Genuine truly what something is said to be; authentic:

The word Genuine is in the Bible in 34 instances. 

Do you think you are a genuine soul? What does it take to be a genuine soul? Can you be taught to be a genuine soul? Do you hide behind that mask you wear? Do you struggle to keep your persona under wraps? Is there something deeper that you hide from others?

These questions made me do some soul searching of my own. I would like to think I am a genuine soul.  I hope I live by that "what you see is what you get motto."  But even that can be tricky.  What if you are genuine but are not a kind person? You are the only one that thinks you are kind? But you have caused others pain? 

Some people are truly good at hiding who they truly are.  And can give you a good solid portrayal of who they want you to see.  But ultimately who are they fooling? God sees us in our true raw genuine self. There is no hiding!  

So how do we achieve this status of genuine? I do believe the key is freedom. It’s growing to know who you truly are. What are your dreams? Desires? Your fears! Your strengths and the list goes on. I do believe we must know ourselves intimately before we can reflect our true genuine self! 

So I do believe the question becomes how can we learn to appreciate and move towards being the best genuine soul we can be? I know a great teacher! He can hold our hand as He walks us through the most amazing self-discovery you will ever experience! He is such a beautiful example of genuine. He has shared with me His genuine heart. His genuine love and His genuine kindness. We can try to imitate Him but we will fall miserably short. Because He is perfect. 

It’s Him  it’s always Him 

And we are all a work in progress! 

The Life-Light was the real thing: John 1:9 MSG

Then all the nations of the earth will recognize that the Lord is the only genuine God. 1 Kings 8:60

There it was—the true Light [the genuine, perfect, steadfast Light] which, coming into the world, enlightens everyone. John 1:9
