Affirmation:
I know that discernment is a theological virtue that we all have and can choose to use. I seek to develop greater Christ-centered Spirit-based discernment and insight. I think about and act confidently on that which I know intuitively is right. Through Christ-centered spiritual discernment I can know and be the unique person God wants me to be. Through discernment and spiritual insight, I can set personal boundaries about what is right for me. I can discern in the invisible presence of the universal Christ in the spiritual core of every person [Ephesians 4:1-7].
