Sadly, this is a story that I hear over & over from women my age (40s) who aborted when they were in college, etc.
The psychological and emotional effects of this action are being seen right now, in this age.
When you are young, you don’t know of think about these effects.
I know women who cry every day over their decision(s) 25+ years ago.......
“I know women who cry every day over their decision(s) 25+ years ago......”
Same here. But they need to know that the burden can be lifted. Guide them to forgiveness. And always remember the important words Jesus said after He did His healing work..”Go and sin no more!”
You can’t imagine how the sparkle of the soul returns to their eyes as their soul becomes unshackled.
People forget the most important person they must forgive while saying the Lord’s Prayer. “Father, forgive us our sins as we forgive those who have sinned against us.” Don’t forget to forgive yourself and allow your soul to be vulnerable, a necessary step to becoming aware of God’s Love penetrating our soul.
People have no idea how self judgement shackles our souls. Recently, I was working with an elderly woman who was dying of throat cancer. I never met her personally, but was talking with her through her minister husband of over fifty years, while both were on the telephone. Although she could not talk and could only communicate with me by writing notes to her husband, I asked her husband to lay the phone down and not listen so I could communicate only with her. For some reason unknown to me, I can read people’s souls. I told her that her throat cancer was anchored in a memory in her soul of an event that happened when she was 17 yrs old and she never told anyone. She immediately started crying and wrote a note to her husband that she was molested by her piano teacher when she was 17 and never told anyone. Those trapped words and the self judgement attached to them, yes even as a victim, were creating a wound in her soul where Love could not exist. Merely allowing her self guilt to be released, set her free. Yes, she did die shortly thereafter, but had found a peace she had been searching for all her life.
