God against Me

Date:

My complaint is bitter today,
I try hard to control my sigh;
Even though I trust and obey,
No answers for questioning why.

If I just knew where to find God,
I would go to the place He lives;
I stopped not to honor and laud,
And find out all the objectives.

I would just like to plead my case,
But I never like to argue;
Plead for mercy on His grace,
An explanation to construe.

I desire to know the word,
Letting me know what I did wrong;
Because His voice I have not heard,
So agony does not prolong.

What are the charges against me?
For I need to plan my defense;
An acquittal to set me free,
Because it is my first offense.

I cannot find where I do go,
To the north or south or the west;
He is not there since He does know,
My thoughts when He gives me a test.

My thoughts and actions are pure gold,
And I follow in His footsteps;
Always doing what I am told,
To the letter I do my preps.

I have stayed and followed His path,
For I did not detour or stray;
Since I want to be spared His wrath,
So I will still trust and obey.

I have treasured Him in my heart,
Because God is one of a kind;
And His Word will never depart,
They are engraved within my mind.

So how can God be against me,
For His wonderful Word of life;
Always caused the darkness to flee,
Keeping me free from any strife.

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.
