This week I shared about my childhood sexual and physical abuse and my 3 abortions in adulthood with a friend, who had no idea about these traumas in my past. Childhood abuse and abortion deeply wound a woman’s soul. Only God’s unconditional Love and Forgiveness, the blood of Jesus, and the power of the Holy Spirit can heal her and set her free.
I am so thankful for God’s love and forgiveness, and the grace and mercy He has extended me. God has even turned this around 180 degrees and used my painful past to minister to and help heal other women, who have been through similar traumas. He uses my powerful testimony to glorify His Son Jesus, as He did when I shared my story with my friend this week. Just look at the great things God has done in and through my life!
“He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us.” – 2 Corinthians 1:4, NLT
“You intended to harm me, but God intended it all for good. He brought me to this position so I could save the lives of many people.” – Genesis 50:20, NLT
What about you? Have you been sexually, verbally, or physically abused in childhood? Had an abortion? Lived in a dysfunctional family with alcoholism, drug addiction, or gambling? Had absent parents? Were you adopted? Have you been through a difficult divorce? Had a spouse who committed adultery or abandoned you?
