Interesting meme which brings the question of doscernment and truth.

Ponder discernment which leads to truth.

Discernment comes not from our reasoning powers, nor from our intellectual ability, but from the Spirit.

WEBSTER: discernment: the quality of being able to grasp and comprehend what is obscure. In its simplest definition, discernment is nothing more than the ability to decide between truth and error, right and wrong.

Discernment isn’t about confirming something you hope or want to be true. And it’s not about making you feel better about what you already believe.

Discernment requires honest truth-seeking. You have to want to know the truth, even if it means letting go of a belief you’ve had for a long time.

Each of us need to remain Truth seekers that is what FR is about. :)
