How many people really know you?

       Do you ever think about how well you really know people? Do you really know the people that you do life with everyday, the people that you're constantly around, the ones that you walk with and work with. Do you know the people you live with and learn with? 

Do you know them and do they know you?

       We live amongst a generation where it is extremely easy to be around friends, family, and everybody else without truly knowing them as people. There is a serious decrease in face-to-face conversation. I am part of technological age that lacks manners, selfless thinking, and genuine human interaction. Right now, more than ever before, we're all doing the same thing at the same time without really knowing the people we're doing it with. 

       I have deemed this question to be the unanswerable attempt. When I asked people how many people really knew them, they simply thought. Every one of them thought differently and cautiously. No one wants to say that nobody knows them, but at the same time, everybody is stunned by the reality of the situation when they think about it. We are just not very good at knowing people or being known sometimes.  

       I have talked to a lot of people and listened to many hearts. But still, I can confidently say that over the course of my life a very small group of people have really known me. The Lord will forever be the only Being to ever know my heart and know me better than I do, but then there are still some people who actually get what you I am all about. To put it like my mother did, they are the ones that "know me and understand." So if you have those kind of people in your life then speak nothing but gratitude and praise. I am learning more and more just how rare it is to find them. 

Be someone that takes the time to know people and allows the time to be known.
