Freedom from Suffering

Date:

I consider that suffering,
Is insignificantly compared;
To the glory of buffering,
Will soon to be revealed and shared.

All creation eagerly waits,
For God say who His children are;
When we are walking through the gates,
Each of us holding a bright star.

Creation has been subjected,
To confusion and frustration;
Not by choice being neglected,
Rather did so within the hope.

So it would be also set free,
From slavery that would decay;
If we follow in His decree,
While we honor and obey.

We can share glorious freedom,
That the children of God possess;
Through the Lord and His wisdom,
Giving confidence He will bless.

All creation has groaned with pain,
Of childbirth through present time;
We keep going through stress and strain,
Before starting to make the climb.

We have the Spirit as the first,
Gift from God through the adoption;
Freeing us from the lustful thirst,
That causes rot and corruption.

We are saved with having this hope,
In our minds for what we see;
What we do not see we must cope,
Until the day we are set free.

The Spirit helps our weakness,
Since we do not know how to pray;
But will be able to bless,
When our pleas can never stray.

The one who searches in your heart,
Knows what the Spirit has in mind;
For giving you a brand new start,
While being humble and kind.

Richard Sherrer is actually retired from the United States Air Force about 14 years ago. He had lived in Korea while in the Air Force in 1972 and 1973. You might be asking yourself what brought him back to Korea. I guess you could say that it was a lot of love here, for the country, the people and especially for a Christian woman that he met on the Internet. She convinced him to return to be with her. So he came originally to teach English in July of 2000. They were married July of 2001. Now turned poet which is subject that is near and dear to his heart. His love for Christ and God is an inspiration to all who read his poetry.
