Faithful Me

Date:

I thank the Lord Jesus Christ,
By putting my faith and trust;
For the time I sacrificed,
Knowing that He has been just.

He appointed me to write,
While giving me the strength;
With the wisdom for insight,
Persisting at any length.

In the past I know I cursed,
Acted arrogantly rude;
But He showed me my true thirst,
Changing my spiritual mood.

He showed me mercy and grace,
Since I was in unbelief;
Kindness feeling His embrace,
Enabled stressing relief.

Brought to faith by His kindness,
Gave me the love that will show;
While curing me from blindness,
That only the Lord would know.

This statement can be trusted,
Deserves complete acceptance;
Saving from what you lusted,
For sinners through penitence.

I am the foremost sinner,
But was treated with good will;
For becoming a winner,
In curing me of my ill.

For as the foremost sinner,
I demonstrate my patience;
To be a new beginner,
And strengthening my conscience.

This patience is a model,
For all those who would believe;
In Jesus and the Gospel,
With salvation they receive.

So worship and glorify,
Of our eternal King;
Never attempt to deny,
The only God that we cling.

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.
