Sometimes I wonder how fine the line is between "judging" someone (Matthew 7:1-5) and discerning about a person's character. Well, according to the dictionary, they are synonyms, except that discernment is making a good & wise judgement.
I believe God gave us the power to discern as part of being wise and also to protect ourselves. Towards people, there is intuition? However, do our biases get in the way?
I don't want to be someone who is "judging" or biased; I try to be as objective as possible, but sometimes it's scary if you "see through" people, especially if it's proven right.
