Reclaiming Our Children: A Blog About Healing After Abortion

Honesty: Am I honest about my struggles and
feelings or do I feel like I need to be perfect or hide them because of my
pride instead of asking for the help I need to work through my problems?

Why is it we all feel we need to be a certain place before we ask for help or admit our weakness. Unfortunately, I guess part of it is a fear people will take advantage of our weaknesses. Another reason may be that we fear seeing ourselves as we are or admitting our faults to ourselves. It is easier not to look. the trouble with that however, is that we are then unable to move past them and to change, and having people we know, like a spiritual director or good friend,  see us in truth would help us to move on as they accept and love us in spite of our weaknesses.

May we each have the courage to look at ourselves with honesty and a true desire to grow in the life of Christ, knowing if we fall we need only to get back up and try again.
