Ecclesiastes 11:9 Be happy, but be warned

"You who are young, be happy while you are young, and let your heart give you joy in the days of your youth. Follow the ways of your heart and whatever your eyes see, but know that for all these things God will bring you into judgment." God gives us the freedom to experience the joys of life, but with that freedom comes responsibility. Do not be negligent and take for granted God's goodness. Do not make the mistake and confuse this goodness with approval of all you do. It is wise to remember that your end may come before the end times. Not knowing when that will be, one should always be mindful of the consequences of their decision and the judgment that results from each one of them.
