Discernment is like driving at night
“Because the evidence and experiences on which we act are usually conflicting and ambivalent, and because we are by nature vulnerable to our capacity for self-deception, discernment is often tentative and uncertain. We may not feel a great sense of having found the truth.
Discernment can be like driving an automobile at night: the headlights cast only enough light for us to see the next small bit of road immediately in front of us. Ultimately, discernment requires our willingness to act in faith on our sense of what God wants us to do.”
— Suzanne G. Farnham, 1991
