Secrets have a way of binding us, don’t they? They wrap around our hearts and tighten their grip until we feel suffocated by shame. For a woman who has walked the difficult road of abortion, finding personal forgiveness is a monumental first step. But often, there is one more hurdle to clear before total freedom is realized: the need to share that burden with someone else.
In this tender conversation, Cheryl La Mastra and I discuss the courage it takes to “cut the cords” of past sin by bringing it into the light. Specifically, we talk about the delicate, yet often healing necessity of telling a spouse or a trusted friend about a past abortion. It is a terrifying prospect for many, I know. But as we explore in this video, secrecy fuels shame, while vulnerability—within the safety of a loving relationship—paves the way for the complete restoration God intends for you.
