A Fragile Gift

Date:

God gives seed to the farmer,
Food to those who need to eat;
To the soldier gives armor,
And the shoes upon his feet.

God will also give to you,
The seed and multiply it;
As He shows all that is true,
Blest by the Holy Spirit.

In your lives He will increase,
The things with His approval;
That you do to give you peace,
After the sin removal.

Confession is for the soul,
As God makes you rich enough;
If you let His Spirit control,
Even when the times are tough.

Then you can be generous,
Which will produce thanksgiving;
To the Lord because of us,
In harmonious living.

What you do to serve others,
Not only provides the needs;
For your sisters and brothers,
But a means to sow more seeds.

It also creates more prayer,
Of thanksgiving to the Lord;
Showing others that you care,
And how much God is adored.

You will honor God through this,
Genuine act of service;
Just as when two lovers kiss,
For the first time so nervous.

For your commitment to spread,
The Good News of Jesus Christ;
Shows you do not fear to tread,
In places where sacrificed.

Deep affection you will pray,
In thanking God for His gift;
While you trust and obey,
Getting a spiritual lift.

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.
