In Thy Youth.

Narrator: Chris Genthree
Listen from:
YES! in your youth, in the bright, fresh spring-time of your life, while all is sunny before you, and while you are strong, remember your Creator. Give God your early days, your best days. How many an one has lamented in middle life that he did not give himself up to God in his youth!
“I am brought to God,” said one to us not long since, “but I have one deep regret, I have lived till my hair has grown grey and my strength has failed without Him. O, that I had turned to God in my youth!”
A few months afterwards this man told us he was unable to fulfill his little service in helping on the work of the gospel, as age was telling on him. His heart was sound, but his strength had failed.
“In thy youth—in thy youth.”
“Remember now, thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them.” (Eccl. 12:11Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them; (Ecclesiastes 12:1).)
