God does not willingly inflict punishment on men. Our pain and our suffering are the direct results of a violation of the Moral, Natural or Civil Law.
We who were guilty of over-indulgence must pray the price, not FOR our indulgence but BECAUSE of our indulgence. The consequences must follow as the night follows the day. It is the LAW.
We have violated this LAW and we have paid dearly for it, but we do not have to persist in our violations. The body will heal, sins will be forgiven, things will right themselves if, and when, we put our thoughts and actions in tune with the immutable laws of God, of Nature and of man.
As sins bring punishment as a natural consequence, so right living brings its own compensations, not as a reward for deeds done but as a CONSEQUENCE.
