Hypersensitivity? Is it normal.

[Jehovah is God]

Probably not!

Whenever I hear of some dreadful news such as someone being mercilessly killed or harmed, -whether it'd be on the radio, television or elsewhere. I feel extremely saddened with a surge of anxiety sweeping through my body.
I obsess over this news so much so that I cannon stop thinking about it, as I always immagine me in that situation, and what the victim must have felt. And I just ask myself how could God let this happen, and what if it'd been me?

I can't understand how one human being could harm another human being. It just reminds me of the sick, tormented world we are made to endure. However, is it really worth it?

Do not be afraid! We know that God will deliver Christians from all evil (1 Thessalonians 5:9). ‘And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him’ (Romans 8:28).

Yes, it is normal for us to feel sensitive when we hear of bad things happen to other people. This world is tainted and corrupted by sin; bad things are simply bound to happen. And you, as a sinner, are guilty for this too. You sin and you consciously and constantly disobey God's commands.

However, the good news is that Jesus, the Son of God, who was God himself in the flesh, died on the cross to redeem us and purify us from all our sin (1 John 1:9). If you believe in these things, you are forgiven, and you have nothing to fear (Romans 8:31-39); but, if you do not, you must convert and believe, so that you may be saved (Romans 10:9).

What about all the evil we see in this world? Well, God always has a plan for everything (Isaiah 55:9) and, even in the darkest moments, he shall never forsake us and he causes wondrous miracles to happen in the most extraordinary circumstances. His glory is increased even in our trouble.

Do not worry: God is with you.
