Recently a Post-abortion client finished the eight week Bible study we provide, called “Forgiven and Set Free.” The abortion we were discussing during this time was long in the past – many years – but is still affecting her in many ways. This wonderful study really helps women to work through the emotions, pain, guilt, shame, forgiveness and anger that come with that decision for many people.

 It helps to be able to talk about it in a safe place.

It helps to have “permission” to grieve.

It helps to know you’re not alone.

And – she told me she learned that “God is not mad at me.”

What a wonderful thing to be part of… learning to find and accept forgiveness, extend it to others, and to forgive yourself.
