Forgive and Forget

Date:

The Word of life lives since the start,
That has been of God from the heart;
We have heard it and we have seen,
What is here now and what has been.

We have observed as well as felt,
The existence where we have dwelt;
Because of this life has revealed,
What some claim a mystery sealed.

We have seen it to testify,
Which many would rather deny;
Eternal life has been exposed,
Because the Father has disclosed.

This is life we have seen and heard,
That has been spoken in the Word;
Starting a new relationship,
In the blood of Christ that you sip.

A relationship through the Son,
To the Father being as One;
Along with the Holy Spirit,
Who ensures what you inherit.

I write being filled with the joy,
That Satan can never destroy;
A message heard from Christ to you,
Sealed with the love that remains true.

God is light and darkness is not,
Where the truth able to be sought;
You lie if you live in the dark,
If God is where you may embark.

But if you do live in the light,
You have favor within His sight;
After confession of your sin,
Forgiveness cleanses you within.

You deceive yourself if you doubt,
And know not what truth is about;
But if you confess what you did wrong,
You will stay spiritually strong.

God is faithful and will forgive,
So you can eternally live;
When you have the faith to believe,
You will be able to receive.

If you say that you never sinned,
Then you have not been disciplined;
And are calling God a liar,
You go to the Lake of Fire.

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.
