The 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. Are these extravagant promises?
We think not. They are being fulfilled among us, sometimes quickly,
sometimes slowly. They will always materialize if we work for
them.
