“… being sensitive. It shows your heart and keeps you open to Him.”

This was just one of the extra random interactions that God orchestrates. I had been talking with this couple, mostly the woman, while waiting for a plane to start its boarding process and to jump into the next unknown. The couple had just got off of a cruise vacation, were parents of now adult children and also believers. The talk was mostly about travels and of course that brought about the cliff notes story of our life…

There was no expectations on either end, just simple sharing of time with decency and appreciation. The plane called for boarding and it was time for us to part ways. I felt the urge to pray for them and their return back home as there was a cancelled flight the night before and they had also expressed that they would be driving back home late at night. They gladly accepted, in closing the prayer I then hug the woman goodbye sharing appreciation for them and their time. The husband then turns around from his computer and hands me a hundred dollar bill and I say nooo… and look at his wife as tears start pouring down my face. He says, “Just be sure you two have a place to get to when you land.”, and his wife is nodding with a look of love as she let me know that it was okay to accept. More tears are rolling down my face and as I am wiping my face I apologize saying, “Sorry, I cry too easily.”, which the man responded to me with how I should never be sorry for crying and that it is the sensitivity that keeps me connected to Him.

My whole life, well maybe not the entirety but for a whole lot of it and especially in impactful relationships, I was told that I was too sensitive. While I have come to see the super power that is being sensitive, I will also admit that I do still have moments of addressing and healing from these impressions from others. I recently sent a message saying, I did not mean to come across ungrateful in my last text… Thankfully the friend that I had been texting with is also highly sensitive and was able to respond in a way that gave understanding for my own sensitivity with that message and also confirm that I was not at all portrayed that way. Being sensitive is definitely a gift and if it is used against the gifted then it seems the gifted will find regular times when there is second guessing on how they are.

One things that I have found to be the greatest aspects of this gift is the ability to sense the Holy Spirit presence. He sends me confirmation in times of His presence, what He wants me to pay attention to and even in times when I need to be on-gaurd. I truly love how He interacts with me in these ways, even in some times when He lets me know that I need a certain book, what to cook for my child that evening or even which direction to take at times… it is indeed a beautiful way of connecting that would not be available if I was not given the ability to be so sensitive. Due to this and what I continue to see through this world, I wonder if the enemy pits people against the sensitives on purpose to keep them from knowing, connecting with and moving through life with the Holy Spirit. (hmmm…?)

While a lot of times I post questions for readers to ponder for themselves or to interact on, I am going to pose a different ending here. I am pretty sure there is at least one person that is in your awareness that is sensitive. Would you just check in with them? If you are the sensitive then take a pause and tune in to what God’s purpose is with you and this gift. We all have gifts and purpose, draw near to the one that has gifted you and see how it is intended that you are to connect more. You are on purpose and oh so worthy of the life He has for you.
