How can you hear His call? The word discernment comes from two Latin words: discernere (to perceive) and discretis (to separate). To discern God's voice and will is to chat with Him. When we say, "Lord, Your will be done," we are asking God to infuse His deepest yearnings into our spirit and alter the circumstances of our life in order that we may grow closer to him.As you seek to discern and do God's will, ask the following questions: * Will this course of action use my gifts, talents, and passions?* How has my previous experience prepared me for this task?* Will this new opportunity cause me to be more loving?* Is this an expansion of my influence for God?* Will I feel more fulfilled and have a greater sense of inner peace?* Who will benefit from my actions?* What will it cost me and my family?* Is this a time-sensitive opportunity?The stories in this short book illustrate how others have heard God's call and heeded His voice. My prayer is that you will learn to recognize God's voice so you will be able to both discern and do His will. - Eddie Jones
