March for Life

Abortion. A word shuffled to the deepest recesses of my brain for so many years. A word which causes great pain and suffering for women choosing the easy way out; sometimes, it seems, the only way out. Prior to my book Heavenly Healing being published, I needed to sit down with each of my daughters to tell them about a painful part of my past. A past mentioned in my book. Instead of being horrified, each reacted with such heartfelt love for me and sorrow for a difficult period in my life. I knew my family would forgive my mistake, but could Jesus? In Heaven Speaks About Abortion, the Blessed Mother has this to say:

“My dear little daughter, how I love you and wait to hold you in my arms. I watch you so carefully, alert to any opportunity to bring you to Jesus. I have seen every pain that you have suffered. I have witnessed each bitter tear. You will be fine, now, if you let us heal you. I want to take you by your hand and bring you to my Son. I will tell Him that I am proud of you because you are courageous in admitting your mistakes and asking for forgiveness. Can you imagine the smile Jesus will have for you? He is so beautiful and His eyes will fill with love for you. You see, Jesus does not care what you have done. He does not sit and think constantly about your mistakes. He thinks constantly about your heart and its brokenness. He thinks constantly about His need to have you safe in the family of Christ. He considers all of the good that you are capable of bringing to other souls. Jesus needs you. I, your heavenly mother, need you. Will you help us? Come to your mother now and rest your head against me. You do not see me but I promise you that I am with you. I will never leave you. I have brought many women back to Jesus and they give Him the greatest love and fidelity. That is how I can see you, my daughter. I see you as a loyal, loving servant of Jesus, Who desires to place constant healing graces into your soul.”

Admitting mistakes, especially abortion, pierces my heart. But, I know I am forgiven. Jesus loves us and can use our repented mistakes to help others. Two of my daughters are pregnant now, and I am so thankful I raised them the way I did. They cherish the life growing inside of them. My grandchildren.

Thank you, Lord, for healing my heart. As difficult as it is to talk about one of the biggest mistakes I made in my life, I pray admitting it will help others realize You are waiting to shower them with your healing graces.

God bless,
Bonnie
