Elder Henry B.
Eyring
This was given to
me at church yesterday and I fell in love with it! I am going to live by
this motto from now on!
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, colourless dreams, tamed visions, worldly talking,
cheap giving and dwarfed goals.
I no longer nee pre-eminence, position,
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 the adversary, 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, 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.
Because….
My Banner will be clear.
I LOVE this quote! There's so much power in it.
