The Promises

 

These are the Promises, as described on pages 83 and 84 of The Big BookŪ:

 

  • 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.

  • 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 economic uncertainty 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.
