A Dozen Steps

The How and Why of It

by Mark on May 24th, 2006

“How It Works” pgs. 62-63

“First of all, we had to quit playing God. It didn’t work.

Next, we decided that hereafter in this drama of life, God was going to be our director. He is the Principal: we are His agents. He is the Father, and we are His children. Most good ideas are simple, and this concept was the keystone of the new and triumphant arch through which we passed on to freedom.

When we sincerely took such a position, all sorts of remarkable things followed. We had a new Employer. Being all powerful, He provided what we needed, if we kept close to Him and performed His work well. Established on such a footing we became less and less interested in ourselves, our little plans and designs. More and more we became interested in seeing what we could contribute to life. As we felt new power flow in, as we enjoyed peace of mind, as we discovered we could face life successfully, as we became conscious of His presence, we began to lose our fear of today, tomorrow or the hereafter. We were reborn.”

Hmmm -

• Freedom

• Needs filled

• Peace of mind

• Fear gone

Yeah - works for me :-)

A Sober, Clean Day To All,

Mark
