Many of our choices are irreversible - at least when it comes to consequences. There is always grace, but there are still consequences. What we do, when we're young and when we're not as young, matters.

The decisions we make, both good and bad, have a way of effecting our future.

Whether we do something in public or try to hide it in private, God sees all and we will be held accountable for our actions and thoughts.
