Honor Christ

Date:

I will continue to be glad,
For just one very good reason;
No longer a need to be sad,
Because of the joyous season.

I know that I will be set free,
Through your prayers as well as your aid;
Because of the insight you see,
With confidence and not afraid.

But the help comes from the Spirit,
Which is sent by our Lord Christ;
For helping in what you merit,
Keeping you from being enticed.

I eagerly expect and hope,
Having nothing to be ashamed;
From the ridicule that I cope,
With as much as I have proclaimed.

I will speak boldly with honor,
Christ is within now and always;
Think of me not as a goner,
I proceed to worship and praise.

No matter if I live or die,
Christ means everything to me;
And so He is the reason why,
I have a sound insight to see.

When I die I have even more,
As I say this with confidence;
For when Christ opens up the door,
And shows me the inheritance.

If I continue to live life,
My work will produce more results;
While coping in all the strife,
That comes through all of the insults.

I find it very hard to choose,
Do I leave this to be with Christ?
Or do I still spread the Good News?
Letting me become sacrificed.

I will leave it within His hands,
Which way will suit Him for the best;
Honoring God and His commands,
No matter what maybe the quest.

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.
