Amen , Brother Ban. Good words.

Over the years as I reflect sensitivity has gotten me into and out of a lot of situations , good and bad We all have different personalities and God made us that way. Sensitivity in my estimation brings us closer to God cause we can and will be more like Jesus , more loving , more giving . I think of my own sensitivity and thank God for what He has given me .

Yes, there were times in my life when I was oversensitive thinking that that would gain me more love from the other person but realize now , that was my thinking not God's . I wanted to please people but now realize that is not what I am here for. I am here to please my God and He comes first and all the rest will fall into place.

Through all of lifes lessons we learn. We learn through the school of hard knocks. Because I was a people pleaser.... I became a door mat . I now know that God wants me to be the head and not the tail.
