The word discernment comes from two Latin words: discernere (to perceive) and discretis (to separate).

To discern God's voice and will is to engage in an intimate conversation with the Creator of all things. God sees beyond our past and knows our secret desires, even those desires we do not yet know exist. In My Father's Business, you will see how others responded to the yearning God placed within their heart and enjoyed their Father's blessing. As you read these short stories, ask:

Will my current course of action use my gifts, talents, and passions?How has my previous experience prepared me for the task ahead?Will this new opportunity cause me to be more loving, kind, and compassionate?Will I be forced to trust God more?Is this an expansion of my influence for God?Who benefits from my actions more than me?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. Our prayer is that you will learn to recognize the whisper of Jesus and both discern and do His Father's will.
