... surely brings
a full return, the certainty ...
12&12
Step Twelve, p.124
Service,
gladly rendered,
obligations squarely met,
troubles well accepted or
solved with
God's
help, the
knowledge that at
home or in
the
world outside we are
partners in a
common effort, the
well-
understood fact that in
God's
sight all
human beings are
important, the
proof that
love freely given surely brings a
full return, the
certainty that
we are
no longer isolated and
alone in
self-
constructed prisons, the
surety that we
need no longer be
square pegs in
round holes but can
fit and
belong in
God's
scheme of
things -- these are
the
permanent and
legitimate satisfactions of
right living for which
no amount of
pomp and
circumstance,
no heap of
material possessions, could
possibly be
substitutes.
