I'm gonna be there. I'm not gonna miss it. I'm talking about meeting Jesus and hearing, "Well done, good and faithful servant." (Close your eyes and picture it in your mind.) I will do whatever it takes. I will be filled with the Holy Spirit and continue to be filled. (Ephesians 5:18) I will lay off the sin that so easily entangles. (Hebrews 12:1) I will believe like the Bible says to believe. (John 3:16) I will trust in, cling to and rely on the Lord Jesus to save and keep me. I will commit Scripture to memory. I will meditate on God's Word and actively pursue it's application in my life. (Matthew 4:4) I will do what's right even when it's not popular or convenient to do so. I will worship in the secret place and not for the applause of men. (Matthew 6:5-6) I will endure persecution, ridicule, rejection for His great name. (Lord, help me, too.) I will suffer for the Gospel's sake. (Philippians 3:10) I will submit to the loss of finances and the insecurity that can bring (but I am more than secure in Christ). I will meet people's needs as I would my Lord's. (Matthew 25:35-36) I will be the last man standing. With me? (Picture of the 1944 landing at Omaha Beach in the public domain:
