 But cannot live it for you. I can give you directions, But I cannot be there to lead you. I can allow you freedom, But I cannot account for it. I can teach you right from wrong, But I cannot decide for you. I can offer you advice, But I cannot accept it for you. I can give you love, But I cannot force it upon you. I can teach you to share, But I cannot make you unselfish. I can teach you respect, But I cannot force you to show honor. I can advise you about friends, But cannot choose them for you. I can advise you about sex, but I cannot keep you pure. I can tell you about drink, But I can't say "no" for you. I can warn you about drugs, But I can't prevent you from using them. I can tell you about setting goals, But I can't achieve them for you. I can teach you about kindness, But I can't force you to be gracious. I can pray for you, But I cannot make you walk with God. I can tell you how to live, But I cannot give you eternal life.
