My friend, you might think that this young man's story is sad. Indeed it is. But I'm gonna tell you this...he didn't waste his life! To receive Jesus Christ and have Him in your life as your Lord and personal Savior is the greatest and most important decision you'll ever make. Our life here on earth is very short. It is only a mist or vapor compared to eternity! Don't you think it's worth it to do things that have eternal value? Yes. Even it may cause your very own life!
Fellowship of the Unashamed
I am a part of the fellowship of the
Unashamed. I have the Holy Spirit
Power. 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 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, chintzy giving, and dwarfed goals.
I no longer need preeminence, prosperity, position, promotions, plaudits, or
popularity. I don't have to be right, first, tops, recognized, praised,
regarded, or rewarded. I now live by presence, learn by faith, love by
patience, lift by prayer, and labor by power.
My pace is set, my gait is fast, my goal is Heaven, my road is narrow, my
way is rough, my companions few, my Guide is reliable, my mission is clear.
I cannot be bought, compromised, deterred, lured away, turned back, diluted,
or delayed. I will not flinch 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, back up, let up, or shut up until I've preached up, prayed
up, paid up, stored up, and stayed up for the cause of Christ. I am a
disciple of Jesus Christ. I must go until He returns, give until I drop,
preach until all know, and work until He comes.
And when He comes to get His own, He will have no problem recognizing me. My colors will be clear.

Indeed its a great joy and a privilege on my part to share to you the gospel of Jesus Christ. I praise God for this opportunity that He gave me and most of all, for the salvation that He has given to those who believe in his Son. It is my prayer that God would be merciful to you and that He would save you from His wrath which He prepared to the devil and his angels.
May His grace be with you.
