I guess I am not as interested in knowing everyone (Though I do know a good number) as much as I want when the day comes and I cry out Lord, Lord that he will know and recognize me.
You are most correct in wanting “I cry out Lord, Lord that he will know and recognize me.”
My reaction is to, during my time in the Army of seeking out a congregation to associate with and discovering that they did NOT welcome strangers into their midst. Imagine, attending a church for several Sundays in a row and not a single person acknowledges your presence. That is where I’m coming from, everyone doesn’t have to know me or I everyone, but to not even be offered the ‘gift of Christian friendship’.....
