Whatever It Takes!


My father-in-law sent this to me a while back. I haven't researched it to find out where it came from, but it's fantastic. It perfectly illustrates what should be the attitude and mindset of every Christian. Hope you enjoy it. Talk to you later.

I am committed to doing whatever it takes. I have Holy Spirit power. The die has been cast. I have stepped over the line. I am out of my comfort zone. The decision has been made. I am a disciple of His. I won't look back, let up, slow down, or back away. My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, and my future is secure. I am finished and done with low living, sight walking, small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tame visions, mundane talking, tiny giving, and dwarfed goals. I no longer need preeminence, prosperity, position, promotions or popularity.

I don't have to be right, first, recognized, praised, regarded, or rewarded. I now learn by faith, love by patience, lift by prayer, and labor by power. My face is set, my faith is fast, my goal is heaven, my road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions are few, my Guide is reliable, and my mission is clear. I cannot be bought, compromised, detoured, lured away, turned back, diluted or delayed. I will not finish 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 mediocrity.

I won't give up, shut up or burn up until I've preached up, prayed up, paid up, stored up, and stayed up for the cause of Jesus Christ. I am a disciple of Jesus. I am going to hang on, hunker down, hug tight and go where He wants to go and let Him take me there. And when He comes to get his own, He'll have no trouble recognizing me because I have committed my life to doing whatever it takes.
