This study has impacted my life in such a way that has brought me closer to God. I am closer because I realize my utter need for Him. I realize that I am so insignificant without Christ. I am nothing without His grace. His grace is what sets me free to not have fear or doubts about everything I do. It's because of his abounding grace that I am able to see who I am to Him. Someone special. Only through His eyes do I see how every person is very special. Through this study I have found the harsh reality of my choice of abortion. Before, I had asked for forgiveness and tried to just forget. I never truly forgot though. I would think it occasionally and wonder about her often. This study helped me to come to full terms with the reality and the full forgiveness of it. It has helped me not to hide it so much when I feel the need that Christ wants me to share it. This study also helped me come to terms with other ungodly areas of my life (from the past). It helped me to hear from God, exactly what needs to be done in order to begin rectifying my situation. It encourages me to know that God is with me always. A big lesson I learned is that although He is with me, it is up to me to "listen" to the Lord through studying His words and not just by my praying/talking to Him. This brings so much more comfort and security and makes me much stronger in times of temptation. Walking, talking, and listening to God is the one thing that is irreplaceable in my life now. I cherish this time I had through this study. I will recommend it to any woman who has experienced the tragedy of abortion and to women who need healing from any of their past. Also, I can recommend this study to men, which is awesome because there are no other resources I know of that is so powerful and in Biblical depth for both men and women. I always remember now that where I am weak - He is strong through me.
