Sensitivity a person s feelings which might be easily offended or hurt sensibilities.1. Sensitivity is a symptom of pride we re hurt and our ego is deflated when others point out our mistakes. Proverbs 11 2 When pride cometh then cometh shame but with the lowly is wisdom. Proverbs 16 18 Pride goeth before destruction and an haughty spirit before a fall. 2. Sensitivity shows we re not really holding onto the Lord and His Word. Psalm 119 165 Great peace have they which love Thy law and nothing shall offend them. Isaiah 26 3 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on Thee because he trusteth in Thee. Philippians 4 6 7 Be careful [anxious] for nothing but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the peace of God which passeth all understanding shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. [If something bothers you give it to the Lord in prayer and He ll give you peace in its place.] 3. Sensitivity takes things personally and ends up believing the Devil s lies and becoming discouraged. Jonah 2 8 They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy. 4. People who are easily offended are not very strong and very unspiritual. Proverbs 14 17 He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly and a man of wicked devices is hated. James 1 19 Wherefore my beloved brethren let every man be swift to hear slow to speak slow to wrath 5. Sensitivity makes it difficult to receive counsel thus hindering training and spiritual growth. Proverbs 4 13 Take fast hold of instruction let her not go keep her for she is thy life. Proverbs 6 23 For the commandment is a lamp and the law is light and reproofs of instruction are the way of life. Proverbs 19 20 Hear counsel and receive instruction that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end. Hebrews 12 11 Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous but grievous nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby. 6. Sensitivity hinders honest open communications undermining our relations with others. Galatians 4 16 [Paul said to the brethren in Galatia ] Am I therefore become your enemy because I tell you the truth 1 Corinthians 1 10 Now I beseech you brethren by the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ that ye all speak the same thing and that there be no divisions among you but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. 7. Persistent sensitivity results in losing our usefulness. Proverbs 15 10 32 Correction is grievous unto him that forsaketh the way and he that hateth reproof shall die. 32 He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding. Matthew 5 13 Ye are the salt of the earth but if the salt have lost his savour wherewith shall it be salted It is thenceforth good for nothing but to be cast out and to be trodden under foot of men. [See also Mark 9 50 Luke 14 34 35.]
