The Fellowship of the Unashamed!
I
am part of the "Fellowship of the Unashamed". 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, colorful dreams, chintzy giving and
dwarfed goals.
I
no longer need pre-eminence, prosperity, position, promotions,
plaudits, or popularity. I now live by presence, lean 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 are few, my guide reliable, my
mission 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 my enemy, ponder at the pool
of popularity, or meander in the maze of mediocrity.
I
am a disciple of Jesus Christ. I must go until heaven 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.
I am
not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Romans
1:16
