Would you drive on a trip with a spare tire on flat? NO! It’s holding up space for a tire that would be helpful. The flat spare would be extra baggage (dead weight) on your journey & leave you stranded. That’s how negative minded (so called) “friends” are. They’ll ride with you on your life’s journey, but when you’re feeling flat or need encouragement, they are negative minded, argumentative, nonsupportive & will leave you stranded. You can’t have them in your life just to say you have somebody in your life, when they’re not contributing (depositing) anything good into your life. When the road side assistance (God) inform you that your spare is flat, ACCEPT IT! Allow Him to replace the useless spare with a fully air tire (good quality people) so you can travel safely on the road in life. Be blessed!
