Soaring Above It All Blog
When God Says “I Forgive You” Last Tuesday night’s podcast conversation with Evangelist Angela Nabrait shook something loose in the spirit.
It wasn’t just her words—it was her honesty, her journey, her healing. And I truly believe this is the beginning of some deep, necessary conversations that will help us all get free.
Angela shared that as a little girl, she was sickly—so sick that she had frequent nosebleeds and had to stay indoors while other kids played outside. But when healing finally came, she ran, jumped, played—everything she had missed. She didn’t just play to catch up on lost time… she played because she had tasted restoration.
But life kept handing her battles. She got pregnant young. And for years after, she lived under a cloud of “not enough”—not good enough, not strong enough, not capable enough. But it wasn’t the world telling her that—it was her own thoughts. Her own mind became the battlefield.
Then came the unthinkable. Her son Michael, full of light and love, was taken at just 19 years old in a car accident. Angela spiraled into a deep depression for three months… until God sent someone her way. A woman who had lost two children in the same way. That divine meeting showed her she wasn’t alone.
But there was something else buried—something even deeper than grief. In 1982, Angela had an abortion. She didn’t talk about it. She barely even let herself think about it. But years later, at a church service, a woman turned to her and said, “God told me to tell you—He forgave you for what happened in 1982.”
Angela said she wept from her soul. It was the kind of cry that only comes when something buried finally sees light. The shame she carried—the quiet belief that maybe God took Michael because she had taken His son—was shattered by truth. God had forgiven her. Fully. Lovingly. Finally.
This is just the start of the conversation. And trust me—there’s more.
Key Takeaways from Angela’s Story:
- Sometimes the most damaging voice is the one in our own head.
- Grief can blind us to the truth of God’s grace.
- God will send people to remind us that we’re not alone.
- What we bury deep, God still sees—and He offers healing anyway.
- Forgiveness is not a feeling. It’s the truth. And God already decided.
