Reclaiming Our Children: A Blog About Healing After Abortion

The Prodigal son is one of my favorite scriptures. I love the humanness of all the characters Jesus speaks of and how God speaks to His love of each one of them where they may be in their journey to Him.

I also can personally relate to each one of them. Perhaps that was His intention, that we all may have a little of them in each one of us.

Most obvious of course, in regards to my abortion is the son who took his wealth and went off and squandered it all in crazy living. He returns home only after he has realized that pigs have a better life then he does and all his high living brought him to naught.

Of course, the most wonderful part is that his father not only accepts him back, but runs out to greet him, kills the fatted calf and celebrates the return of his lost son. He does not sit him down and throw everything up in to his face, he does not scold him or shame him.he embraces him and calls for a celebration o f his return to the fold, much like God does when we return to Him after abortion.

If you are new to healing and still worry about the reception of God to your returning to Him after abortion, read the story of the Prodigal Son and talk to someone who has gone before you back into the fold after an abortion. I can assure you, His mercy endures forever….
