Firm Believer in Christ

Firm Believer in Christ
The decision has been made,
the dye has been cast,
and I have stepped over the line.

As a disciple of Christ,
I will no longer look back, let up,
slow down, back away, or be still.

My past is redeemed,
my present makes sense,
and my future is secure.

I'm finished with low living,
sight walking, worldly talking,
cheap giving, and tamed visions.

I no longer need preeminence,
prosperity, position, promotions,
power, or popularity.

I don't have to be right,
recognized, praised,
regarded, or rewarded.

I now live by faith,
walk in victory,
and labor in love.

The road before me is narrow and rough,
but His commission is undeniable,
thus my mission is 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 enemy,
pander at the pool of popularity,
or meander in the maze of mediocrity.

I won't give up, shut up, let up,
until I have prayed up, praised up, paid up,
and spoke up for my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

I am a Christian,
an Unashamed Firm Believer in Christ!

I am with you Always

I am with you always,
Never have a fear,
When you feel the most alone,
Remember I am here.

I have cried as you have cried,
Many times before,
I have had a broken heart,
Yes, and so much more.

I have known betrayal,
Of the cruelest kind,
So sweep away the bitterness,
And put it from your mind.

And let us walk together,
Though the twilight's glow,
For I have felt as you do now,
Dear child, I know ... I know.

I am with you always,
You are not alone, My love for you is endless,
Because you are My own.

And through your darkest hours,
You will find Me near,
Nor will your crosses ever be,
Too great for you to bear."
