Approach God

Date:

You get rid of a dream,
At the time you wake up;
Though as real as to seem,
As coffee in your cup.

To get rid of the thought,
Ask the Lord when you wake;
In your prayer as you sought,
As to never forsake.

Bitterness fills the heart,
Your mind seized with envy;
Overnight you impart,
Evil dreams to enjoy.

Immoral and stupid,
You did not understand;
Things that God does forbid,
That thoughts and dreams demand.

Like a dumb animal,
Being in His presence;
Repent of the dreadful,
Such ungodly essence.

But always with the Lord,
As He holds your right hand;
He is loved and adored,
Obeying each command.

With His advice to guide,
In the end God will take;
To glory as you bide,
For He will not forsake.

As long as you have Him,
No one else you will need;
Only joy never grim,
God helps you to succeed.

Your body and your mind,
May soon waste and decay;
But stay humble and kind,
As you trust and obey.

Those who are far will die,
Being near to God is good;
Your refuge where you lie,
Helping you as you should.

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.
