If you know me, you know that I am sensitive.
I show my emotions on my face and typically wear them on my sleeve.
I am a thinker. I think through a situation and predict an outcome to avoid possible conflict or incidents.
I am aware-of the people and things around me.
Something that affects me deeply may not bother or even phase you.
This doesn’t eliminate the validation of my feelings.
Something happens-something small or something big-and I let it dwell in my mind. I try to analyze it and validate my feelings.
The thing is-I don’t need to validate my feelings. They are valid-they are real. I don’t need to let them fester in my mind either. I need to work through them-feel them fully.
My feelings are valid. Your feelings are valid. Don’t let others reactions convince you your feelings are not valid.
I am sensitive.
The Lord made me sensitive.
And that is beautiful.
I feel deeply. I hurt deeply. I love deeply.
It is beautiful.
Jesus meets me here and walks me through it.
Jesus loves this about me. He made me sensitive. He wants me to feel things fully and run to Him when times are hard.
Here’s to a year of navigating my sensitivity and using it to glorify with the Lord-not letting it tear me apart and run from emotions BUT to use it to shine His light in me & love others well.
