Practicing the Presence of People, quote 2

"Religious types are always asking, 'What is God saying?' But what are people saying? Once I confronted a well-known Christian leader with his alcoholism. He wouldn't listen. He said that before he'd believe me, he'd have to hear it from God. Meanwhile his wife as telling him how much she hated his drinking; his children were telling him; other friends were telling him; and I was telling him. But no, he was waiting to hear it from God. Relationships--even bad ones--speak loud and clearly. Listen to them."
