My Commitment as a
Disciple
I'm part of the fellowship
of the unashamed. I have stepped over the line. The decision has been made.
I'm 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'm finished and done with low living, sight walking,
small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tamed visions, mundane
talking, cheap loving, 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 by patience, lift by prayer, and labor by power.
My face is set, my gait is fast, my goal is heaven, my road is narrow, my
way rough, my companions few, my Guide reliable, my mission clear. I cannot
be bought, deluded 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, or meander in the maze of mediocrity. I won't give up, shut up, and
let the cause of Christ Go.
I am a disciple of Jesus.
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 will be clear!
