Sensitivity Is Not a Weakness — It’s a Spiritual Strength
Have you ever been told you’re “too sensitive”? I’ve heard that phrase all my life, and for years, I believed it was a weakness. But when I came back to Christ, He revealed the opposite: my sensitivity wasn’t a disability, it was a divine ability.
Sadly, we live in a culture that celebrates hardness of heart. Compassion is dismissed. Apathy is excused. However, Scripture warns us not to let our love grow cold (Matthew 24:12). When we stop feeling, we stop caring, and when we stop caring, we stop loving.
This past week, I’ve seen how quickly people can celebrate darkness instead of mourning with compassion. It grieves me deeply. We must not forget that God calls us higher: to pray for our enemies, to forgive even when it hurts, and to keep our hearts soft in a world that hardens.
So here’s my encouragement to you today: don’t despise your sensitivity. Surrender it to Christ. Your ability to feel deeply is also your ability to love deeply, and that is never a weakness; that is spiritual strength.
