I am a part of the fellowship of the Unashamed. I have the Holy Spirit Power. 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, 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, chintzy giving, and dwarfed goals.
I no longer need preeminence, 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, learn by faith, love by patience, lift 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 few, my Guide is reliable, my mission is clear. I cannot be bought, compromised, deterred, 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, back up, let up, or shut 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 Christ. I must go until He returns, give until I drop,
preach until all know, and work until He comes.
And when He comes to get His own, He will have no problem recognizing me. My banner will be clear! for “I am not ashamed of the Gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes.. -author unknown(above paragraph)
I fall way short of most of the things on that list...not because I want too but because I let things of the world occupy my time instead of focusing on things that are Gods, I let self in more than I let God.
List of things to do today....for me..Switch seats-let God drive, dont complain about how long the trip takes, or where we stop, or that its too hot, or cold, but that the one driving knows whats going on, and I can relax, and know that God is in control.

A very good post!
It is nice to go back on some threads and read about the good things that God puts in one's heart to share with other's.
This one is really fruitful and to enjoy reading once again, even though it was written sometime ago.
God's blessings!!!
I agree Curley, I love it when the great inspirational posts are called back up for us to renew ourselves...I haven't seen Arguy around lately, but this old post reminds me of his faithfulness..He also has a fabulous sense of humor that can bring fun into an otherwise stressful day
