A great challenge to us Salvos!

I am a soldier in the Army of God.
The Lord Jesus Christ is my Commanding Officer.
The Holy Bible is my code of conduct.
Faith, prayer, and the Word are my weapons of warfare.
I am in this Army by choice, and I am enlisted for eternity.
I will either retire in this Army at the Rapture or die in this Army;
But I will not get out, sell out, be talked out, or pushed out.
I have been taught by the Holy spirit, trained by experience, tried by adversity and tested by fire.
I am faithful, reliable, capable and dependable.
If my Lord needs me in the Sunday School, or to work with the youth, or to help adults, or to just sit and learn:
He can use me because I am there!
I am a soldier.
I am not a baby. I do not need to be pampered, petted, primed up, pumped up, or pepped up.
I am a soldier.
No one has to call me, remind me, write me, visit me, entice me, or lure me.
I am a soldier.
No one has to send me gifts, food, cards, candy or give me handouts.
I am a soldier.
I do not need to be cuddled, cradled, cared for, or catered to.
I am committed!
And I am a soldier.
I am in place, saluting my King, obeying His orders, praising His name, and building His Kingdom.
I cannot have my feelings hurt bad enough to turn me around.
I cannot be discouraged enough to turn me aside.
I cannot lose enough to cause me to quit.
When Jesus called me into His Army, I had nothing.
If I end up with nothing I will still come out ahead.
For I am more than a conqueror.
The devil cannot defeat me. People cannot disillusion me. Weather cannot weary me.
Sickness cannot stop me. Battles cannot beat me. Money cannot buy me.
And Hell cannot handle me.
I am a soldier.
Even death cannot destroy me. For when my Commander calls me from this battlefield He will promote me to glory and there I will rejoice in His presence.
I am a soldier in God's Army and I'm marching claiming victory.
I will not give up, nor turn around.
Here I stand ..... a soldier!
Will you stand with me?
