“The dye has been cast. The decision has been made. I have stepped over the line. I won’t look back, let up, slow down or back away. My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, my future is secure. I am finished and done with low living, sight walking, small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tame visions, mundane talking, cheap 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 faith, lean on His presence, walk with patience, live 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, turned back, deluded 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, shut up, let up, until I have stayed up, prayed up, stored up, paid up and spoken up for the cause of Christ. “I am a disciple of Jesus Christ. 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 recognizing me. My banner is clear. I am part of the fellowship of the unashamed.â€
