In the Shadow of Christ
How can you deal with the guilt and grief?
|
- One of the best remedies for guilt is self-
disclosure. Talk about unfinished business to clear up guilt. It has been known to generate small miracles.
- Admit you have a ton of unfinished
emotional business. This is a load off your shoulders and allows you to stop pretending. Then you can admit to the pain you've endured.
- Allow yourself to feel and feel deeply
which can bring knowledge and freedom.
- Forgive. Forgiveness for abortion flows
from the willingness to know the truth and tell the truth. To grow is to forgive yourself no matter how intense the mistake.
- Accept your own feelings first so that you
are free to truly forgive.
- Take the time you need to grieve. Cry if
you need to. Ask your aborted child for forgiveness. Name your baby. Claim him as your own. Name the sin, but remember that God's mercy is greater than any offense you could ever commit.
- You don't have to suffer alone. Turn to
God, your loving Father. Look to Jesus who died upon the cross for your sins. Ask Him into your heart now.
