A woman's story · Binding Up the Brokenhearted

The Lord's purposes are also for our good

When the Lord led me to this study, I thought it was only for the purpose of helping others find freedom from the guilt and shame that abortion brings. I knew that I had been forgiven through the blood of Jesus, and that my baby was with the Lord, but I soon found out that God still had some "heart surgery" to do on me! Through this study and through my wonderful counselor the Lord revealed to me that I had been holding on to bitterness and anger toward some of those involved in my abortion and in that period of my life. I learned that some of the scars that I thought I had to bear for the rest of my life could be completely healed! I have been a Christian for 15 years and a Pastor's wife for 9 of those. I have a wonderful, biblical, gospel-centered, Christ-exalting church, but I had never experienced, in my own life, intimacy with our Lord like I have during this study. I pray that the Lord will use me to touch the lives of women the way that mine has been touched here, for the glory of His Name, and the advance of His Kingdom.
