The Book of Lamentations 3:27 tells us,
"It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth."
If your time is spent well,
then you should be building a better future for yourself.
But too many people just waste their time.
They do shameful things.
They throw away their money,
and they have nothing left when they get old.
Stop wasting your life.
Life is not about going to parties and sinful clubs
that don't help you grow as a person.
Remember, it is God who works the hardest
and the most in this world,
and he will work for you
and in you and through you.
If you leave this world without laying a good foundation,
your children will curse you.
God be with you.
