I came from my father in the beginning. I was born in the USA. I am married with 4 children. I am retired. I choose my words carefully and aim to not dox myself. I am fluent in 10 languages and have been to 40 states in the U.S. and 200 countries worldwide. I am here to learn, love, give guidance, and lurk.
Guidance can generally only be given to those whom are modest enough to ask genuine questions. If you are not asked a question then you are just handing out advice which people aren’t usually looking for advice. Guidance is given by authority. God has promised to give guidance to all that show efforts in their path to salvation. In summary, you can only give guidance to those who are looking for guidance. You will know they are looking for guidance because they will ask you questions and those questions will appear to be genuine requests for knowledge. Therefore it is a waste of time to try and guide people who are not genuine in their search for knowledge. Advice is just sharing your experience with others. Gaining authority over something is acquired when you have not only experienced it, but have also studied it with all your efforts to learn every why and wherefore of a particular subject. When you feel confident enough, after your studies, that you can answer any question a person seeking guidance might have to ask you, then you are an authority. I hope this has helped your understanding of guidance.
