I saw this quote on my sister's wall and wanted to share it. It is an empowering message to all of us. May we echo this declaration in our actions each day.
"I am part of the fellowship of the unashamed. The dye 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, or be still. My past is redeemed,
my present makes sense, and my future is secure. I'm finished and done with low
living, small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tamed visions, worldly
talking, cheap giving, and dwarfed goals. I no longer need pre-eminence,
positions, promotions, plaudits, or popularity. I don't have to be right, first,
recognized, praised, regarded, or rewarded. I now live by faith, lean on His
presence, walk with patience, am uplifted by prayer, and labor with power. My
face is set, my gait is fast, my goal is Heaven. My road is narrow, my way is
rough, my companions are few, my guide is reliable, my mission is clear. I
cannot be bought, compromised, detoured, lured away, divided, or delayed. I will
not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of the adversary,
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, shut up, or let up untiI
have stayed up, stored up, and paid up for the cause of Christ. I must go until
He comes, give till I drop, preach till all know, and work till He stops me. And
when He returns for His own, He will have no problem recognizing me. My banner
will be clear."
