Cannot Take It Back

Date:

You indeed are called to be free,
But turn not into an excuse;
For your corrupt nature can see,
The ways and means for an abuse.

Rather serve each other with love,
Following what Moses had taught;
Love your neighbor just as above,
Through the guidance of God is sought.

If you criticize each other,
As you attack with bad insults;
Try not to destroy your brother,
You might get some dreadful results.

Live with a spiritual nature,
Allowing God to direct you;
For living as a new creature,
Letting His glory to shine through.

What your corrupt nature would lack,
Is contrary to what God states;
And you never can take it back,
Once you have opened up the gates.

There are some obvious effects,
When a corrupt nature displays;
For how the attitude it affects,
Mind control as it disobeys.

I have told you back in the past,
And will be telling you again;
The corrupt nature will not last,
For earthly pleasures that have been.

People who do these kind of things,
Will not inherit His Kingdom;
For the false promises it brings,
Will fulfill them with no wisdom.

But the spiritual nature gives,
Kindness to test our patience;
The love, joy and peace each one lives,
Sets you up in a new precedence.

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.
