Friendship

(C. Jardin) #1

Come then. Get the “hell” out. Bring the blessing and the joy and the heaven in. For thine is
the Kingdom and the power and the glory, forever.
I would not tell this to you if it were not so.


I accept! I accept Your invitation to enter into true friendship with God’ I will follow the Seven
Steps. I will adopt the Five Attitudes. And I will never again believe that You have stopped
talking to me, or that I can’t speak directly to You.


Good.


And, since we are now close friends, I have a favor to ask of You.


Anything. Ask, and you shall receive.


Will You explain here how to implement some of the grandest truths in Conversations with
