I can give you life, but I can’t
live it for you.
I can give you instructions, but I
can’t tell you where to go.

help you protect it.
I can teach you the difference
between good and bad, but I can’t make the decision for you.
I can give you advice, but I can’t
accept it for you.
I can give you love, but I can’t
force you to receive it.
I can teach you to share, but I
can’t stop you from being selfish.
I can teach you to respect, but I
can’t make you be respected.
I can counsel you about your
friends, but I can’t choose them for you.
I can teach you everything you need
to know about sex, but I can’t make you act responsibly.
I can talk to you about drinking,
but I can’t say ‘no’ or ‘just one’ for you.
I can warn you about drugs, but I
can’t stop you from using them.
I can talk to you about having
important goals, but I can’t achieve them for you.
I can teach you about charity, but
I can’t make you be generous.
I can pray for you, but I can’t
make you walk with God.
I can talk to you about how to
live, but I can’t give you eternal life.
