Discernment Quote by June Hunt
““It is amazing how little we know about ourselves. God has o take us through all kinds of failures to reveal the self-focused pride that lies dormant in the corners or our character. The only way we can be of any use to God is to respond with discernment to our disappointments. Discernment leads us to truth- and the truth punctures our pride, all for His purpose of molding us to the image of His Son.””
