Pain Is the Ink

By Diane Wright

Life hurts, because we live in a fallen world. Everyone experiences pain in life at one time or another and different levels of pain. Whatever level of pain you’re experiencing,
PAIN IS PAIN...AND IT HURTS!

I would like to share my personal experience of pain. A time when so many things seemed to be going wrong and some things seemed IMPOSSIBLE...and at times, I didn’t know how I would make it through.

BUT...

I DID MAKE IT THROUGH!
...AND THE IMPOSSIBLE became the POSSIBLE.

I open my heart only to try and help the one’s that find themselves in that dark place that only the “Light of Hope” can lead them out. Whatever name your “pain” has: discouragement, depression, loss of a loved one, a broken heart or just feeling lost, let me hand you the light that led me out.
The “Light of Hope,” Jesus.

‘PAIN’ is ‘PAIN’
JESUS is the ‘WAY OUT’

In this world you will have tribulation, but be of good cheer. I have overcome the world. (John 16:33)

I am the Way the truth and the light. (John 8:12)

Dedication

This book is dedicated to the One who I have come to trust more and more. More than anyone else. I know He loves me unconditionally and He wants me to be happy. He wants the best life for me. He wants that for everyone. I am so grateful to Him and I am grateful that we have His Word to guide us through this life. I hate to think of where I would be without Him. He is my Savior and sweet Heavenly Father…our sweet Heavenly Father.

Most importantly….

He said He would never leave me….

.…nor forsake me.

Hebrew 13:5 (KJV)
