Dear Healing Hearts Ministry,
Binding up the Broken Hearted made me realize that God knows everything about me. During my journey God invited me to put all the difficult things in my life to rest. I kept the door closed on God's grace for so long, it was time to be set free. I kept asking God over and over to forgive me, but continued to judge myself harshly and had a hard time believing that God could really forgive these actions that I found to be so awful. The hardest part of my healing was self forgiveness. We trust that God can and does forgive us, but we hang onto our own self-recrimination. I realized that my faith in a merciful God and the redemptive power of His Son our Lord Jesus needed to be stronger. God didn't place these terrible things upon me because of my behavior. God granted me pardon and mercy when I confessed and brought my repentant heart to Him. I have a new outlook on life now, through the eyes of my loving father. My family has noticed a positive change in me, and I feel much closer to them. The spiritual numbness and fatigue I used to feel has disappeared, and for the first time in a long time I am comfortable in my own skin. No one ever tells you how your life will be impacted by abortion. Abortion leaves a hole in the soul, it is a wound that only God can heal, but God can heal it, if you allow Him to. Thank you for the opportunity to write and God Bless!
