The Grace of Discernment | The Truth Detox Series Pt 4

Installment 4 of 4 | The Truth Detox Series

You’ve made it to the final letter in The Truth Detox. After honesty, transparency, and clarity comes the skill that keeps your freedom intact, discernment.


Discernment is God’s way of whispering, “Not this one.”

It’s the quiet knowing that doesn’t need proof to feel the truth.


Discernment doesn’t make you judgmental. It makes you responsible. It’s the spiritual filter that keeps your peace from leaking and your purpose from being hijacked. It’s not suspicion. It’s stewardship.


When your soul is clean from pretending, your spirit becomes sharper. You start recognizing familiar spirits in unfamiliar faces. You start feeling when a room isn’t safe, even when everyone’s smiling. That’s not paranoia, that’s protection.


Discernment keeps you from resuscitating what God already called time of death on. It helps you stop mistaking access for assignment. It teaches you to let people go quietly, not bitterly.


That’s what growth sounds like: silence over spectacle.


At its root, discernment is mercy.

It gives you the grace to walk away without explanation and the wisdom to stay when God says stay.


Truth. Transparency. Clarity. Discernment.

Four steps in one sacred detox.


And if you’ve read them all, you’re not just reading blogs, you’re doing soul work.

Freedom grows when it’s guarded. Pass this to someone who’s learning that peace is proof of God’s presence.
