I wish i could take credit for this poem but i can’t. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do!!
My commitment as a Christian
I’m part of the fellowship of the unashamed. I have the Holy
Spirit Power. The dye has been cast. I have stepped over the line. The
decision has been made. I’m a disciple of His. I won’t look back, let
up, slow down, back away, or be still. My past is redeemed, my present
makes sense, my future is secure. I’m finished and done with low
living, sight walking, small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams,
tames visions, mundane talking, cheap living, 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 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 dear. 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, stared up,
prayed up, paid up, preached up for the cause of Christ. Iam 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 problems recognizing me- my banner will be clear!!
