Faith

Date:

Faith assures us of things,
Convinced as we expect;
To what the future brings,
And God will not neglect.

The existence of things,
Impossible to see;
To the heart that it clings,
Knowing it has to be.

Because of faith we feel,
Of things we cannot touch;
But we know they are real,
The sense they are as such.

Faith convinces us that God,
Had created this place;
At first it was not flawed,
Through His Word and His grace.

This means what can be seen,
Was made by what is not;
All that has ever been,
As spiritually sought.

But some only believe,
In a visual sense;
Of what they can receive,
To touch and hear as hence.

Faith leads to sacrifice,
When seeking approval;
Please God and not think twice,
About sin removal.

Faith lets you be taken,
To see your just reward;
Never be forsaken,
By the one and true Lord.

Faith will lead you to heed,
Warning of the future;
Finding solutions you need,
Enduring the torture.

Faith leads you to obey,
When called upon by God;
So you no longer stray,
As you honor and laud.

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.
