A life of commitment,
given to Him Who gave His;
to preach the good news,
so all might live
A life’s dedication, answering a call,
given to some to help draw one & all
A purposed direction, living & sweet,
to guide & enrich, to help bring to His feet
In daily study & prayerfulness,
giving one’s time in all faithfulness;
comforting, gathering, instructing, admonishing,
A life lived like this is just so astonishing!
As He said to His apostles who gave of their all,
you’ll receive more than this in this life & here after
Rejoice in your calling & pray for your strength
He’s coming real soon & you’ll receive rank!

Author notes
Mt 10:7 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Mt 10:14 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.
Mt 10:27 What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.
Mt 19:29 And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for My name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.
1Co 16:13 Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men [or strong women!], be strong.
Eph 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Master, and in the power of His might.
2Ti 2:1 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in The Christ Yahshua.
Personally, I can't even begin to imagine being 'ordained' as a preacher. I'm a Music Minister, who's primarily now ministering via the Web & battling demons all the time in my life & striving to speak the truth in love to those who are drawn to me who are contrary to His Word! Being a Disciple of The Christ is an arduous task & I pray for your peace & strength in your walk with Him.
