Sins of my father, sins of mine

I was physically and emotionally abused by my father until I married and moved out at age 19. For my entire life, until this study, I carried around unforgiveness and hatred for him and the things he had done to me. I even was able to blame him sometimes for my abortion, even though I knew it was a choice I made. One morning during this study the Lord revealed to me that while the things he did to me were very wrong, I am no different than he. I killed my child, he never had a chance to live. You see, my sin or my father's sin, we both need the blood of Jesus to wash us clean. Praise the Lord, I am free.
