Guiding Love

February 25, 2016 by Richard Newton Sherrer Leave a Comment

Look at what kind of love,
The Father has given;
And blessings from above,
Flowing down from Heaven.

For He loves us so much,
Each one as His child;
Though we have sin as such,
It is reconciled.

So that is what we are,
And called children of God;
Who has healed each scar,
If we honor and laud.

The world does not realize,
Or recognize the Lord,
They think the Bible lies,
As warnings are ignored.

So just what we shall be,
Is not completely clear;
It is what we will see,
When Christ does reappear.

We will be just like Him,
Something we know for sure;
Full of spiritual vim,
To be as Christ is pure.

Those who live sinful lives,
Are disobeying God;
And when Jesus arrives,
Judge them for being flawed.

Those who keep on sinning,
Have not seen or known Christ;
And will not be winning,
Since they are so enticed.

Those who live within Christ,
Do not go on sinning;
For pleasures sacrificed,
Will be the ones winning.

His guiding love will win,
When willing to comply;
It helps to avoid sin,
Since it does not apply.

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.

Which Church in Revelation Is Yours Like? October 10, 2024
Revelation is often interpreted out of context based on current concerns and fearful speculations about the end times. But after a study trip to Turkey—and years of teaching Revelation at my local church in Rome and for conferences—I have come to realize how contextual the book is. Throughout Revelation, John of Patmos uses powerful imagery […]
