Discernment is not a matter of telling the difference between right and wrong; rather it is telling the difference between right and almost right.

I believe that the happiest of all Christians and the truest of Christians are those who never dare to doubt God, but take His Word simply as it stands, and believe it, and ask no questions, just feeling assured that if God has said it, it will be so.
