TODAY’S PASSAGE
From “Voice Of Jesus 2” by Michael Canfield:
Emily needed time to adjust. She was raised Christian and believed communication through a Ouija board could be dangerous or evil.
REFLECTION
Emily’s hesitation speaks to something deeply human: the tension between what we’ve been taught and what we’re being called to explore. Many of us carry beliefs handed down through generations—some rooted in wisdom, others in fear. Emily’s Christian upbringing taught her to be cautious, to protect herself from spiritual danger. That instinct isn’t wrong; it’s actually beautiful. It shows she takes her faith seriously. But what happens when our inherited fears prevent us from encountering something genuine? What if the very boundaries meant to protect us also keep us from experiencing a deeper truth?
This moment in Emily’s journey reminds us that spiritual growth often requires us to pause, to sit with our discomfort, and to discern what is truly speaking to our hearts. She doesn’t rush past her concerns or pretend they don’t exist. She gives herself permission to adjust, to question, to feel uncertain. That’s not weakness—that’s wisdom. Real faith isn’t about blind acceptance; it’s about courageously examining what we believe and why we believe it. Sometimes the most faithful thing we can do is admit we’re scared and ask for clarity anyway.
Love doesn’t demand that we abandon discernment, but it does invite us to move beyond fear-based thinking. Emily’s story challenges us to ask: Are my beliefs drawing me closer to love, or are they keeping me trapped in fear? Jesus himself constantly pushed against religious boundaries that prioritized rules over relationship, fear over freedom. When we encounter something unfamiliar, we can choose to retreat into what’s comfortable, or we can take time—like Emily—to adjust, to listen, and to trust that love will guide us toward truth.
THIS SPEAKS TO ME BECAUSE…
How often do we let fear disguised as faith keep us from deeper understanding? Today, consider one belief you’ve never questioned—not to abandon it, but to examine whether it’s rooted in love or fear. What might you discover if you gave yourself permission to adjust?
