Inside Verse:
Discern by listening
for the gentle whisper
of divine wisdom
amidst the clamor
of competing demands.
(Principle of 1 Kings 19:12)

Discernment invites us to see
beneath appearances,
to hold contradictions without haste,
and to wait until clarity emerges
like dawn after the longest night.

Inside Verse:
Life asks us to see beyond either-or.
Discernment opens the eyes of our heart,
not by choosing one truth over another,
rather, welcoming both and resting
in the beauty of balance.

Inside Verse:
Discernment is the art of listening,
not only to the voices around us,
but to the deeper current within.
It is the gentle practice of noticing
what aligns with our truest self
or what draws us away.

Inside Verse:
Discernment is God’s gift of sight
beneath the surface,
a patience that holds questions
until internal light
breaks through like the dawn,
after night’s long vigil.
