Front Row or Balcony?

"He who walks with the wise grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm." Proverbs 13:20

"Life is a theater, invite your audience carefully." (Thank you Mike Lecates for the inspiration and quote.)

There are people who should not be sitting on the front row of our lives; they belong in the balcony. When we observe the relationships around us we realize that some people completely drain us. Some greatly encourage us while others completely discourage us. Some are growing in their relationship with God while others are moving away from God. Some lift us up while others take us down. We cannot change the people around us, but we can change the people we are around. Lord, grant us the guidance and discernment to choose wisely those whom we allow to sit in the front row of our lives.
