42 Years Bound—Now Free: Forgiven at the Cross, Forever Changed

Before She Found His Grace healing and recovery class, I was living my days in deep sorrow. I have been in ministry in my church for several years, sharing with other women the forgiveness Jesus offers, but behind closed doors, I was not receiving forgiveness for myself. I felt I deserved the pain and shame, so I would never forget what I did.

Since taking the classes, I have learned the full impact on us all from what happened in the Garden of Eden and the full impact of what Christ did on the cross. The deep study and support of the coaches showed me that God’s grace is for me, too, and I can live in freedom. The sin of abortion does not control my life anymore. I used to keep my abortion a secret, and I never talked about my child. Now I can talk about what happened, I can tell the world that she exists and is with Jesus, and I can share my story in hopes that other women will choose life. I also pray that my testimony will help other post-abortive women to seek help and receive God’s grace and forgiveness just like I did.

I am excited to share what God has done through the class, and how my life has been transformed, and why it is. I know that Christ set me free from years and years of suffering and bondage. I had no idea my abortion had so much to do with the life I chose. I want to share how forgiveness wasn’t accepted by the very one who wanted to heal me! I didn’t know what forgiveness truly was, and through this class, my whole life has changed. All the things that kept me bound for years—all I had to do was take it to the cross and accept the free gift of forgiveness that was there all along! I’ve been searching for years for this kind of freedom and finally have been set free and forgiven, and my abortion is under the blood, along with other things that I carried for over 42 years!! I share my story so God can work through me to help others find peace, freedom, and life again through the cross.
