FJWL_02:78
         (Dad:) One of the problems with sensitivity is that it not only makes the person who is sensitive miserable, but it also makes it nearly impossible to give that person instruction or correction. Something that shouldn't be that big of a deal becomes a very big mountain and a source of huge discouragement, and in the end, a big waste of time. Whereas, if people could just trust the Lord and say, "Amen," "Yes," "Thank you," then the Lord could work in their lives and bring about His desired results.
         But just because somebody's sensitive, that doesn't mean you should hold back the instruction that the Lord has for them. You still have to give it, even though you know that their reaction won't be good. Even if you know that they're going to have a problem or possibly even bomb out, you still have to give the correction. You can give it as lovingly and sweetly and gently as possible, but you still have to give it.
