Hiding Nothing

Date:

Enter not His place of rest,
For those who have never heard;
Since they have not done their best,
In adhering to the Word.

But some will enter that place,
For they have heard the Gospel;
And have fallen in His grace,
Spreading it to the people.

Those who have heard the Good News,
Cannot enter since they stray;
Still living with earthly views,
Causing them to disobey.

So God set another day,
Many years after you failed;
Which happens to be today,
For curing what you have ailed.

If you hear God start to speak,
Be not stubborn and ignore;
Pay attention as you seek,
His Word to search for the cure.

A time of rest does exist,
And it is not forbidden;
If agony will persist,
For life nothing is hidden.

A time for rest and worship,
For all people of the Lord;
To build your relationship,
Show He is loved and adored.

There is rest for the weary,
Time to rest for your labor;
A time to become cheery,
Fellowship with your neighbor.

So we must make an effort,
To enter that place of rest;
And we should never divert,
As we proceed in this quest.

The Word of God is living,
Sharper than a two-edge sword;
Allows time with forgiving,
Making amends with the Lord.

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.
