I had an abortion 5 months ago; I knew it was wrong, but had been with my partner just 4 months. I was actually happy when I found out, but got really really sick, and my partner turned into a scared bunny. In the end I had little time to make a decision, and made the wrong one. Because I acted from a place of fear: I had no job, had been told I had to move from my house and had no certainty that my relationship would survive. I loved my baby so much and wonder now how could I be so weak?
After 2 months I was late and was scheduled to see a doctor, next thing I know I'm in the hospital and I'm having a miscarriage. I take the pill and didn't know I was pregnant, but I would have kept this one had I known. Now all I feel is emptiness, and so, so, so bad.
My partner feels so bad that it's affecting me like this he's asked me if I want a child now, and at that thought I remember the first one, and why couldn't I have just allowed him or her to live? I don't know how to forgive myself.

This is my anonymous confession. I had an abortion and I feel absolutely heartbroken. The baby was very much loved and wanted, but I was in a situation of domestic violence and legal issues and it would of risked my safety to have the child. I was always against abortion before, but now I am of a different opinion. I believe it should be allowed in certain circumstances. I hope that you never have to go through this because it is absolutely the hardest choice you will ever make in your life. It was the chance for me to live a life of safety or live a life of fear with my child......I chose my life without fear. So, I'll spend the rest of my life living my life to the fullest, knowing that my baby was sacrificed for me.

Just remember what you did in the past is the past. You were already forgiven. God loves you and so do I!
Jesus doed for your sins so you could be free of unworthieness and sorrow. I good reminder is John 3:16.

i want forgiveness by: Anonymous
I carry this with me every day and i want forgiveness. I am so sorry. I and my then-wife had an abortion 29 years ago for stupid, selfish immature reasons and it has turned out to be the greatest regret of my life. I feel at heart foul and unworthy. If I didn't feel daily regret, I would be even more foul and unworthy. I don't know where forgiveness lies. I believe in God and Jesus Christ but, like Mother Theresa, I'm not so sure I believe in a personal God who hears me asking for forgiveness. I am so sorry. I pray to do something worthy and honorable to put some balance on the other side of the scale.
thank you for hearing my anonymous confession.

Self-forgivness and the Bible by: Anonymous
Many people do not understand how it feels like to have an abortion especially if you believe in God. It happens, the effects are enormous, mostly are self-hate, self-disrespect and low self-esteem. I have been trying to forgive myself and i still can not. I did what i knew was wrong. I need all my strength to forgive myself.
God always forgives us by: Anonymous
I have never had an abortion, but have often wondered how women can actually go through it and feel fine afterwards. I kind of imagine myself having one and how I would feel and the feeling is not good at all. I find myself thinking that I could never forgive myself for doing something of this sort but we have a loving God that forgives us, heals us and loves us no matter what. I loved reading this devotional because, as I mentioned, I have never been through the experience of an abortion, but this not only applies to abortion but to any sin. God will always forgive us and help us forgive ourselves.
