Forgiveness and Healing

"As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us."
Psalm 103:12

How wonderful it is to know that God, in His infinite mercy, forgives us our sins and then removes them from us till they are as far as the east is from the west. No matter what we may have done, no matter how we have failed, once we repent, God is ready to cleanse us and make us whiter than snow. Many women who made the mistake of aborting their baby can often feel that God could never forgive them. This horrible pang of regret and guilt clouds the woman's view of God's unending love and mercy. There is no other cure for the overwhelming pain of having an abortion except for the tender grace and mercy of Jesus Christ. For anyone who has had an abortion and is struggling to find healing, go no where else but the loving arms of our Heavenly Father. He and He alone can forgive you, remove your pain, and help you to start fresh. It is never too late to begin again. In the Bible, when David committed a sin, he pleaded with God to forgive his sin. He asked God, "Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me." (Psalm 51:10). God is willing to not only forgive your sin, but to also clean you of all unrighteousness. The mercy of God is so boundless that it is described in Psalms as reaching the heavens. "Your mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds." (Psalm 36:5) If you are a victim of an abortion and all the emotional pain it brings, take a moment right now to ask God's forgiveness and cleansing. He is ready and waiting to wash you and make you a new person. With Jesus in your life, the Heavenly Father does not see your sins or past mistakes; He sees the righteousness of His son in your life. God desires to make you as white and clean as snow. Run to Him and ask for healing. He is willing. God Bless you!!
