It says that the Word of God
"is a discerner of the thoughts  and intents of the heart"
Hebrews 4:12
also another from Bible Tools
I was actually just searching for a clear definition of DISCERNER ...
when I stumbled upon the above 
since "discerning" is something I have not been to good about throughout my life,
most certainly, in matters of the heart but it literally means "hearing or listening"
and I hope that I have done that at least from my heart of compassion.
I guess "discernment of spirits" was more of the problem for me.
"5 Helpful Tips for making a good discernment" (😕me, ???){at least the first 3 given were good points for me}
The 3rd was "pay attention to what's going on in your heart" which is needed to weigh the
"pros and cons" - that's good advice!
It's important for us to have a discerning heart "to help discover & understand what
God desires for us.
Now, I'm trying to figure out which Parable this might be ... 
but looking at the Bible Scripture will help me a lot. 
For this week, they are:

Matthew 13:24-30; 2 Corinthians 11;12-15; Galatians 1;6-9; 1 John 2;3-11; 1 John 2;18-23

but the key one is in Matthew

And the weekly devotion starts out with the familiar story to most of us on the Stradivari violin; so these are the 5 segments of this chapter beginning with the "Treasure from Trash" aboutStradivari

... (given above) "Only God can Tell Sinners from Saints" "Appearance of Righteousness" "Only God Can Take Sinners from Saints" "When the Reaper Reaps"

"... Turning a sinner into a saint is something only God can do"
Let's Pray:

"Lord, I confess that it is not my job to judge between weeds and wheat (please keep reminding me gently when I do); it is Yours! I long to be fruitful for Your Kingdom."
