Everyone Can't Be In your Front Row

Life is like a theater, so invite your audiences carefully. Not everyone is holy enough and healthy enough to have a FRONT ROW seat in our lives. Thereare some people in your life that need to be loved from a distance. It'samazing what you can accomplish when you let go, or at least minimize your time with draining, negative, incompatible, not-going-anywhere relationships, friendships, fellowships, and even family!Observe the relationships around you. Pay attention to: Which ones lift andwhich ones lean? Which ones encourage and which ones discourage? Which onesare on a path of growth uphill and which ones are just going downhill orjust staying still??? When you leave certain people, do you feel better orfeel worse? Which ones always have drama or don't really understand, knowand appreciate you and the gift that lies within you?The more you seek God and the things of God, the more you seek quality, themore you seek not just the hand of God but the face of God, the more youseek things honorable, the more you seek growth, peace of mind, love andtruth around you, the easier it will become for you to decide who gets tosit in the FRONT ROW and who should be moved to the BALCONY of your life.You cannot change the people around you...but you can change the people youare around! Ask God for wisdom and discernment and choose wisely the peoplewho sit in the FRONT ROW of your life. Remember that FRONT ROW seats arefor special and deserving people and those who sit in Your FRONT ROW shouldbe chosen carefully.Everyone Can't Be in Your FRONT ROW.
