Highly sensitive people have to cope with overwhelm and exhaustion on a regular basis. Most HSP consider their sensitivity to be a burden. But there\u2019s a flip side to every coin. I believe highly sensitive people are actually God\u2019s gift to the world. Let\u2019s look at a few reasons why: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Empathy:<\/strong> Highly sensitive people are able to understand people and share in their feelings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn.<\/em> Romans 12:15<\/p>\n\n\n\n Empathy lies at the heart of Christianity. The ability to feel other\u2019s emotions and share in their burdens is deeply Christlike. HSP are great listeners and make others feel comfortable, understood, and safe in their presence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Reading people:<\/strong> Since HSP take in more information than other people they notice subtle changes in body language and voice tones. Noticing how others are feeling they often see <\/em>what\u2019s going on in other people\u2019s heart\u2019s and mind\u2019s. They see behind the facades and recognize what moves people and what\u2019s actually going on inside of them. With this knowledge, HSP can address deeply held hurt as well as tensions in relationships to help them resolve their problems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Creativity: <\/strong>Look at nature. How beautifully and carefully God created each and everything. How much attention to detail he put into his creation! The act of creating something is in itself godly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.<\/em> Genesis 1:1<\/p>\n\n\n\n God is the one who gives us the ability to be creative:<\/p>\n\n\n\n He has filled them with skill to do all kinds of work as engravers, designers, embroiderers in blue, purple and scarlet yarn and fine linen, and weavers – all of them skilled workers and designers.<\/em> Exodus 35:35<\/p>\n\n\n\n Many highly sensitive people are prone to creativity and exercising art in different forms, as it helps us to express our emotions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The ability to feel more:<\/strong> Since HSP are often in tune with their emotions, they are able to feel things more deeply. The sound of music, the beauty of nature, and the peace of a sunset are joyful experiences for the sensitive heart. No one feels worship as intensely as a highly sensitive person. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Conscientious: <\/strong>Highly sensitive people are most like to be conscientious. They don\u2019t like to be late and work carefully and thoroughly. Whatever they produce it is of high quality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Peacemakers: <\/strong>Since HSP don\u2019t like conflict, they are great at helping resolve a tense situation. Jesus says that the peacemakers are blessed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.<\/em> Matthew 5:9<\/p>\n\n\n\n Being a peacemaker is so close to God\u2019s heart! <\/p>\n\n\n\n Encouragement: <\/strong>Since HSP are empathetic and care about other people, they are great at encouraging others. They want others to live up to their potential, see them discovering their strengths, and help them to keep going while facing challenges. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Therefore encourage one another\u00a0and build each other up,\u00a0just as in fact you are doing.<\/em> 1. Thessalonians 5:11<\/p>\n\n\n\n The gift of prophecy: <\/strong>In my experience, HSP are mostly likely to be sensitive to the voice of the Holy Spirit and are prone to the gift of prophecy. This is something I personally observed in my circle of family and friends. Since they seek out the deeper meaning of things and want more of God\u2019s presence, the Holy Spirit reveals to them hidden secrets and things yet to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n More about prophecy: How I\u2019ve learned about the gift of prophecy<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Imagine what our world would look like without highly sensitive people. How harsh and ruthless our society would be without the empathetic and mild souls. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Your life is not about you, but about God. You are called to be an image-bearer of God. And without even trying, so many characteristics of HSP are already deeply Christlike. You\u2019re so close and dearly held to God\u2019s heart! He gave you a unique personality with gifts and talents to build His kingdom<\/a>. Don\u2019t hide your sensitivity but put it to use to glorify God, because the world needs you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Read more blog posts for highly sensitive people:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The highly sensitive person<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Feeling misunderstood as a highly sensitive Christian<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Overcoming shame as a Christian introvert<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2b50\ufe0f Follow me on Instagram<\/a> for daily encouragement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2b50\ufe0f Do you need more trust in God?
