Discernment encompasses an innate ability to accurately comprehend and be guided with God's direction to achieve His ultimate goal and purpose. In spirituality, being able to discern is essential for your journey with God or a higher being. When discerning, it's important to exercise wisdom, and knowing the voice of God while decreasing your emotional attachment to the total process and the outcome. In the motivational book, A Yearn To Discern: Finding Purpose And Fulfillment Through Discernment by Rhonda Maco, the reader will discover the elements that they can use to be more effective in discerning. The author provides so much to assist the reader - from unpacking the origin and meaning of the word discernment, including the spiritual context, and providing times of reflection by asking questions that allow the reader to journal their thoughts, to examples of how to use discernment in everyday life. Within the discernment journey, the outcome may not be as we wish but it's designed for our future and God's purpose for our lives.
I loved how Rhonda Maco was able to explain the various elements of discernment and the power that it holds in each of our lives. Discernment can be scary because in order to execute it properly you must garner clarity while taking steps, at times, in uncharted waters. You may not know all of the steps involved and can judge yourself harshly, but if used properly, you can end up in an ideal situation or circumstance even if the outcome appears foreign to you. As the author states: "Once you fully understand what it means and then learn how to discern properly and consistently, you will further develop this critical skill and put it to use on a daily basis because it always works in your favor." This book is a must for your spiritual walk. Always remember that everything is by God's design.
