Ecclesiastes 11:8

Enjoy Life To The Fullest Within The Auspices Of The Fear Of God

⁷ Truly the light is sweet, and it is a pleasant thing for the eyes to behold the sun. ⁸ Indeed, if a man should live many years, let him rejoice in them all, and let him remember the days of darkness, for they will be many. Everything that is to come will be futility. ⁹ Rejoice, O young man, in your youth. Let your heart cheer you in your early days. Walk in the ways of your heart, and in the desires of your eyes. Yet you know that God will bring you into judgment for all these things.
