Oath of a Man

On this day, I make an oath before God, myself and my brothers.
I choose to find my identity in God, not in the world, in another person
or in the works of my hands.
I will not shy away from God's calling in my life;
neither will I try and fulfill my calling in my own strength.
I will instead be led and influenced by Holy Spirit.
I will not seek to fulfill my needs with the things of this world;
but in every area I will be completely dependent on God.
I choose to be a man of purity and integrity in all areas of my life no matter the cost.
I choose to be a man after God's heart, not only after his blessing.
I will not be overcome with fear,
but I will exercise the authority and power God has given me with wisdom and love.
As a man I choose to live my life to these standards.
In accomplishing everything that I've just said I choose to make Jesus my role model.
Like him I will "act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with God"- Micah6:8

Did you write this? I really like it. I would like to copy this for my grandsons if possible. (I work with your mom in Africa...)
