The Twelve Promises*
-
If we are painstaking about this phase of our development, we will be amazed before we are half way through.
-
We are going to know a new freedom and a new happiness.
-
We will not regret the past nor wish to shut the door on it.
-
We will comprehend the word serenity and we will know peace.
-
No matter how far down the scale we have gone, we will see how our experience can benefit others.
-
That feeling of uselessness and self-pity will disappear.
-
We will lose interest in selfish things and gain interest in our fellows.
-
Self-seeking will slip away.
-
Our whole attitude and outlook upon life will change.
-
Fear of people and of economic insecurity will leave us.
-
We will intuitively know how to handle situations which used to baffle us.
-
We will suddenly realize that God is doing for us what we could not do for ourselves.
Reader: Are these extravagant promises?
Group: We think not!
Reader: They are being fulfilled among us - sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly. They will always materialize if we work for them.
