Quote Series #1: Sensitivity

Gonna take a few blogs to talk about some random pieces of advice I've been giving people that have made me stop in my tracks and say "wow, that was good Kylie! I'm not quite sure how you even came up with that with how weird you are and your lack of common sense!"
SO.. it may or may not be worth sharing, but I hope you enjoy.

First quote for our quote series:

"Being sensitive is not a weakness. It is a gift."


I'm the type of person who takes things waaaay too personally. I see every sarcastic remark as a personal slam right through my heart. Maybe you're like that too? (And I'm being kinda extreme in some ways.. just being dramatic for writing purposes)

But notice how I didn't give positive light to my personality. Do you find yourself looking at what you don't have rather than what traits God gave you for a reason?

Don't see your sensitivity as a weakness or disability.. but rather- a stepping stone and a gift.

Look at sensitivity this way: Yes, you shouldn't be hurt so easily, but the point of what I'm saying is that sensitivity is viewed in the WORLD as WEAKNESS. But want another word for sensitive? COMPASSION. Not only does a sensitive heart FEEL FOR someone else, themselves, etc. but that kind of feeling can compel someone to have PASSION for a cause.
I'd rather be MOVED WITH COMPASSION like Jesus was, rather than feel nothing at all.

We shouldn't go to extremes with our feelings, but to have sensitivity isn't a bad thing at all.
It's no good to have a hard, cold heart. I'd rather have a heart of flesh- a soft heart that is burdened for the things of God.

So if you've got that sensitive heart, pray that you'll use it and view it in the right way now... look up scriptures about how your heart should be!
If you desire a heart like that, ask for it. God can take your heart of stone and make it one that is filled with everything He is.

I'd go into detail about parts of this, but I just wanted to give you an overview of how to see yourself and your attributes as something GOOD rather than a weakness.

Love you guys!
