Acknowledge the anger, the hurt, the guilt, the shame. But because your feelings will change daily, you must choose to anchor yourself in God's Word that never changes. Forgiveness is a product of God's mercy. Just as you did nothing to earn the forgiveness that leads to salvation, you can do nothing to earn forgiveness for your sin now. You must choose to accept God's forgiveness and you must choose to forgive yourself.
Forgiveness is a command.
God never commands us to do something without providing the resources for us to obey Him. It is impossible to obey the command to forgive without relying on God's forgiveness to enable you. If you will allow Him, God will work in you to free you from the bondage of guilt, grief and shame. For more information or help, please contact Gateway Pregnancy Center .
