You I label with the initials ISP's, meaning "Intuitively sensitive people." Now you might not think you fall into that category, but there are some who would agree with me on that.  Thanks for your God-given gift of this talent and spiritual gift.  I refer to it as true, genuine and agape love of a koinonial nature.  (If any of you know New Testament Greek, you'll have a much better grasp of what I'm trying to convey).
