Advocate

We all need someone on our side. We need someone to have our back. We need to feel and be supported. We need our community. We need someone to voice our concerns. We need someone to advocate on our behalf. Who is our advocate? Who has our best interest at heart? Christ is our advocate. 

Hebrews 4:15 (KJV) For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin

Discern

It can be hard to read people. Especially, when people present their representative instead of their true selves. Trust your gut. Trust that feeling. Trust your first impression. Discernment doesn't rely on tangible evidence. It's a feeling. It's an unction. It's a personal truth. Some might call it a vibe. Feel their energy. Character is a consistent truth. Pay attention to subtle signals. See the whole picture, not just what is trying to be shown.

 

"The first point of wisdom is to discern that which is false; the second, to know that which is true."-Lactantius
