Our youth is a special season in our life. We have more vigor, passion, enthusiasm, strength, and energy than at any other period of our existence. We can attempt things at this stage of our life that we will be unable to try when we are older. Our youth is a magical season for us to enjoy.
Some people squander their youth. They are in too great of a hurry to grow up and get a job or start a family or advance up the corporate ladder. These misguided people bypass the reservoirs of joy that awaited them to enjoy with youthful zeal. Our youth is meant to be a time of exploration, dreams, and laughter. It ought to be filled with wonderful memories.
Yet we must heed one caution. While God intends for us to enjoy our youth, He also plans to hold us accountable for what we did in it. It is easy to become consumed with the passion of the moment and to forget that we will one day stand before Christ’s throne to give an account of what we did.
So enjoy each stage of your life to the full. But keep in mind you will one day be talking with God about what you did!
