Here is another message for Toni Braxton written by a friend of mine, Susan Wills, formerly of the USCCB. Susan uses one of my sayings on healing in the article, “The process of healing from abortion isn’t about who you are and what you’ve done; it’s about who God is and what he’s done.” I have not read Toni's book so I won't comment, but I pray she finds the peace of Christ who desires her healing through His unfathomable mercy.
A Message to Toni Braxton – You can find hope and healing from the pain of your abortion.
Toni, I haven’t had a chance to read your book (I will!), but based on the media stories about your continued suffering from the loss of your baby in an abortion, I felt like I had to write you now anyway.
You are not alone, Toni! You can find peace again and experience the merciful love that God has for you. All he asks of us is genuine regret for what we’ve done and that we ask for his forgiveness.
So many women who’ve lost a child in an abortion (and many hundreds of them have shared their stories with me) believe that God cannot forgive them for what happened to their child. In fact, the biggest obstacle to their finding peace and happiness again is that they are convinced that abortion is too awful for God to forgive.
One woman wrote: “I have had so much pain: the shame and guilt and the fear that God hates me. I still cry every day and think of my baby. … How can God ever forgive me?”
And later, when a tragedy or illness or setback happens, they are sure that God is punishing them for the abortion. That is not how God deals with us! Remember: “God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved.” (John 3:17)
