It's hard to give a standard answer here because God's been building my trust and my personal relationship with Him for years now - so that sometimes I just "know that I know that I know" an idea is from Him. But good pointers would be feelings of joy & peace & hope that He gives you... praying about it. God will sometimes confirm it with a verse of scripture or an email or something. I don't think my partner recognised the idea immediately as God's guidance but because I've been learning trust and prayed for an answer.. I could recognise it faster. But you know, if you've prayed and your still not sure but the pros outweigh the cons..go ahead and just keep praying about the matter!Karinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06288368402342923576noreply@blogger.com
