Fellowship of the Unashamed

       I am a part of the “fellowship of the unashamed.”  I have Holy Spirit power. The dye has been cast. I’ve stepped over the line. The decision has been made. I am 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 and my future is secure. I am finished and done with low living, sight walking, small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tame visions, mundane talking, chincy 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 Presence, lean by faith, love 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 is rough, my companions few, my Guide reliable, my mission clear. I cannot be bought, compromised, detoured, lured away, turned back, diluted or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of adversity, 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 or burn up until I’ve preached up, prayed up, paid up, stored up and stayed up for the cause of Christ.
        I am a disciple of Jesus. I must go till He comes, give till I drop and preach till everyone knows.
        And when He comes to get His own, He’ll have no problem recognizing me…my colors will be clear.
          I am His!
