Reclaiming Our Children: A Blog About Healing After Abortion

The LORD is near to the brokenhearted
and saves the crushed in spirit.

Psalm 73:26

I do not know about you, but for me there is a huge difference from feeling  deely hurt, and being broken hearted. Being broken hearted is something you experience at the core of your being. Sadly, it is something most of us experience at some time in our life.

It may be a betrayal by someone you love and trusted, it may be an abandonment by someone you thought would never abandon you in a million years. It may be a loss that is indescribile…it can come in many forms, even the realization of what we have done when we face the truth of our abortions and the loss of our children.

The amazing thing I think, about a broken heart, is that you can truly feel the presence of God in the midst of the pain. It is as if He has been waiting for you, to heal the broken hearted and save the crushed in spirit.

Forgiving and moving on after an abortion experience can be difficult. So often we can get stuck in the place that keeps us from the freedom of HIs love and grace. we tend to want to hang on and stick with the comfortable even if it is painful, or we are intent of following our own will instead of His.

Have a broken heart? Bring it to Jesus who waits for you and longs to heal it. Give it to Him…all of it. Trust HIm, not others who are only human and often fail sus throught their own weaknesses even though they may love us.

"The Lord is close to the broken hearted"…never forget that..He is there, right there for you!
