Harnessing Your Spiritual Gift of Discernment

 Happy Birthday 12/5  

Proverbs 12:5  
The plans that good people make are fair. But the advice of the wicked is deceitful.

Your gift of discernment serves you well as a protective force field in your service to God.

You can practice compassion and fairness when dealing with those who have learned unhealthy defense strategies.

You are able to successfully participate in ministry outreach programs where a less discerning person might fall victim to scammers and schemers.

You do not reject those who have not yet learned to be trustworthy. 

You accept and love them while also utilizing your spiritual gift of discernment to determine where the boundary lines must go.  In this way, you can set limits for people who have none. 

Jesus ministered to everyone, even the deceivers and tax collectors, yet He did not trust them all. He was able to successfully minister to them because He had the spiritual gift of discernment.

You also have this gift. You are compassionate and fair while also remaining discerning and cautious. You have a supernatural ability to identify good and bad intentions.

Sometimes you feel the need to tap the brakes on certain relationships and  associations. You may have even thought this ability was a flaw in your personality.  However, as you learn more about your calling, you have come to realize that this attribute is a Godly trait which will serve you well in fulfilling your destiny.
