JUST FOR TODAY! -- Giving

From "There's Nothing the Matter with Me!"

"AA doesn't need me, but I need AA Very desperately, very sincerely, very humbly.  Not all at once, because you can't get it all at once, just a little bit at a time.  They told me, 'You've got to get out and work a little; you've got to give.'  They told me that giving was living, and living was loving, and loving was God.  And you don't have to worry about God, because He's sitting right in front of your eyes."

Just for Today -- A Daily Devotional

**********************************

We must never error and begin to think that our importance So great that a meeting or the program would fail without us.  What we have to admit is our desperate need for the recovery program and our support group.  Even more so, we have a desperate need and desire for God.  God is right in front of us at all times, sometimes He is shown through the love and support of those in our groups, earthly extensions of His arms.  When we finally realize this truth we realize we have been so blessed with the receiving of His gift of a sober life, we then desire to give back to others, those struggling in their addiction.  We can’t hide this gift, but we become compelled to share this gift.  It is the cycle that we must repeat.  We grow in recovery, we see God’s love in His daily provisions for us, we share God’s love with other hurting folks by giving and then we grow in recovery and closer to God.

“What, after all, is Apollos?  And what is Paul?  Only servants, through whom you came to believe--as the Lord has assigned to each his task.  I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God made it grow.  So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow.  The man who plants and the man who waters have one purpose, and each will be rewarded according to his own labor.  For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, God's building.” -- I Corinthians 3:5-9
