My contract with God.

I have made a contract with God. The wording are as follows.

I Tom promise to do my best to work a program of action required to obtain and maintain serenity, physical and emotional sobriety. With the work I do, I promise to help others, as others have helped me. I am to maintain constant contact with God and never hesitate or doubt God. God will be there for me. My proof will be in my actions.

In return God will take ALL of my shortcomings, resentments, frustrations, fears, and all my defects of character, as long as I do my best to maintain a positive course of action.

The agreement to these terms can be null and void at any time if I decide to turn my back to God or those I refuse to help that want to be helped. If there are those who do not want help, it is my responsibility to give God my concerns so they do not turn into doubt and other negative emotions.


This contract is valid for the rest of my life. If this contract is violated, God will reinstate the contract when I decide to return to my original agreement. When I am wrong I must promptly admit it. All work on my end will be demonstrated through my actions. I am to never doubt God. Gods proof will be how I am able to handle all situations that will come my way.

This is my contract, this is my promise.

Tom

Very nice Tom.

God has a contract with us that is eternal.

He will always loves us...even when we fall short.
He will always forgive us... we only need ask and turn from our wrongful ways.
and He will always provide for our every need and at time I find He provides for my wants as well.
His strength shall be our strength...we only need ask for it daily.

I have a little editing to do on this contract but I plan on doing one of two things. I'm either going to go to a office supply store and buy a contract form and write the above, or I'm going to type it up and print it on nice paper. Then regardless which of the two I'm going to do, I'm going to sign it and ask my sponsor to sign it as a witness.
