Very thought provoking....what is our banner??

Today, my visiting teaching companion shared this with us. I wanted to share it with you. It's from Pres. Eyring:

"I am part of the Fellowship Unashamed, the dye has been cast out. 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 or slow down. My past is redeemed, my presence makes sense, my future is secure. I am done with the low living, small talking, colorless dreams, tamed visions, cheap giving and dwarfed goals. I no longer need pre-eminence, postions, promotions, or popularity. I don't have to be right, first, recognized, praised, regarded or rewarded. I now live by faith, learn in his presence, walk with patience, am uplifted by prayer and labor with power. My face is set, my gate is fast, my goal is heaven, my road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions are few, my guide is reliabe, my mission is clear. I cannot be bought, compromised, detoured, lured away, divided or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of the adversary, negotiate at the table of the enemy, powder 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 prayed up for the cause of Christ. I must go until He comes, give until I drop, preach until all know, and work until He stops me....and when He returns for his own, He won't have a problem recognizing me. My banner will be clear. The Fellowship of the Unashamed.
