A complete life, altogether beautiful in God’s sight, is one that from earliest childhood to ripest old age does the work of the Lord. To waste the early golden years of youth is to leave a blank that never can be filled. For we have no second chances in life. Says Dr. Geikie: “Some things God gives often; some He gives only once. The seasons return again and again, and the flowers change with the months; but youth comes twice to none.” The same is true of any period of life, any day, any hour; it comes not twice, and its work neglected at the time can never be done.
