“Discernment begins where assumptions end.”
We often believe we understand something simply because we have an explanation for it.
But an explanation is not necessarily the truth.
True discernment begins when we dare to question our assumptions, look beyond appearances, and acknowledge that there may be more to a situation than we initially believed.
Faith does not require us to abandon our ability to think critically. On the contrary, wisdom invites us to examine, understand, and seek the truth with humility.
Because sometimes, the most important discovery begins with a simple question: What if I am wrong?
