God Knows

December 8, 2015 by Richard Newton Sherrer Leave a Comment

The Good News has made His people,
Enemies because of Him;
But by choosing the Gospel,
They no longer have felt grim.

God never changes His mind,
When He is giving a gift;
Showing that He is so kind,
Heartfelt love that will uplift.

In the past you disobeyed,
Going off the beaten path;
But even though you have strayed,
He has spared you from His wrath.

God is being merciful,
Of your disobedience;
Because you are beautiful,
Tolerating with His patience.

All of you have disobeyed,
But God is gracious to you;
When anything is conveyed,
It will be Christ you go through.

The riches of God are vast,
Wisdom and knowledge are deep;
Since God knows all of your past,
And the dreams thought in your sleep.

It is impossible to,
Explain any decisions;
Or be able to construe,
Understanding His visions.

Who would know how the Lord thinks,
Who would be His advisor;
Nothing that anyone drinks,
Could make them any wiser.

Who would ever give the Lord,
Things expecting in return;
Or just having be ignored,
Or paid back ten-fold to earn

About Richard Newton Sherrer

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.

Who Is My Neighbor? October 1, 2024
My neighborhood, just outside of Washington, DC, has a strong sense of local community. I know the people on our block, and I love bumping into folks—at PTA meetings, sports outings, or the grocery store. My neighborhood has quaint traditions: We celebrate holidays with cookie exchanges. Local groups play music on front lawns in the […]

The Evangelicalism of Jimmy Carter October 1, 2024
When Jimmy Carter spoke about his faith in Christ while campaigning for president in 1976, many evangelicals were ecstatic. No previous presidential candidate had claimed to be “born again” or spoken so openly about his relationship with Jesus. Nor had any welcomed journalists to his adult Sunday school class, which Carter continued to teach even […]
