Be strong and of Godly courage

To stand as I am is the order of this little moment. Poised at the precipice of adulthood, and nourished with the preparation of the gospel of peace, I am the child of the God of Abraham and Isaac and Israel. The Messiah of the world died to cover my sins before I was even born. He knew all that I would do, and yet sacrificed himself in the fullness of His love for me. Seeing so pure a love as this, what manner of man shall I be but one who lives in gratitude for the opportunity to be here in this place in time and space. After all, there are many who did not get this far because for them the Day of the Lord has already occurred. I walk in the grace of my Lord's joy. Though others may attempt to take the credit or usurp His authority, my heavenly Father is responsible for my breath and my being. All glory and honour to The Lord, my God, through Jesus the Messiah. Amen
