Reflection: Discernment or Judgement?

"Love increases with knowledge. The more we know, the better we can discern and approve what is excellent. At its root, the word translated “excellent” in the verse above doesn’t imply that one thing is better than another, but that it is separate or different. It reminds me of the Sesame Street song that asks children to identify one item in a group that doesn’t belong with the others. That simple song was teaching children to discern."
