Focal Points of Faith
Art and beauty are redeeming. The position of light and darkness in a painting or a photograph produce the best effects, causing the focal point, which draws in the viewer to see and feel what the artist does. I feel it is the same with faith in God. The focal point of belief is where our deepest, darkest fears encounter God's greatest light and beauty. It is through this experience that I launched Healed By Truth over ten years ago, to share The Spiritual Journey of Healing, a series of reflective writings on the spiritual effects of abuse, and mostly because I was interested in the dialogue of faith and faith-wounds with other survivors who struggle to believe in God after what happened.
Through the sharing of art, photography, poetry, writing and music, Healed By Truth has become a space for those who feel compelled to seek and to share the beauty of their faith, in the midst of the pain and the darkness they may encounter. I want to thank all of the many artists, poets, writers, and song-writers, who have contributed to Healed By Truth over the years. Together, we are living proof that anything is possible.
