I got this from a friend (thanks jhoana!) and i want to share it with you, it made me think deeper... This was written by a young man from Rwanda in 1980, the night before he was killed. He was forced by his tribe to either renounce Christ or face death. He refused to renounce Christ and was killed on the spot.
"I'm part of the fellowship of the unashamed, the die has been cast, I have stepped over the line, the decision has been made- I'm a disciple of Jesus Christ. I won't look back, let up, slow down, back away or be still.
My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, my future is secure. I'm finished and done with low living, sight walking, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tamed vision, wordly talking, cheap giving and dwarfed goals.
My face is set, my gait is fast, may goal is heaven, my road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions are few, my guide is reliable, my mission is clear. I won't give up, shut up, let up until I have stayed up, stored up, prayed up for the cause of Jesus Christ.
I must go till He comes, give up till i drop, preach till everyone knows, work till He stops me & when He comes for His own, He will have no trouble recognizing me because my banner will have been clear"
