Sweet Scent

Date:

The Lord gave me a chance,
For spreading the Good News;
So others can advance,
Having the right to choose.

I did not have the peace,
Having the peace of mind;
Enmity does not cease,
And unable to find.

I say good-bye to them,
Continue on my way;
Allow God to condemn,
They continue to stray.

But I will thank the Lord,
Who leads in victory;
If when in one accord,
Not contradictory.

So wherever we go,
God has us to make clear;
Love continues to flow,
As long as we revere.

What it means to know Christ,
A fragrance fills the air;
That will keep us enticed,
Since He is just and fair.

We are the aroma,
Of Christ such a sweet scent;
Feeling that is prima,
After you do repent.

Among those who are saved,
And those who are dying;
Are no longer enslaved,
That sin is denying.

To some people we may,
Be a deadly fragrance;
For pleasure they will stray,
Darkness is their flagrance.

At least we do not go,
Selling an impure Word;
Only truth what we know,
As spoken what you heard.

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.
