Ecclesiastes 11:8

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

⁷ How sweet is the daylight, and how pleasant it is for someone's eyes to behold the sunshine! ⁸ Even if a person lives many years, let him enjoy them all, recalling that there will be many days of darkness to come all of which are pointless. ⁹ So enjoy yourself in your youth, young man, and be encouraged during your younger days. Live as you like, consistent with your world view, but keep in mind that God will bring you to account for everything.
