"I am a disciple of Christ. I will not let up, look back or slow down. My past is redeemed and my future secure. I am done with low living, small planning, smooth knees, mundane talking, chintzy giving and dwarfed goals. I know longer need pre-eminence, prosperity, position, promotion or popularity. I don't have to be right, first, tops, recognized, praised or rewarded. My face is set, my goal is sure. My road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions few. My God is reliable, my mission is clear. I cannot be bought, compromised, detoured, delayed, or deluded. I will not flinch in the face of adversity nor negotiate at the table of the enemy or meander in the maze of mediocrity. I am a disciple of Christ. I must go until He comes, speak of all I know of Him, and work until He stops me. And when He comes for His own, by the grace of God, He will have no problem recognizing me, because my colors are clear."
Found as the last diary entry of a martyred missionary in Africa.
