Comments on: “Don’t Trust Your Feelings” – Emotions and the Christian Highly Sensitive Person http://www.highlysensitivechristian.com/dont-trust-your-feelings-christian-highly-sensitive-person/852 Fostering a relaxed, heart-based relationship with God through Jesus Sat, 31 Jul 2010 08:27:54 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Springtime http://www.highlysensitivechristian.com/dont-trust-your-feelings-christian-highly-sensitive-person/852/comment-page-1#comment-121 Springtime Mon, 19 Jul 2010 06:17:35 +0000 http://www.highlysensitivechristian.com/?p=852#comment-121 Though my parents themselves didn't teach this, the church I grew up in held the expression of much emotion highly suspect- a sign of spiritual immaturity or downright heresy. As a highly emotional and sensitive person, this disturbed me, but I felt that somehow it was disprespectful to the leadership of the church and possibly God Himself to question this. Deep down in my heart, I knew there was something better, but it was always in conflict with what I was taught a mature Christian should be like. After some very painful life experiences, I came to a point where I had it with feelings and the trauma they produced in my life and I just went numb and into survival mode. I was miserable. Jesus is bringing me through that, and has broken through the hardness of my heart . I can feel again. I realize that emotions can get out of control, and we should not allow them to control us, but neither should we try to stifle what God has created within us as a good thing.

May Jesus bless you deeply. He loves to hang with you, you know, and loves it when you talk with Him. Thanks for the blessing of peace, goodwill, and the applesauce.

I consider myself to be a highly sensitive person. Im not a Christian but I do pray to Jesus every now and then. My point is that when I deny myself of others for example I feel a loss. Sometimes a strong sense of intense lonliness. But I dont think I think the worst because of it. And not everyone does. Peace, Goodwill, and Applesauce. Robert Interesting disscussion post.

The tidal wave of intensity with some emotions I'm having lately is un-nerving at the least and a relief at the best. I'm just trying not to deny my humanity anymore.
