Unashamed!

Hello Friends. We are at the end of November, a month of Thanksgiving for all of what God has done for us this year.. I know many of you are beginning preparations for Christmas if you hadn't already started. I myself will be centering a lot on the birth of Christ with some on traditions of the Christmas season for the month of December in this blog. And I will be starting on that tomorrow. Today, however, I am going to reprint something that a fellow co-worker had given me years ago, at our job. At the time, we had been told by the "higher ups" that we were not to be talking about religion to the women we were in the care of. The funny part of that was, that all 4 of these ladies came from some kind of religious background and would openly talk about it to us! So we weren't sure where the new rule came from unless some of the staff were complaining. No one ever said. At any rate, the following is what prompted this Christan lady and friend of mine, to print this off for me. I ran across it in some papers I was going through the other day and wanted to share it with you.


I am 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'm a disciple of Jesus and I won't look back, let up or slow down, back away or be still. My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, my future secure. I am finished and done with low living, sight walking, small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams, famed visions, mundane talking, cheap giving, and dwarfed goals. I no longer need preeminence, prosperity, position, promotion or popularity. I don't have to be right, first, tops or recognized, praised, regarded, or rewarded. I now live by faith, lean on his presence,
walk by patience, live 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, but my guide is reliable and my mission is clear. I cannot be bought, compromised or detoured, lured away, turned back, deluded or delayed. I will not flinch in the way of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of the adversary, negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of the popularity, or meander at the maze of mediocrity. I won't give up, let up or shut up' 'til I've stayed up, stored up, prayed up, paid up, and preached up for the cause of Christ. I'm a disciple of Jesus and I must go 'til he comes, give .til I drop, and preach 'til all know and work 'til he stops me, and when he comes for his own, he will have no problem recognizing me because my banner will be clear.
