"Suspicion is accompanied by fear and worry while true discernment is accompanied by peace and love."
"We can judge where our wisdom is coming from by what accompanies it. Those who are using the discernment and wisdom of heaven do not have to prove themselves right. They stay true to their convictions without forcing others to agree, because they understand that in the end, truth and goodness will prevail. On the other hand, suspicious people will always pressure you to pass judgement on others, to side with their counsel, while discernement is content to wait."
-Lisa Bevere (from the book Nurture: give and get what you need to flourish)

Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank Him for all He has done. Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anthing we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. -Philippians 4:6-7

But the wisdom from above is first of all pure. It is also peace loving, gentle at times, and willing to yield to others. It is full of mercy and good deeds. It shows no favoritism and is always sincere. And those who are peacemakers will plant seeds of peace and reap a harvest of righteousness. -James 3:17-18

Don't let evil conquer you, but conquer evil by doing good. - Romans 12:21

Personal note: Some of the most miserable times in my life have been those moments or seasons when I have allowed myself to walk in suspicion rather than in true discernment. Sometimes the line between the two becomes blurred by circumstances although often our confusion is caused by our own series of choices. By ignoring or pushing aside the leading of the still, small voice of the Holy Spirit within we move ourselves step by step further down the wrong path and then further complicate matters by chosing to whine and complain when we find ourselves alone and scared in the darkness entangled in the thick, thorny vines. The Spirit of God within us delights in acting as our internal Global Positioning Satelite but it is up to us to follow His peace-filled promptings to the bright, well marked path He knows we are to be on. Your GPS system will not force you to follow the guidance it gives you to reach your destination. Neither, indeed, will the Spirit of the living God. We must choose moment by moment, day by day, season by season to be led by our Peace.
