He said\u2026.
\nI am part of the \u201cFellowship of the Unashamed.\u201d The die has been
\ncast. I have stepped over the line. The decision has been made. I
\nam a disciple of Jesus Christ. I won\u2019t look back, let up, slow down,
\nback away, or be still. My past is redeemed, my present makes
\nsense, and my future is secure. I am finished and done with low
\nliving, sight walking, small planning, smooth knees, colorless
\ndreams, chintzy giving, and dwarfed goals.
\nI no longer need preeminence, prosperity, position, promotions,
\nplaudits, or popularity. I now live by presence, lean by faith, love by
\npatience, lift by prayer, and labor by power. My pace is set, my gait
\nis fast, my goal is heaven, my road is narrow, my way is rough, my
\ncompanions few, my Guide reliable, my mission clear. I cannot be
\nbought, compromised, deterred, lured away, turned back, diluted or
\ndelayed.
\nI will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of
\nadversity, negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of
\npopularity, or meander in the maze of mediocrity.
\nI am a disciple of Jesus Christ. I must go until heaven returns, give
\nuntil I drop, preach until all know, and work until he comes. And
\nwhen he comes to get his own, he will have no problem recognizing
\nme. My colors will be clear.
\nSo as we enter our guided prayer today, may the same be true of
\nus.
