With all diligence and prayer, we all need to be taught how to build your character on a solid foundation. Many people make serious mistakes just because they don't listen to the instructions of people who have been through the school of life experiences.
They neglect the advice of parents and teachers and succumb to the temptation of the enemy. God loves young people. He knows that they have great talents for good and he expects them to feel their need for Christ and to build on a solid foundation. He also knows their sorrows and experiences. He knows that they will face a fight against the powers of darkness, seeking to take control of their conscience. He opened the way for boys and girls, through which they can become participants in the divine nature ...
The character is not accidental. A manifestation of intemperance and a step in a false direction have not yet formed a character. Only repeated action becomes a habit and forms an evil or kind character.
A noble character is raised only through persistent and tireless efforts in multiplying talents and talented abilities in the glory of God.
Instead, many allow themselves to move with the flow according to their feelings and circumstances. This is not because they need material wealth, but because they do not understand what God expects of them in the best time of their youth, the best works.
If today's youth wanted to be persistent and courageous they would try to maintain their spiritual strength at the highest level. The Lord does not want them to remain disciples all the time. He wants them to be perfect. He wants them to go up to the highest step of the ladder that leads to the Kingdom of God.
Young people who leave home and are no longer under the supervision of their parents are often forced to choose their own friends.
In schools you can always meet young people whose minds are on a low channel. Through inept parenthood in childhood, they acquire a one-sided character. Over the years, the shortcomings of his education are constantly manifested in his actions. By their example and behavior, they negatively affect those who do not have sufficient moral strength in themselves.
Time is the most precious of all treasures. Do not waste your strength on loud amusements, so as not to endanger your soul. Don't be frivolous when choosing comrades.
Borrow only from the nobles of others, and this noble will become a moral force in you capable of resisting evil and choosing good.
Set a high goal. Your parents and teachers, who love God and walk in fear of God, can pray for you day and night and can beg and warn you, but all their prayers will be in vain if you choose frivolous friends as your companions.
If you don't see real danger and believe that you can do good and evil as you see fit, then you won't notice how gradually the yeast of anarchy will corrupt your mind.
