I Am A Disciple

I Am A Disciple

The die has been cast. I’m a disciple of Jesus Christ.
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, my future is secure. I’m finished and done with low living, sight walking, small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tamed visions, mundane talking, cheap living 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 faith, lean on His presence, 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 rough, my companions few, my Guide reliable, my mission 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 the adversary, negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity or meander in the maze of mediocrity.  I will not give up, shut up, let up, until I have stayed up, stored up, prayed up, paid up, preached up and stayed up for the cause of Jesus Christ. I am a disciple of Jesus. I must go till He returns, 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 colours are clear. I am a disciple of Jesus Christ.
