When people change, Do you NOTICE or do you play the NOVICE? Do you notice EARLY or do you notice when it would COST you DEARLY? Time is of essence, time makes all the difference.
Discernment is the ability to SIFT through the sheets, the ability to NOTICE the SHIFT, the ability to SEE physiological HINTS. Changes in tone, facial structure, posture, skin colour, texture and behaviour- Do you notice? Before you believe that reply, notice - the body never LIES!
Thoughts (intent) create EMOTIONS! Emotions are complex chemical reactions leading to behavioural and biological (BODY) changes. Hence, from the body, you can tell the emotion, from the emotion you can DISCERN wrong or right intent.
Cain was very WROTH (high -ve Emotion) and his COUNTENANCE FELL (Body Change). His countenance fell long before Abel fell. The body does not lie, it reveals true intent.
Prov 21:29 - A wicked(with -ve intent) man hardeneth his face (Body change)
Prov 15:13 - A merry(+ve emotion) heart maketh a cheerful countenance (Body change)
There are always HINTS (no matter how subtle). Do you NOTICE or are you a NOVICE?
When you notice, address it early; while it is still a seed without shoot because when it grows, it would require excavators to uproot!

8yHe who thinks he is standing when he is actually nosediving is deceiving himself. Acceptance of your person is the first antidote of negative belief. He who believe he is something whereas he is nothing is deceiving himself. Accept you are nothing if you are nothing, then do not stop there, start doing something to be something. Action changes belief and belief changes action.
