I
am a part of the fellowship of the Unashamed. I have the Holy
Spirit
Power. The die has been cast. I have stepped over the line. The
decision has
been made. I am a disciple of Jesus Christ. I won't 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, chintzy giving, and dwarfed goals.
I no longer need preeminence, prosperity, position, promotions,
plaudits, or
popularity. I don't 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 I've 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.."
