Hot Trials

Date:

Be glad when you are tested,
Endure any temptation;
It shows God has invested,
More into your salvation.

Testing faith grows endurance,
To be a new creation;
Giving you the assurance,
To endure through duration.

You are able to mature,
While you become complete;
Enables you to ignore,
Temptations causing the heat.

If you maybe need wisdom,
Call upon the Lord in prayer;
He will send from His Kingdom,
Enough in order to share.

God is generous to all,
He does not find fault with you;
To pick you up when you fall,
Comforting you to get through.

When you ask for anything,
Do not ever have a doubt;
Doubt causes your faith to bring,
Your trust in having a drought.

One who doubts should not expect,
Anything back from the Lord;
Your requests He will reject,
Since your prayers have been ignored.

One who has doubts is thinking,
Of more than one thing at once;
His mind winds up by sinking,
And could turn into a dunce.

Humble believers are proud,
For humble is essential;
They always look for the cloud,
As they remain spiritual.

Rich believers like a seed,
That bloom into nice flowers;
But they will wither with greed,
In the afternoon hours.

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.
