Indeed, I am a relational person and desire to know people beyond common knowledge. It's about getting to the heart and showing how much you care for and about them as a brother or sister in Christ.
It would be an equal blessing your efforts were reciprocated by the other person. Granted, the busyness of life and this mentality of getting things done in "your bubble" or circle of influence is what matters first and foremost.
But regardless, that only goes so far...
...for a friendship cannot be called a "friendship" unless it's mutual.
