A woman's story · Binding Up the Brokenhearted

Guilt and shame removed

I know that I was led to this study by God. I was searching online for a Christian Bible study pertaining to abortion and it's aftermath, and healing from it, and forgiveness, and when I stumbled on this study after doing some searching, I hoped that it was what I was looking for. And it was that and more! God saw my needs in the area of healing and filled them through this Bible study. It carried me step by step through the Scripture and showed me what God's word says about sin and forgiveness. I can now say that all of the guilt and shame associated with my past sins have been removed because of my understanding of God's forgiveness, His mercy, love and grace. The heartache that I carried buried deep within me for so many years has been lifted. I understood God's forgiveness prior to this study, but not in the area of my abortions. I often said that I knew He had forgiven me, but I could not forgive myself. This study helped me to understand that it is not about forgiving myself. That only God is able to forgive my sin. And that is all that I need. Thank you for making this Bible study available, and for making it available online. It has had a deep impact on my life!
