"Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness?... Therefore 'come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean and I will receive you. I will be a Father to you, and you shall be My sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty." ~ 2 Corinthians 6:14, 17-18
After receiving this email from a friend the other day, I knew I had to share this with you. It's very straight forward and to the point, so I don't want to say too much.
But as you read, remember the following:
1. You are the company you keep. So, choose your friends wisely.
2. There may be people in your life right now who are simply not meant to go where you are going. They are toxic and will only hinder your progress. LET THEM GO! NOW! God can only give you ALL that He has in store for you when you realize this. Not everyone is meant to travel with you on your journey.
God bless,
J.W.

Everyone Can't Be in Your Front Row
Life is a theater – invite your audience carefully.
Life is a theater – invite your audience carefully.
Not everyone is spiritually healthy and mature enough to have a front row seat in our lives. There are some people in your life that need to be loved from a distance.
It's amazing what you can accomplish when you LET GO, or at least minimize your time with draining, negative, incompatible, not-going-anywhere relationships/friendships/fellowships!
Observe the relationships around you. Pay attention to:
Which ones lift and which ones lean?
Which ones encourage and which ones discourage?
Which ones are on a path of growth uphill and which ones are going downhill?
When you leave certain people, do you feel better or feel worse?
Which ones always have DRAMA or don't really understand, know and appreciate you and the gift that lies within you?
The more you seek growth, peace of mind, love and truth, the easier it will become for you to decide who gets to sit 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 you are around!
Just because no one has shown up who can love you on your level, doesn't mean you sink to theirs!
Ask God for godly wisdom and discernment and choose wisely the people who sit in the front row of your life.

ReplyDeleteThanks for reading and responding.
ReplyDeleteFor most of us this is a hard place to get to, but it is so worth it when we arrive. Life truly will be better, our spirits are lighter and more free when we let go of the hindering factors in our lives, even if it's those that we think we cannot let go of. During this time of a fresh new year and era, we all need to check our audience and see who needs to be let go and who may need to be elevated. Thank yor for sharing this with us.
