Let God’s curse fall on anyone, including us or even an angel from heaven, who preaches a different kind of Good News than the one we preached to you. (Galatians 1:8, NLT)

If he is sincerely interested and wants to see you again, ask him to read this book in the interval. After doing that, he must decide for himself whether he wants to go on. He should not be pushed or prodded by you, his wife, or his friends. If he is to find God, the desire must come from within. (Alcoholics Anonymous, page 95) 

Let him go if his chosen path

varies from your own.

You can’t sell God, convince folk

you’ve got God-knowledge, 

that they must take your word.

Don’t claim decoding or the inside ropes

or special knowledge.

Instead state truth, changes in you,

recovery you’ve found.

What others do is none of my business

even when my heart hurts for them,

aches over their decisions.

God, let me live the message,

be the message,

closely enough

others may want what they see

in me.
