Consider This

The Father gave us His love,
Because He loves us so much;
It is flowing from above,
As He gives His gentle touch.

For you are His dear child,
Because that is what we are;
Created tender and mild,
Shining brightly like a star.

The world does not recognize,
You being as His child;
Since the Father they despise,
Because they are defiled.

What we are is not yet clear,
We do know when Christ appears;
You are able to revere,
Knowing He will dry the tears.

So all who have confidence,
That in Christ, keep themselves pure;
Will have built up their defense,
Their heart will remain secure.

The ones who live sinful lies,
Are disobeying our Lord;
They are wolves in a disguise,
His commandments are ignored.

You know that Christ has appeared,
In order to discard sin;
Allowing us to be cleared,
If we start to discipline.

You will not go on sinning,
If you are living in Christ;
And your life will be winning,
No longer being enticed.

Those who continue to sin,
Has never seen or known Christ;
They never have discipline,
Blocking from being enticed.

Let not anyone deceive,
About what the Lord approves;
If confessed you will receive,
Sinful past His Spirit removes.

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.

His love for Christ and God is an inspiration to all who read his poetry.
