FJWL_01:326
         (Dad:) I plead with you to be prayerful, to be sober, to be vigilant, to grow up! Now is the time to no longer be children, but to be strong young men and women, those who can carry a big load in the Spirit, those who can be trusted. Now is the time to grow up, kids! I've taught you and trained you all that I could, and I continue to plead and reason with you from Here in Heaven.
         Now is the time to put away childish things and to embrace the Words which the Lord has given me for you. Now is the time to become a man or to become a woman. Put away childish things! Flee youthful lusts and put away frivolous and foolish things!
         And by all means, put away envying and strife from among yourselves, comparing yourselves one with another, which the Scripture says is not wise. Get your eyes on Jesus! Get your eyes on the goal!
         You're great kids and you're all Heaven-bound! The whole Family is going to Heaven! You're on your way to the Promised Land! So be sure to stay on board! Don't allow the Enemy to trip you up and get you off track. Grow up into what God has trained you for and has made you to be! Fulfill the purpose for which He has created you, and you'll be right in the center of His will, going for Him!
         Do it, kids, for my sake, for Jesus' sake, for the sake of your brothers and sisters, for your parents who love you so, and great shall be your reward! You're great kids and God has a lot of great things in store for you, so keep going for Him. I love you! (ML #3054).
