The word discernment comes from a Latin word meaning “to sift apart.” When we discern, we “sift apart” different possibilities in the hopes of finding the one that is most life-giving. When Christians discern, we keep our hearts open to the voice of God, since God alone knows the secrets of our hearts, and He alone can call us on to live in His kingdom. God only wants what is best for us. God’s will leads us to fulfillment and total joy. Where do you feel called by God?
