Today I am stepping across the line. I'm tired of waffling and I'm finished with wavering,I've made my choice, the verdict is in, and my decision is irrevocable.I'm going God's way. There's no turning back now!I will live the rest of my life serving God's purposes with God's people on God'splanet for God's glory. I will use my life to celebrate his presence, cultivate hisCharacter, participate in his family, demonstrate his love, and communicate his word.Since my past has been forgiven, and I have a purpose for living, and a homeawaiting in heaven, I refuse to waste any more time or energy on shallow living,petty thinking, trivial talking, thoughtless doing, useless regretting, hurtfulresenting, or faithless worrying. Instead I will magnify God, grow to maturity,serve in ministry, and fulfill my mission in the membership of his family.Because this life is preparation for the next, I will value worship over wealth,"we" over "me", character over comfort, service over status and people overpossessions, position, and pleasures. I know what matters most and I'll give it allI've got. I'll do the best I can with what I have for Jesus Christ today.I won't be captivated by culture, manipulated by critics, motivated by praise,frustrated by problems, debilitated by temptation, or intimidated by the devil. I'llkeep running my race with my eyes on the goal, not the sidelines or those runningby me. When times get tough, and I get tired, I won't back up, back off, backdown, back out or backslide. I'll just keep moving forward by God's grace. I'mSpirit-led, purpose driven and mission-focused so I cannot be bought, I will notbe compromised, and I shall not quit until I finish the race.I'm a trophy of God's amazing grace so I will be gracious to everyone, grateful foreveryday, and generous with everything that God entrusts to me.To my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, I say: However, Whenever, Wherever, andWhatever you ask me to do, my answer in advance is yes! Wherever you lead andwhatever the cost, I'm ready. Anytime. Anywhere, Anyway.Whatever it takes Lord;Whatever it takes! I want to used by you in such a way, that on that final dayI'll hear you say, "Well done, thou good and faithful one. Come on in, and let theeternal party begin!"
