The Fellowship of the Unashamed
♥
Sunday, July 26, 2009
I am part of the fellowship of the unashamed.
The die has been cast.
The decision has been made.
I have stepped over the line.
The decision has been made.
I am a disciple of His.
I won’t look back, let up, slow down, or back away, or be still.
My past is redeemed.
My present makes sense.
My future is secure.
I’m done and finished with low living, sight walking, small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tamed visions, worldly talking, cheap giving and dwarfed goals.
I no longer need pre-eminence, 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 by power.
My pace is set.
My gait is fast.
My goal is Heaven.
My road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions are few, but 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 the adversary, 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, stored up, prayed up, paid up, and preached up for the cause of Christ.
I am a disciple of Jesus Christ.
I must go until He comes, give till I drop, preach until all know, and work until He stops me.
And when He comes down for His own, He will have no problem recognizing me.
My banner will be clear.
I am a part of the fellowship of the unashamed.
goodbye.

like a comet
blazing 'cross the evening sky
gone too soon
like a rainbow fading
in the twinkling of an eye
gone too soon
shiny and sparkly
and splendidly bright
here one day
gone one night
like the loss of sunlight
on a cloudy afternoon
gone too soon
like a castle
built upon a sandy beach
gone too soon
like a perfect flower
that is just beyond your reach
gone too soon
born to amuse, to inspire, to delight
here one day
gone one night
like a sunset
dying with the rising of the moon
gone too soon
gone too soon.
