Judgement and Discernment is not the same

Father both came together. No regrets over ending with Z and no regrets for letting go of local Isha leadership. In my mail to teacher I basically stressed that i have different needs.

The Divided Self
Self  Esteem by E.R. Skoglund
To make a sensible appraisal of oneself is to evaluate oneself according to one's strength as well as weaknesses, one's potential .... as well as one's vulnerabilities .... Self-love involves a comfortableness with one's being, but is not devoid of impetus for growth .... humility is not synonymous with low self esteem..,.it is an absence of occupation with oneself. It implies a good self-image .....

So, the loving order, biblically, is this;
Jesus first,
Ourselves second,
You next.

Interesting.

The Divided Self
Judging a situation or a person and being discerning about them, are two completely different activities. They arise from different origins, operate on different motivations and produce different effects.
Discernment is vital in the battle between good and evil. If we confuse it with judgement we will feel we shouldn't do it.

I have been asked to be discerning in my choices of partners.
