Make a Gift to God

Helping others is important to maintaining sobriety. A speaker told of the miracle of his recovery. Some of his friends had died in addiction. He said, My sobriety is God's gift to me, and when I work with newcomers, that is my gift to God. What need could He possibly have of any gift from us? Why can't we think of God as being pleased with what we do for Him and enjoying the gifts of His children? The importance of giving something to God is the effect it has upon us -- an expression of gratitude and an indication of how much we value our sobriety.
