I agree! I think so much of learning to trust ourselves comes from making mistakes. Actually, if we trusted ourselves without the experience of mistakes and regrets, we would just be arrogant. And you’re right, the Holy Spirit plays a major role in so many situations!

Working in a church over the years you typically have people come by in need of assistance. Early on, I generally fell for every sob story that came through. One day this guy came by, tears & all. He laid out this story that seemed so fantastic that it was plausible. I remember weighing what he said & there were little queues that I didn’t trust. Later I went to assist by paying his motel bill. The owner of the motel stopped me before I paid & said “You know he’s scamming you right? He works his way all over town to all the churches to get another free night.” After that I started to learn to listen to my “gut” & approach those situations with more caution & attention. It has really served me well in counseling students in spiritual need. The Holy Spirit seems to be very gracious in intervening in my weaknesses, when I’m willing to listen. It has help keep me from perpetuating sinful behaviors & really getting to the heart of what is going on in someone’s life.
