Discernment is a valuable commodity. It gives you the ability to see people clearly and to evaluate complex situations from God's perspective. When I see people from God's perspective, it helps me to love them in a wise manner. In friendships, discernment helps me see the best way to help people. That's why in Philippians 1:9-11 Paul prayed that our love would abound in real knowledge and all discernment. It's not enough to love people, we have to love them with a discerning love.
Try thinking about the people in your life. What are the greatest needs they have? Think about that question from God's perspective. From God's view, what are their greatest needs? As you start seeing their true needs more clearly, you will begin to see how can God use you to help them find the answers to the things they need.
