“In relationships, discernment is not about judging or changing the other person; it’s about understanding and accepting them as they are. It’s recognizing that everyone, including ourselves, comes with a mix of strengths and weaknesses. Love, in its truest form, embraces all these aspects. As we see in the story of the sinful woman and Simon the Pharisee (Luke 7:39-43), Jesus demonstrates discernment without judgment. He acknowledges the woman’s past but sees her potential for love and forgiveness. This story teaches us the essence of relationships: to love without expecting others to be perfect or fit into our ideal image. Such love requires courage and faith, but it’s the key to meaningful and lasting relationships.”
