Giving to Jesus

Date:

What causes quarrels and fights,
Caused by selfish desires;
The red appears in your sights,
Gleaming ember from fires.

You want what you do not got,
Then get a license to kill;
Determined for what you sought,
For a desire to fill.

So you quarrel and you fight,
But you never pray for them;
The wrong reason flexing might,
Your own pleasure will condemn.

Loving pleasure is evil,
In a world with hate towards God;
Rather worship the devil,
That thinks the Lord is a fraud.

If Satan would be your friend,
Then you are opposing God;
And you are nearing the end,
Being incurably flawed.

God opposes arrogance,
But is kind to the humble;
Confessing their allegiance,
He ensures you not stumble.

Place yourself under the Lord,
As you resist the devil;
Showing that God is adored,
Godly pleasures will fulfill.

Clean your life and clear your mind,
Stop being as a sinner;
Doubt not in Scripture you find,
For becoming a winner.

Be miserable and cry,
Turning your joy into gloom;
Never to be asking why,
His Spirit will help you bloom.

Humble yourself in His sight,
He will be exalting you;
Making your future look bright,
As long as you remain true

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.
