I want it to be said of me that I was one who:
overthrew kingdoms, ruled with justice and kindness, received the fullness of God's promises for my life, shut the mouths of lions, quenched the violence of fire [and emerged from it completely unscathed but not unscarred], escaped death by the edge of the sword, out of weakness was made strong, put whole armies to flight [Hebrews 11], was tireless in battle, remained strong and immovable even in the face of the greatest dangers, loved relentlessly and fearlessly, lived for the hidden treasures of wisdom and knowledge, held firmly to the Word of Life, had eyes set on the invisible city that was to come, repaired breaches, restored homes, redeemed broken lives, released dreams, built bridges, leapt over walls, performed the impossible, fought for the widowed and the oppressed, provided shelter for the homeless, food for the hungry, transported the realities of heaven to earth, kept a pure heart, a clear conscience and genuine faith [1 Timothy 1:5], lived to preserve and expand upon the knowledge of God, gave up my life for the glory of God and the fulfillment of His purposes, overflowed with joy and peace, created an atmosphere of freedom by carrying the bread of God's presence, reconciled the hearts of men to the very heart of God, walked in obedience and unity with God, was a treasured possession of God, knew and was known by God, and was a lover of God above all else.
