Reclaiming Our Children: A Blog About Healing After Abortion

… she carries me when my sins make me
heavy.

She loves me like Jesus does.

… she knows the man I ain't,

She forgives me when I can't.

That devil, man, he don't stand a chance.

She loves me like Jesus does.

All the crazy in my dreams,

Both my broken wings,

Every single piece of who I am.

She knows the man I ain't,

She forgives me when I can't.

That devil man, he don't have a prayer.

She loves me like Jesus does.

Have you heard the song, “She Loves Me Like
Jesus Does” by Eric Church? If not you should. 
I love the lyrics and it is very popular on the country charts. Just the
title brings a knowing and a peace, the peace of Christ. Christ’s love is
transforming. It brings us to the dignity of who He meant for us to be. It is
this peace that heals the deep wounds of abortion.

Reflecting the love of Christ gives those
who have experienced abortion courage to look and to work through what happened
honestly. It is His love that lifts someone from the depths of despair, freeing
them from the prison of their guilt, shame, and grief.

We are all called to love those who have
experienced abortion “as Jesus does.”  To
love them in spite of, or even because of, what they have done. To forgive
them, when they are unable to forgive themselves and to chase away the
murmurings of the devil. When they are tempted to fall into despair, we are
called to be a sign of the unconditional love of Christ as they travel to
knowing Him on the journey of post abortion healing.

Once they come to know His love, mercy, and forgiveness they will feel His
peace and “that devil man, he don’t stand a chance,” because we loved them like
Jesus does!
