A woman's story · Binding Up the Brokenhearted

I have found forgiveness

I had an abortion when I was 31 years old. I already had 2 children and was separated from my husband. I had grown up in the church; accepted Jesus at an early age. However, I was living in a situation that was less than ideal. I was still going to church, occasionally, but it was just for show. I hadn't let Jesus really into my life. I came back to Jesus and back to the church, I had asked for his forgiveness and truly meant it, but I hadn't shared my story. I felt guilty and dirty for what I had done. I couldn't get beyond the fact to let the Holy Spirit use this area for his glory. Now I know God can take any situation even as ugly as mine, and use it for his glory. I have truly forgiven those who hurt me and I have found forgiveness for my sins. Thank you for your ministry. You are truly blessing the lives of many women.
