I was going through a bunch of stuff I kept from my younger years and this was a very old email I held on to. I thought I'd share it with you.
______________________________________________
Called To Active Duty:
I have been taught by the Holy Spirit, trained by experience, tried by adversity, and tested by fire.
I am a volunteer in His army, and I am enlisted for eternity.
I will either retire in His army at the rapture or die in His army, but I will not get out, sell out, or be talked or pushed out!
I am faithful, reliable, capable, and dependable; if God needs me, I am there. If He needs me in Sunday school to teach children, work with the youth, help adults, or just sit and learn, He can use me because I am there.
No one has to cuddle me, cradle me, or cater to me, I am committed; I cannot have my feelings hurt badly enough to turn me away. I cannot be discouraged enough to turn me aside and I cannot lose enough to cause me to quit.
When God called me into His army, I had nothing, if I end up with nothing, I will still win.
My God will supply all my needs.
I am more than a conqueror; I will always triumph! I can do all things through Christ!
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,
governments cannot silence me,
and Hell cannot handle me.
I am a soldier! Even death cannot destroy me, for when my commander calls me from this battle field, He will promote me to captain and then bring me back with Him.
I am a soldier in God's army, and I'm marching, claiming victory!
I will not give up.
I will not turn around.
I am a soldier, marching heaven bound.
Here I stand,
Will you stand with me?
If you've accepted Christ as your Savior, you've already enlisted. The question is:
Are you on...
...Active Duty - Serving the Lord faithfully each day on duty 24-7?
...Reserve Status - Serving only when called upon or twice a year at Christmas and Easter?
---Guard Status - Backing up the active duty group?
or
... AWOL - Absent without the Lord?
