But wait… there IS more

In the hustle and bustle of life, much gets overlooked. We dress to impress, seek to sway opinion or gain favor for acceptance or promotion. Our culture lays a whole lot of stock on first impressions and the fleeting opinions of man. 

What if there’s more? What if life isn’t about personal appearance or advancement? What if we are interconnected and our interactions stand to initiate growth in one another – simultaneously?

It’s easy to judge externals and momentary meetings and weigh them as if they are the whole of a person or event. There isn’t always time to go deeper but it’s vital to be aware of this tendency and be willing to acknowledge or possibly learn a bit of backstory. It may mean putting aside a temporal agenda to unearth something far greater. 

Institute pauses in your day to look up, look out, and look in. Appreciate “there’s more” than your eye can see. 

1 Samuel 16:7 NKJV 

But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I have refused him. For the LORD does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.”
