Well I agree with you what you have posted. I have recently changed churches so I am learning regarding this subject. I am no clearer yet from the beginning though empathy vs discernment. But I have found out more and well I am praying to God to let me understand and grow in whichever field He has planned for me. So thanks for all the replies thus far

AGREE TO DISAGREE One thing I have learnt in life is that we as people wont always be in agreement on certain matters, but it is how we deal with the matter that decide the outcome of the situation. Are we going to argue and still get nowhere and just end up being angry at each other? The pastor that married hubby and me almost 9 years ago, gave us wise words to live by. We sometimes forget and cause uneccesary heart-ache, but at times we remember. He said there will be many things that we wont agree upon, especially since hubby is an Englishman and I an Afrikaans person. We both are individual and our own opinions and also our background has a lot to do with how we see things in life. What sometimes may be acceptable for the one, wont be for the other. So there will come a time in each person

I have a question - it might sound really dumb of me - It is just I am so confused by now that I don't know whom to believe anymore. Is there really something like a gift of discernment and do I truly have it. I have been told by people that I posess that gift but are not sure. See the thing is I have been told yes of various reasons. I am able to feel other ppls emotions their trials, pain, hurt etc (not always - just some ppl - not everyone) then I though Ok its maybe because I am over emotional. Then the unforseen happen - this year (the year that I struggled most with my faith) I started feeling what ppl felt just by reading their what they wrote. It was totally weird to me and I thought my mind was playing tricks on me - until one day I met one of these ppl and what I felt was the truth. Then I started to question it to someone and that person claims that I has the aformentioned gift - but its hard to believe that I was given something like it. Some ppl again say that I am just oversensative to ppls emotions because of my past etc. Now the real question is - what must I believe? I am so confused by now about spiritual gifts exist or not - the right and the wrong church etc. AND IF I DO HAVE THIS - WHAT MUST I DO WITH IT - BECAUSE TO BE HONEST - I DONT LIKE IT AT ALL - I HATE THESE FEELINGS I GET Anyone with advice? PLS desparately seeking some answers. Estelle
