The Promises

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 loose 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 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 Fullfilled amoung us~
sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly.
They will always Materialize
if we work for them.
Where do we Find it ?
