I knew it was wrong and i did it anyways because i was straight scared and I regret and repent. I am now going to church and gave my life back to JC. I know JC forgave me but I just cant stop grieving! and I want to really feel and look forward seeing my child in heaven when I go. I just hope that my child will still love me. Can someone please share scripture where I can go for this?

I agree with Albert. Of course, sweetie, you have already been forgiven. your child loves you. He or she is in the arms of a loving savior waiting for you.
Yes, there are scriptures for you. Blessed are those who mourn, plus so many others. Do a word study on mourning, weeping, children.
talk to your pastor, hon. He will not condemn you, as some on here have tried to do. He will help you.
you are a new creation in Christ, the old is gone, and behold, the new is here. Will you stop grieving your loss? Probably not, but you are forgiven, you have hope.
the Bible says, Cast your care on Christ, because he cares for you. It is true. Pray, tell God how you feel, He will be your comfort.
Trust this.

I know of no scriptures, but I cringe at everything I did wrong in my life and I find myself cringing a lot.
I don't expect to find my name in the book of life, but that doesn't stop me from trying to be better and trying to live a better life.
I don't do things for rewards. I do things because I think they're right. Maybe they're not always right.
YOu did someting once that you thought was right and now you have misgivings.
Well, what if you were a terrible mother and the child came out all wrong. Maybe you'd never do things right otherwise. Maybe this thing put you on the right track.
As for love
You can keep a child raise that child for 20 or 30 years and they may still have a difficult time "loving" you in the typical sense.
Love is something earned through hard work and selfless effort, with no desire for rewards.
Don't expect.
YOu did what you did
You did what you had to
If you regret it, well, nothing can totally undo that
It changed your life
Don't let it stop your life
Live and love
The day may come when you have a 14 year old preganant daughter and if this clouds your judgement then bias, prejudice and judgement may cause three beings to be hurt.
Share you feelings.
Let her share hers
Do what's best for the one you love, even if it's not the "right" choice or the PC choice or the "proper" choice.
This experience was meant to teach you something, possibly for the future.
This does not mean go to some place where young girls are looking for answers and giving them the wrong, biased or prejudice answer
It means sharing your love, then letting them make their own choices and living with them.
Here's a scripture for you, I actually thought of one
Judge, least ye be judged.
Stop judging yourself, that's God's job not yours.
This will not make the cringe inside go away. Nothing will ever do that.
Stop living in the past and get on with your new life and learn from what you did and try and do better and don't let that one mistake make you do other mistakes to other people.
You want love
Give it
Love is honesty
And if necessary love is taking some girl to a hospital to get her self fixed, because you known deep donw inside she'll die from the fear.
Betraying your new faith in an act of love may be necessary.
You will know when the time comes, because you were there once.
Don't let a cinder in your eye ever keep you from seeing reality.
I believe in God and Jesus
But I also believe you had to do what was best for you
Judge least ye be judged
Stop judging!

I really recommend that you go to the website http://www.healinghearts.org You can sign up for a free, online post-abortion Bible study there. It is EXCELLENT. You will be paired with an email counselor, most likely a woman who aborted a child herself and is now a Christian. At Healing Hearts, they understand exactly what you are going through and will be able to help. I'm so glad that you listened to your conscience and the Spirit and repented, rather than excusing what you did and hardening your heart. As a Christian, I'm sure you know that the answers to your grief are in God's Word and not in psychology, people's opinions, etc., and that's why I recommend the Bible study at Healing Hearts. It will address all the issues you are dealing with. I hope you'll give it a try. God bless.

My sweet child. You your statement shows that you have truly repentant for your actions. You can be assured that you have been forgiven if you asked with a repentant heart. Keep in mind that God has said, "I remove your sins from you as far as the east is from the west" never to be brought up in his memory again. You will have regrets and you should, that's the consequence of sin; guilt. But I beg you to not let the enemy (Satan) rob you of a relationship with God. It is Satan's purpose to make you feel that you are worthless, you are not. You can not changed the past, so move forward with the hope that the Creator has forgiven you, think about your child from time to time, but do not let it consume you. I've never had an abortion but I've had a miscarrage and I'm sadden at times by my lost so I can only imagine how you feel about your abortion. Please do not let these feeling interfer with you growing spiritually. As for as scripture to support the question that your child will go to heaven and love you, there's no scripture to support that thought. Keep in mind, that it is God that decides who go to heaven. Put let me share
I John, 1:9; it's two books before Revelation. Take care

Bless your heart, my dear. I can't immagine the termoil you've felt these past few years.
You'll get Scripture from some others on here, but I'll offer you some encouragement as well...
Know that you were loved before & you're still loved now. There is nothing that you can repent of that has not already been forgiven.
Your baby is with your Saviour & is patiently awaiting your reunion on that glad day.
Know also, that grieving is natural. Continued grieving is healing. It means you still have a heart. Let Jesus wipe your tears away & let His healing love & presence in your life aid you in your recovery.
Don't set a time limit on the process. Just remember that your child is well taken care of, as are you.
I will keep you in my prayers....

You were scared for good reason. Becoming responsible for a child is a huge undertaking. Even in the best circumstances, where you can afford the time and energy and emotional cost of bringing the baby to term and then putting it up for adoption, there is still a huge cost to you and possibly to the baby, who would possibly grow up with confusion or insecurity over having been not wanted by her parents. It can be even worse. If you had tried to keep the baby you might discovered that bearing the responsibility was more than you were ready for, and both you and the baby would have suffered.
It is a tragedy whenever a baby has to be aborted. It is proper for you to still feel the pain from your decision. But you should be compassionate with yourself, and recognize that you did what you had to under the circumstances. You are now older and wiser, and when you finish processing your grief you will be wiser still.

Bottom line, can you change the past? If you can't then you have no choice but to go on. Wrong or right really doesn't apply. If that child were meant to be, don't you think that it would be here now. If you really believe in a loving and forgiving God, then take a page out of his book and forgive yourself. Who are you to not forgive what the Lord has forgiven. JC died and although he was perfect, died for everyone. No one else has to do anything accept but to believe in that and know it in your heart. Your best bet is to continue with your life and make of it what you want.

Remember, the bible says that if we repent, God forgives us and puts our sins as far as the east is from the west, and remembers them no more. You have been forgiven, and this sin will never be thrown up in your face again. Accept God's gift of mercy and go on with your life. Don't listen to anyone saying cruel things to you. Your slate has been wiped clean by the blood of Jesus Christ.....if you believe in Him as your savior.

Some people believe that the soul does not enter the body, until the baby is actually born. If this is true, you should feel some better. I understand how you must feel, but, you did what you thought was right at the time, it is in the past and you cant undo it, so you must move on. We learn in life from everything we do weather it is good or bad, and we become wiser, and stronger, because of it.
