I am a part of the fellowship of the unashamed. I have the Holy Spirit's power. The die has been cast. I have stepped over the line. The decision has been made. I am His. I won't look back, let up, slow down, back away or be still. My past is redeemed. My present makes sense. My future is secure. I am finished with low-living, sight walking, smooth knees, colorless dreams,tamed visions, worldly talking, cheap giving and dwarfed goals. I no longer need preeminence, prosperity, position, promotions, or popularity. I don't have to be right, first, tops, recognized, praised, regarded or rewarded. I now live by faith walk by patience, am uplifted by-prayer, and I labor with His power. My face is set, my gait is fast, my goal is heaven, my road is narrow, my way rough. My companions are few, my guide reliable, my mission clear. I cannot be bought, compromised, detoured, lured away, turned back, deluded or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity, or meander in mediocrity. I won't give up, shut up, or let up, until I have stayed up, stored up, prayed up, and preached up for the cause of Christ. I am a disciple of Jesus. I must go till He comes, give till I drop, preach till all know, and work till He stops me. And when He comes for His own, He will have no problem with recognizing me- my banner will be clear. I challenge you to take this to work put it where you can see it. Read it as many times a day as you can. Some people might look at it and say, "Who's that suppose to be?" You can tell them "It's me, and I apologize if this isn't the way I have always acted, but from this day forward this is who I am." Then start living like a child of God. |
