Life is a Theatre: Who’s In Your Front Row?

I received this poem in an e-mail and just had to share. I am not taking credit for any of the words in this poem. I think with Fall/Autumn: The Season of Transition, some people need to be encouraged. I know that I am in a transitional period and God is working on my character to make me a stronger person. After reading this, I found a new perspective on the situations in my life, so I hope this is helpful to you as well.

Life is a Theatre, Invite your Audience Carefully

Life is a theater so invite your audiences carefully. Not everyone
is worthy of having 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 and family!

Everyone Can’t be in Your FRONT ROW

Observe the relationships around you.
Pay attention to: Which ones lift and which ones lean?
Which ones encourage and whice ones discourage?
Which ones are on a path of growth uphill and which ones are just
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?

Everyone can’t be in Your FRONT ROW

The more you seek God and the things of God, the more you seek
quality, the more you seek not just the hand of God but the face of
God, the more you seek things honorable, the more you seek
growth, peace of mind, love and truth around you, 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.

Everyone can’t be in Your FRONT ROW

You cannot change the people around you….but you can change
the people you are around! Ask God for wisdom and discernment
and choose wisely the people who sit in the FRONT ROW of your
life. Remember that FRONT ROW seats are for special & deserving
people and those who sit in your FRONT ROW should be chosen
carefully.
Everyone Can’t be in Your FRONT ROW!!!
