" means? Or you could learn that they just like to type or enjoy cat videos. You could also see more about a person you care about or you see more than you care to know about a person. You could also see something grand, something divine, something, well, more.

"In a little while you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me" (John 16.16) Some of us would see a post from Jesus Himself and wonder whether we ought to "see more." He'll always be there and I already know what He's got to say, so why do I need to "see more?" I can't click "see more" on every post or blog I read, but I should ALWAYS click it when it comes to God's word. Will you "see more?"
