The Disciples Charge

I'm a part of the Fellowship of the Unashamed...
The die has been cast, 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, back away or be still...
My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, my future is secure...
I'm finished: I'm done with low living, side walking, small planning, smooth
knees, colorless dreams, tame visions, mundane talking, chinsy giving, or dwarf goals...
I no longer need pre-eminence, prosperity, position, promotions, platitudes or popularity...
I don't have to be right, first, tops, recognized, praised, regarded or rewarded...
I now live by presence, lean by faith, 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 is rough, my companions few, my God reliable, my mission clear...
I can not 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, meander in the maze of mediocrity...
I won't give up, shut up, let up until I've stayed up, stored up, prayed up,
paid up, preached up for the cause of Christ...
I am 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 problem recognizing me, my colors are clear,
No Excuses.
