The Cry

One in three women will have an abortion. Forty-five percent will have more than one. I am one in three. I am one in forty-five percent. I am not alone.

I was sixteen years old when the cry began. It was a silent screaming within my soul that I felt sure everyone could hear. I carried the cry for fifteen years before I was able to identify it.

It started the day I had my first abortion.

"A simple outpatient procedure; we will remove the mass of tissue. You're young-you have your whole lives ahead of you to have children. You're making the right choice." I believed them.

My "choice" led me down a dark path of self-destructive behavior that lasted for ten long years! I was desperate to be free. "God, if you can hear me, please help me, make it stop!" I cried. Jesus heard my cry and healed the aching in my heart.

What is post-abortion syndrome? Will God heal me after what I did? How can I be free? These were all questions that I had. If you are struggling with a past abortion, or if you have been carrying a cry, you are not alone. Whether you have had one abortion or multiple abortions, only He can heal the damage that abortion causes. Jesus sees your pain and longs to heal you.

You have a choice to make. You can allow the Lord to heal you, or you can continue to carry the cry.
