Reclaiming Our Children: A Blog About Healing After Abortion

If I glorify myself, my glory is worth nothing;
but it is my Father who glorifies me,
of whom you say, ‘He is our God.’ Jesus

You may be saying, how in the heck do I make nothing of myself? Not an easy task…we can spend our lives kicking ourselves out of Gods way so He can work in us.

Our natural tendencies are to pride, and even with best intentions. It manages to creep into whatever we do. Even in our healing we cling to it, especially when we refuse to forgive ourselves after He has forgiven us.

So, what do we do? We admit that to God, we tell Him we know this about ourselves and we ask Him to help us to stay out of His way so that He can work in our lives and bring us to Himself.

He will do it if we ask….

"Make nothing of yourself, so that God can make the universe of you."
