Ecclesiastes 12

Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them;…Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.

At the age of 34 I have already lived the strongest of my years.  I regret that I have not loved the Lord with a more fervency.  One day my eyes will dim and body will be weakened  that I should not have any pleasure in those days, I will not have the strength to serve God has I had when I was a teenager.  Though in my later years, my heart is changed and turned towards the Lord, still God will hold into account all that I have lived.

Thank God for the blood of Jesus who cleanses away all shame and transgression.  Yet I wish for the days of my youth to give to God has a sacrifice to His good pleasure.  My son, life God as early as you can and with all your might.  You will not have regrets and burdens.  It is those burdens which make us old. I thank God for you and pray for you to know the love of God.
