Gain Clarity for Abusive Behavior

You can gain clarity for abusive behavior through the lens of faith. A lovely woman named Melanie helped me get clear; here’s the story.

When you choose to trust in the only way, Jesus Christ, and continuously walk by faith in the light of Christ, incredible things happen. The Holy Spirit will guide the path set before you.

You’ll be with people who lift you, help you grow, and bless your life. Recently, I met a lovely woman named Melanie Fagen. She held a contest on her blog, “She Breaths Hope,” and chose me as the winner.

The Lens of Faith

However, crossing paths with Melanie altered my perception of My Testimony of Coming to Faith in Jesus Christ. I believe everyone enters your life for a purpose. People can be a lesson and a blessing; sometimes, they can be both.

Melanie was both; she helped me gain clarity for abusive behavior with the phrase “The Lens of Faith.”

I’m unsure what Melanie meant by “The Lens of Faith.” Her expression suggested that I consider my life story from God’s perspective.

Gain Clarity For Abusive Behavior

What Melanie doesn’t understand is she assisted me in gaining clarity for abusive behavior. In the past, I viewed my personal life story through the “Lens of Man.”

Through the lens of man, I was a victim of child abuse and domestic violence.

I attempted to understand life’s violations and struggles from a man’s perspective. However, explaining these struggles through “The Lens of Man” was misleading and never appeared to heal a tormented mind or a broken heart.

Viewing my life story through the “Lens of Faith” from God’s perspective made all the difference. Now, I understand why people suffer abuse, why they abuse and violate others, and how to help victims heal.

There’s More to Story Than Meets the Eye

I’ve always believed there was more to the story than meets the eye. I thought there was something more God was trying to teach me and going to help me accomplish for His glory.

The “Lens of Faith” has the clarity needed to enlighten you on the truth, the realities you must grapple with, of abuse and violence. You may not accept the truth and can seek to change the fact. However, the truth will prevail because the Lord is the truth.

The truth is never easy to digest. However, it’s the only way to experience genuine healing. It will take a while to write the story and share the truth of abuse and violence. I hope you check back for updates as they become available.
