My first abortion was at the tender age of 15, begining a cycle that wouldn't end until 10 years passed and 5 more lives were taken. In my shame, I kept the number of abortions, and the details to myself. Even after coming to know that Lord as my Savior, I carried my grief and regret alone, assuming that I deserved whatever pain came my way. A sense of punishment, I suppose. I believed in forgiveness for everyone and everything else, but didn't accept it for that area of my past. Binding the Brokenhearted allowed me to take a look at what I really had done, take responsibility for it, repent of it, and opened my eyes and my heart to receive the forgiveness and healing that Jesus has for me.
