Be Receptive to the Truth

A man admitted for his fourth detox was still intoxicated. I told him, Jim, go and sleep it off. I'll talk to you later. After two years of sobriety, Jim told me he thought to himself that morning, I am so drunk, Abe can't even talk to me. He fell to his knees and for the first time said, God, help me now. My comment impacted him because he was receptive to hearing what he had not been able to hear before. We can only pray we are able to see and hear the truth. We also must overcome stubbornness and consider that other's observations might be right.
