I want to offer some encouragements to my children and others that show signs of wanting to live right.
You may not be highly esteemed in this world’s eyes, but you are in the Lord’s, and my sight.

You can be assured that making correct choices in your youth will help you to always be able to stand.
The Lord will make a way for you as you seek to please him, and he is a debtor to no man.

Seek to be an example to those coming up, and make sure your actions give others no cause for your youth to despise.
You will be kept from many uncomfortable situations, by not taking heed to the great deceiver’s lies.

You have been afforded an unusual opportunity to actually attain to the best life that God has to offer.
Make sure you take advantage of this most precious gift with a single eye, and not refuse his generous proffer.

I’m most thankful for being allowed to be a part of your lives it is a very blessed situation.
It fills my heart with joy, for I know something of the kindness of God, and overflows me with adoration.

I pray that you will go on in the Christian life, not listen to this world’s lies for a few pleasures of sin.
If you will just pay the price now by casting down the old man, you will reap many times over and over again.

David in the bible behaved himself wisely in his youth, and look, how mightily the Lord used him.
You will have giants that you must face and slay in your life also it is inevitable that you must face them.

There is no need to fear though you have none other than the Mighty Captain of the host that will go with you to fight.
He will ever be present with you either as a cloud, by fire, or when the path seems dark he will be your light.

The bible says when your father and mother forsake you, make no mistake, one day we will, the Lord will take you up.
Feasting at his table will be much more nourishing than mine, as daily at his table you are able to sup.

I am jealous over you with Godly jealously, for I’ve been down roads I don’t ever want you to travel on.
God’s way is perfect if you will set your affections on him he will make sure to lead you safely home.
