I'm so thankful you shared your story. I had an abortion and can totally relate to everything you said. I had the same emotions. I wondered what my baby would have looked like and if my baby was a boy or girl. I also totally regreted my obortion. I'm so glad you told your story because it is nice to know that just because your christian doesn't mean that you don't make mistakes. Your story has blessed me and has helped with my healing. Hearing your testimony has given me hope. Thank you!

wow!

who are you to judge??

you must be perfect then?

I dont think so..... Only Jesus is perfect.

Thankyou for your testimony Gwen. May your testimony reach out to everyone who are willing to listen.

What if there really is a judgement day? How are all these murders getting in then? Only the beheaded and martyred are allowed in the kingdom

@loriadebbie Murderer!! ur going to hell

I may be ashamed of what i did....but i am not ashamed of the gospel of God's grace, forgiveness and His salvation. The more i wanted to share my own testimony too so that God's healing power can be preached to the nations. God is a restorer and He wants to heal hurting people and people who are broken. God doesnt dish out punishment but He teaches and disciplines us from our mistakes

[inlovewithjesus1980]

Just think for a moment....when you made mistakes, will you prefer to be handled gently, and graciously with God's truth and conviction in your heart so you can seek God's forgiveness for your sins? Rather than being judged for our mistakes? So if anyone thinks that they are righteous, i would suggest that they should compare themselves with God, not with themselves. No one is righteous, except for God Himself. Treat others with compassion and love, rather than being judgemental.

For those who are judging gwen and other women who went through abortion, before you cast your first stone on anyone, please examine yourselves first and search your heart if you are sinless and all perfect like Jesus. Please stop being so self righteous for your own sake!!! Christians are not perfect people thats why we need Jesus in our lives. We need God's grace and forgiveness when we make mistakes. All of us are fallen human beings and we all fall short of God's standards!!!

Gwen.... i am also glad that you did share it with your church. It actually took a lot of courage to admit your mistake and feel convicted for what you have done. God sees our heart when we truly repent for our sin and He cleansed us from our sins and forgive us for our iniquity. Just because we are christians, that doesnt make us perfect. We are still humans and we make mistakes. Only Jesus is perfect. By his blood, we are washed clean as white as snow. :)

I am really touched and thankful for your testimony. It moved me because i once had an abortion too....when i was 24. I can totally relate to you in every way and i went through the same emotional experience as you did. I was ashamed of myself and i felt really depressed after the abortion. I totally regretted the abortion and often wonder the sex of the baby. I am so glad that you shared this story. It actually took a courage for you to share it because it wasnt easy. God bless you. :)
