What I am!... You can be too!

"I am part of the fellowship of the unashamed. The dye 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 or be still. My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, and my future is secure. I'm finished and done with low-living, small planning, smooth knees, color less dreams, tamed visions, worldy talking, cheap giving, and dwarfed goals. I no longer need pre-eminence, positions, promotions, plaudits, or popularity. I don't have to be right, first, recognized, praised, regarded, or rewarded. I now live by faith, lean on his presence, walk with patience, am uplifted by prayer, and labor with power. My face is set, my gait is fast, my goal is heaven. My road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions are few, my guide is reliable, my mission is clear. I cannot be bought, compromised, detoured, lured away, divided, 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 mediacy. I won't give up, shut up, or let up until I have stayed up, stored up, and paid up for the cause of Christ. I must go till he comes, give till I drop, preach till all know and work till he stops me. And when he returns for his own, he will have no problem recognizing me. My banner will be clear."

Can I say I love this Guy?!?! He just summed it up... I have not been what I can be! I. have. been. slacking. But because of Christ, I can change... We all need help. Nobody is perfect... Even the people who are perfect need help!
 God is SoOoO good! He knew! He knew I needed Him, He knew I needed Christ! He. Knows. Me. and I know it! 
I am changed! God knew I needed to read that quote. The spirit testified to me! I be be that person! I want my banner to be clear!
