Betrayed

Date:

Tell slaves, who are believers,
Adhere unto their master;
Being overachievers,
Making each day go faster.

Tell them to attempt to please,
Not argue or steal from them;
The master will be at ease,
And He will not condemn.

So if the slaves have obeyed,
The master sees how loyal;
A reward will be conveyed,
Everything they toil.

Then they will show the beauty,
Everything God has taught;
The slave has done his duty,
All that the master has sought.

God and His saving kindness,
Has been for the benefit;
Of all and that God will bless,
Each one equally for it.

It disciplines to avoid,
All the worldly desires;
Before your life is destroyed,
The ungodly acquires.

We can live disciplined lives,
That are moral and godly;
So that when Jesus arrives,
We are considered holy.

We can expect what we hope,
The coming of the Savior;
Until then we must still cope,
And Christ blesses with favor.

Do not make Him feel betrayed,
Envious for the good deeds;
Rather His law be obeyed,
So He will give you your needs.

God gave Christ to set us free,
From the sin and make us clean;
And be zealous what we see,
What is now and what has been.

Tell these things to believers,
Encourage and correct them;
Not to hear the deceivers,
That God will surely condemn.

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.
