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 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 preeminence, positions, promotions 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 penance, am uplifted by prayer and labor with power. My fate 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 the adversary, negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity, or meander in the mass of mediocrity. I won't give up, shut up or let up until I have stayed up and paid up for the name of Christ. I must go on until he comes, give 'til I drop, and work until He stops me; and when He returns for His own.....He will have no problem recognizing me. MY BANNER WILL BE CLEAR.
We all must make the decision. Will you be a disciple of Jesus Christ? Will he recognize you when He comes again? IS YOUR BANNER CLEAR? If you didn't answer yes, do something about it.
PROFITE DE ZILE.
