The decision has been made: I am a disciple of Jesus.
My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, and my future is secure. I am finished and done with low living. I no longer need preeminence, prosperity, position, promotion, 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 face is set, my gate is fast, my way is rough, my companions few, my Guide reliable, and my misson clear.
I cannot be bought, compromised, or lured away. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate 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, or burn up 'til I've preached up, prayed up, paid up, stored up, and stayed up for the cause of Jesus Christ.
I am a disciple of Jesus.
I MUST go 'til he comes, GIVE 'til I drop, PREACH 'til all know, and WORK 'til He stops.
And when He comes to get His own, He'll have no problem recognizing me, because I have dedicated my life to be a part of the body committed to do whatever it takes.
