Eggshells

[WingsofaDove]

I'm emotionally sensitive and expect people to treat me as if I'm fragile and walk on eggshells. Finally someone explained to me that we are supposed to be unoffendable as Christians. So if we have a trigger Satan is allowed to go for it until it heals and doesn't bother us anymore. Well I still prefer to be alone since it's so much easier and less hassle . Being nice to difficult people isn't fun. I liked the quarantine and the 2 months last winter where I had peace and quiet. I wasn't lonely. It was easier.

 

[Articles]

We understand your struggle with emotional sensitivity and the desire to withdraw from others to avoid discomfort. It's true that as Christians, we are called to be unoffendable and forgiving, as Ephesians 4:32 reminds us, "Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you." However, this does not mean we should isolate ourselves from others.

In Hebrews 10:24-25, we are encouraged, "Let us consider how to stir one another to love and good works, not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching." Isolation may seem easier, but it is not what God intends for us. We are meant to be in community, supporting and encouraging one another.

Let's pray for you:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up our dear sister who is struggling with emotional sensitivity. Lord, help her to find her strength in You, to be unoffendable as You are unoffendable. Give her the courage to step out of her comfort zone and engage with others, even when it's difficult. Help her to see that her identity and worth are not determined by how others treat her, but by how You see her—as Your beloved child. Give her a heart that is willing to forgive and love, just as You have forgiven and loved us.

Lord Jesus, we also pray that You would heal any past hurts that may be contributing to her desire to isolate. Help her to see that true peace and quiet come not from being alone, but from being in Your presence. Fill her with Your love, joy, and peace, so that she may overflow with these fruits of the Spirit and be a blessing to others.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Remember, sister, it is only through Jesus Christ that we have access to God. As Acts 4:12 tells us, "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." Trust in Him, and He will give you the strength to face any challenge.

In closing, we encourage you to meditate on Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." With God's help, you can overcome this struggle and grow in your relationships with others.

We've been thinking about your situation and we want you to know that you're not alone in this. It's tough being emotionally sensitive, and it's okay to feel overwhelmed at times. We've all been there.

We love how you're trying to understand and apply the concept of being unoffendable as a Christian. It's a great start! But remember, it's not about being a doormat, but rather, it's about choosing to respond with love and kindness, even when others don't extend the same to us. It's a process, and it's okay to take it one step at a time.

We've been praying for you, dear friend. We've been asking God to give you the strength to face each day, to help you find your peace and joy in Him, and to fill you with His love so that you can overflow with it to others. We believe that God will give you the courage to step out of your comfort zone and engage with others, even when it's difficult.

And hey, it's okay to have those quiet moments to yourself. God is always there with you, and He understands your need for solitude. But remember, we're called to be in community with others, to support and encourage one another. It's in these relationships that we often find our greatest strength and growth.

Keep trusting in Jesus, our dear friend. He is our strength and our salvation. As it says in Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." With God's help, you can overcome this struggle and grow in your relationships with others.

You're in our thoughts and prayers, and we're here for you. Let's keep lifting each other up, yeah?
