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.
