12-28-2022 – A Word to the Wise – MOTHER ON SENSITIVITY
Do you ever wonder why the small thoughtless things people do hurt you so much? Do you find yourself telling yourself to stop being so childish, that you should have the maturity to overlook these short comings in others? If you have these things then you have another symptom many Christians just like you suffer from, that of sensitivity.
We strive to cultivate it on the one hand and then wonder what to do because of it on the other.
It is the emotional eye that causes us to feel and see the needs of others. It is valuable to Christians; it is one of the elements that helps us to love our neighbor as ourselves. We comprehend feelings in others more deeply ourselves.
But there is a balance a safeguard for us that keeps us from being torn and destroyed by the virtue and that is understanding. If we do not allow our sensitivity to increase beyond our understanding it will be a blessing in living, and never a tumbling block. So do not try to gain a tougher skin or harden your heart for protection, but rather strive to increase your tolerance and understanding to meet these unkindness’s.
