| We will lose interest in selfish things and gain interest
in our fellows. |
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. |
| 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.
