Notes From a Martyr
New Page 1
A
young man martyred in
Africa
left these notes in his room
which
were found by friends after his death.
“I
am part of the fellowship of the unashamed. The die has been cast. 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, slow down, back away, or be still. My past is
redeem
ed, my present makes sense, my future is secure.
“I’m
finished and done with the low living, sight walking, smooth knees, colorless
dreams, chained visions, worldly talking, cheap giving and warped goals. My face
is set, my gait is fast, my 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, paid up for
the cause of Jesus Christ.
“I
must go til He comes, give til I drop, preach til everyone knows, work til He
stops me. And when He comes for His own, He will have no trouble recognizing me
because my banner will have been clear.”
