Discernment: A Lesson from the Ashes of Divorce

Dear friends, today I’d like to share a personal story with you. It’s a tale of love, loss, and most importantly, the wisdom that comes from discernment. It’s a story that takes place in the heart-wrenching throes of divorce, but don’t worry, it’s not all doom and gloom. There’s a silver lining, a lesson to be learned, and I hope it serves you well.

The Love That Was

Many moons ago, I was married to a wonderful woman. We were young, full of dreams, and ready to conquer the world together. But as the years rolled by, we grew apart. Our dreams diverged, our paths separated, and we found ourselves at a crossroads. The decision was made, albeit painfully, to part ways.

The Pain of Parting

Divorce, my friends, is a beast of burden no one should bear alone. It’s a tumultuous storm that leaves destruction in its wake. But amidst the wreckage, I found something unexpected – discernment.

Discovering Discernment

Discernment, in its simplest form, is the ability to judge well. To understand the difference between what’s right and what’s wrong. To see beyond the surface and understand the underlying truth. In the aftermath of my divorce, I was forced to confront my choices, my actions, and my mistakes. I had to discern where I had gone wrong and how I could learn from it.

The Lesson Learned

Through the painful process of self-reflection, I learned that discernment is not just about making good decisions. It’s about understanding the consequences of our actions, learning from our mistakes, and making better choices in the future. It’s about recognizing the difference between what we want and what we need. It’s about understanding that not all that glitters is gold, and not all that is lost is gone.

Sharing the Wisdom

So, my dear friends, as you navigate the turbulent waters of life, remember this lesson. Embrace discernment. Learn from your past, make better decisions in the present, and build a brighter future. And remember, no matter how dark the night, the dawn always follows.

Until next time, keep learning, keep growing, and keep sharing the wisdom.

Yours in wisdom,
