When I was younger,
to all, I must admit
unto worldly lusts . . .
I often did submit.
It use to be fun,
to go out and play
so much temptation
out there on display.
At times, I thought,
how could this be right?
But, in the darkness . . .
who can spot the light?
Looking back I can see,
what a mess I made . . .
for all those fun times
oh, how I have paid.
Now that I am older,
I’m on the narrow way
from its straightness
I pray never to stray.
So, to all the youth,
take this to heart
into worldly lusts . . .
don’t even start!
~~~~~~~~
Mark 4:19
“And the cares of this world,
and the deceitfulness of riches,
and the lusts of other things entering in,
choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.”

Deborah Ann – chuckling here!
“don’t even start!”
I am hearing a younger me fire back: “Why should you have all the fun – and we don’t get to do it all?”

I hear you Paul 🙂 and I didn’t really do all the fun things that so many other’s were doing . . . but, looking back . . . my mind was not focused on what God wanted me to do, nor where my real treasure was stored, nor growing in the fruit of the Spirit, nor in the reaping what you sow etc. So, although it may not be fair, I thought it was a good suggestion albeit most likely not heeded! ~ Blessings ~
