there is controversy about who wrote this, but i really like it nonetheless.
i am part of the fellowship of the unashamed.
i am part of the fellowship of the unashamed.
the die has been cast.
the decision has been made.
i am a disciple of jesus.
therefore, I won’t look back, let up, slow down, back away, or be still.
my past is redeemed. my present is empowered. my future is secure.
i’m done with low living, sight walking, small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tamed visions, mundane talking, cheap giving, and dwarfed goals.
i no longer need preeminence, prosperity, position, promotions, praise, or popularity.
i don’t have to win, be first, be right, recognised, regarded or rewarded.
i now live by faith, lean on His presence, love with patience, live by prayer, and labor with power.
my goal is God's glory.
my face is set.
my pace is fast.
my road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions are few, my guide is reliable and 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 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, let up or slow up until i have stayed up, stored up, prayed up, paid up, and spoken up for the cause of Christ.
i must go until he comes, give until I drop, preach until all know, and work until He stops me.
Christ has qualified to become a part of the fellowship of the unashamed.
i am His and He is mine.
