I can...and I Cannot

I gave you life
But I cannot live it for you.
I can teach you things
but I cannot make you learn
I can give you directions
but I cannot always be there to lead you.
I can allow you freedom
But I cannot account for it.
I can take you to church
But I cannot make you believe.
I can teach you right from wrong
but I cannot always decide for you.
I can buy you beautiful clothes
but I cannot make you lovely inside.
I can offer 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 be a friend
but I can't make you one.
I can teach you respect
but I can't force you to show honor.
I can teach you to share
but I cannot make you unselfish.
I can advise you about your friends
but I cannot choose them for you.
I can tell you the facts of life
but I cannot build your reputation.
I can tell you about drink
but I cannot say NO for you.
I can warn you about drugs
but I cannot prevent you from using them.
I can tell you about lofty goals
but I cannot achieve them for you.
I can warn you about your sins
but I cannot make your morals.
I can love you as a child
but I cannot place you in God's family.
I can pray for you
but I cannot make you walk with God.
