Desired Growth

Date:

During His life on earth,
Jesus Christ prayed to God;
Who taught Him from His birth,
How to honor and laud.

He could save Him from death,
Christ prayed pleaded with tears;
For after the last breath,
The events brought on the fears.

He was heard all because,
Of devotion to God;
For His duteous clause,
Kept Him from being flawed.

Though Jesus was the Son,
He learned obedience;
Through the suffering done,
Built up His confidence.

After His work was done,
He then became the source;
And salvation was won,
To those who stayed the course.

Since you are too lazy,
For paying attention;
Explaining is crazy,
To know the intention.

Now you should be teachers,
Rather than I teach you;
Becoming out=reachers,
Instead of a world view.

I need to feed you milk,
Rather than solid food;
Diapers instead of silk,
For such an attitude.

You are still like infants,
Lacking experience;
And even like tyrants,
Lacking self-confidence.

Solid food is for those,
Who are mature people;
All of the ones God chose,
For knowing the Gospel.

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.
