Pain relief

by David Long

As far as I know no one likes pain. I know I don't. When we do have pain we seek pain relief. When it comes to physical pain we get pain relief through medicine or also called "pain killers." Depending on the kind of pain sometimes physical therapy brings pain relief. Regardless of the kind of pain one thing is for sure, we desire pain relief. You know one of the reasons why I don't want to die lost? Because there will be no pain relief. "And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence" (Lk. 16:22-26).
