Reclaiming Our Children: A Blog About Healing After Abortion

Okay, so this morning I got a phone call from a good friend of mine. Of course, she is privy to a lot going on in my life. She  called me hardly containing her laughter as she had seen the articles from the Divine Mercy Congress. "Boy", she exclaimed, "God certainly wants you to be humble!"

If you haven't seen the article, you can check it out here http://www.mercycongress.org/

So, it leads with "the Greatest Sinner"…"I could not Fathom what I had done". The stamp is on my head, "guilty" the sign on my back,"She killed her child" only the funny thing is, I do not feel shame. I do not feel insulted, I do not feel embarrassed or  like it is untrue, and I am okay and at peace with it.

Why?Because in the Divine Mercy of God I have found myself healed from those things. The shame, embarrassment, guilt etc etc. Instead of being afraid and running from the fact, I know I am a sinner, and while I strive not to sin, I am also aware that anything I do right is because of His grace in my life.

The things I feared to face and deal with have become the things I am okay with in the light of God's love and mercy and what He has done for me. I now stand in truth, the truth of my sin and the truth of Gods mercy…and there is nowhere else I would rather be….praise God, I can join in the laughter with my good friend, not about my sin itself, but about the truth of myself knowing I am "the greatest sinner" and God is the God of Mercy!
