“It is a wonderful thing to be alive! If a person lives to be very old, let him rejoice in every day of life, but let him also remember that eternity is far longer, and that everything down here is futile in comparison. Young man, it‘s wonderful to be young! Enjoy every minute of it! Do all you want to; take in everything, but realize that you must account to God for everything you do.” Ecclesiastes 11: 7-9 (Living Bible)
Many choices are irreversible–they will stay with you for a lifetime.. What you do when you are young does matter. Enjoy life now, but don’t do anything physically, morally, or spiritually that will prevent you from enjoying life when you are old.
Think about your actions before you act. Let this be your daily prayer: “Let the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable in Thy sight, Oh Lord, my strength and my redeemer.” Psalms 19:14.
When your words are chosen carefully and your heart is pure, your actions will follow. Your decisions will be acceptable to your Heavenly Father and when you are old, you can look back on your past and smile.
Have a blessed day!
In Christian love,
