Genuine Concern & Sincerity

Yesterday I was trying to take care of something that needed to be done. It was a task that needed my full attention. All of a sudden someone I knew appeared in front of me. I was kind of in a hurry to get my task done, but I needed to take a moment to say a quick hello. Well I guess that's what I thought. The person then began to ask me a few questions. These were everyday common questions, but there was something very different about this person. This person was asking me questions and not only that but they were very sincere. They truly wanted to know my answers because I could tell they truly cared about me. Have you ever noticed how we can stop to talk with people but it's more out of duty rather than out of genuine concern or love for the person. We can be so focused on our tasks or even self that we blow by people as if they weren't even there. This person who talked with me yesterday took a moment to be truly interested in what was going on in my life. It makes me think about how much more I need to do this. Jesus gives me such a great example to follow. He came to earth for one reason--people. He came out of His love for people. He was never too busy to talk to people. He was always genuine, always caring and always sincere. I pray that others would be able to say the same about me and other Christians :)
