I am a
part of the fellowship of the unashamed. I have the Holy Spirit power. The dead
me has been cast out. I have stepped over the line. The decision has been made.
I am a disciple of jesus christ. I wont look back, let up, slow down, back
away, or be still. My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, and my future
is secure. I am finished and done with low living, sight walking, small
planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tame visions, mundane talking, showy
giving, and dwarfed goals.
I no
longer need pre-eminence, prosperity, position, promotions, plaudits, or popularity.
I dont have to be right, first, tops, recognized, praised, regarded, or
rewarded. I now live by presence, learn by faith, love by patience, lift by
prayer, and labor by power.
My pace
is set, my gait is fast, my goal is heaven, my road is narrow, my way is rough,
my companions few, my guide is reliable, my mission is clear. I cannot be
bought, compromised, deterred, lured away, turned back, diluted, or delayed. I
will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of
adversity, negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of
popularity, or meander in the maze of mediocrity.
I won’t
give up, back up, let up, or shut up until ive preached up, prayed up, paid up,
stored up, and stayed up for the cause of christ. I am a disciple of jesus
christ. I must go until he returns, give until i drop, preach until all know,
and work until he comes.
And when
he comes to get his own, he will have no problem recognizing me. My colors will
be clear for "i am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of
god for the salvation of everyone who believes." (romans 1:16)
