Who can find one who is "genuine"

It is such a blessing to say that the Lord has led me through another wonderful first week of the semester! I have to say I believe it to be the best week I have had in a long time, with the perfect mixture, of friends, work, school, and church. I know that sounds quite funny but its true. This semester is my last, and I have great expectations for myself.
Have you ever heard the words, "Hey how you doing" and the quickly the voice silence off into the distance. Ya that would be just about everyone we run into these days. We are so courteous and so polite to say hello to one another, but are we genuine? That’s my big quest, to be known as someone that was genuine, not for my own pride, but for Christ alone. The Lord wants us to display a genuineness about ourselves that reflects him and him alone. What does it mean to be genuine?

According to WebsterGenuine: Actually possessing the alleged or apparent attribute or character: Free from hypocrisy or dishonesty; sincere.
Wow!! To say that you someone it genuine speaks volumes about there character. Are there any genuine people out there anymore; are there any genuine Christians out there? I would love to hear your response?

To me this is a struggle the Church has always face sense the 14th Century and before. It’s a question of who we are when no one is looking. I would like to say that Bobbi is always Bobbi and there is no difference in the light and the dark, but is it true is something I must really meditate on and learn about myself.

The Lord is the only one who truly knows who we are; after all he is our creator. Each day we must search inside ourselves to be exposed to know things that the Lord has yet to teach us. Do not ever gets so prideful to think that you can know all there is to know, for at that time you must fall face down and let the Lord intervene, for I have bee guilty of this numerous times and I know that pride is the greatest spiritual CURSE!

Bobbi, man would I love to be genuine and be known as genuine. We just hide alot. I hope there is freedom from that. This past year I have come to admire some new people and the main reason was because they were all honest genuine people. Why is we admire those people, but then refuse to be those people? Thanks for your post. Very insightful. Next time I see you, I hope I ask you how you are, and mean it. :)
