Discernment is about listening not seeing.  Listening to the heart of God, the voice of God, the Divine direction of the Lord.  Do not let me speak in Your Holy Presence Father, but listen.  One whispered word from Your Lips is worth all the weight my entire life of speech may bring.  I have spoken for You without hearing, answered for You without consulting, told of You without inquiring.  Redeemed but not set free of the poisonous prison I’ve constructed out of yearning to be acceptable to a dying world.  Please don’t let it be about me, for that would be Unfulfilling to a world that craves release from emptiness.  None of us have what it takes to complete ourselves or anyone else, we can only be made whole in Jesus Christ.  Wisdom is not folly well spoken, but the Lord’s bidding well delivered.

In agony I hear your words, Brother’s and see the mystery revealed.  We share in our frailty, for it matters not one golden word, soaked in honey delivered with angelic pretense.  All that I possess worth anything, God created.  I am a stick figure without His brush stroke, a garbled sentence without His penmanship, a leaky vessel without His shaping hand.  I am made to carry The Living Water.  Nothing I have made is worthy of salvation.  The crafts of my hands, the thoughts of my mind and the words of my throat are folly unless Blessed by His Will.  Do not look to me and say there goes a good man who knows the path for I see only one light in this perpetual darkness and His name is the Lord, Jesus Christ, the Messiah of the Almighty God, The Bringer of Light, Truth and Judgment, the Giver of Spirit, the Redeemer of the World, The Word.  Amen.
