Journey of Quilting

discernment

there are times when we find ourselves upon unfamiliar ground

it's not unpleasant... just different and foreign to us

we quite possibly have been there before, but for God's reasons alone, He has placed us there

it's a funny thing how others can see us upon it, but we are 'in our own world' just trying to figure out what to do

we might fight it... because it is bigger than us

to truly understand that it is bigger and stronger than we are takes discernment

at that could very well be jumping down back where we are comfortable... but we will never look upon that time in our life the same... that we will grow from it... become acutely aware of whatever it is that the Almighty wants us to be aware of

finding the discernment in what God is speaking to us truly means we need to remove ourselves from this world

it doesn't take a lot of talk

it takes a lot of prayer and understanding

where do we get this understanding? who are we to know what is right and what is wrong?

deep prayer yes... well, maybe... but knowledge is far greater

come to know and understand what is most important in your life

through reading, quiet thoughts and living a virtuous life

we might not always land on our feet through times like these, but we heal and get toughened by it... and that's a good thing... a thing to rejoice in...
