Humility

Date:

I must brag, but is not good,
For my visions from the Lord;
Revelations as I should,
Never letting be ignored.

For a follower of Christ,
And that had been snatched away;
Some years ago sacrificed,
His life humbled to obey.

I know not if it occurred,
Fleshly or spiritually;
But know that he knew the Word,
And would tell factually.

I know he was snatched away,
To paradise where he heard;
No darkness, just light of day,
Cannot be expressed in word.

I will not brag on my own,
Unless it is of weakness;
Since God does never condone,
Since it shows not your meekness.

I would never be a fool,
For trying to be uncouth;
By breaking His golden rule,
Rather only tell the truth.

I am going to spare you,
So that no one may think more;
What you hear that you construe,
Telling a deceptive lure.

Keep me from the conceit,
A problem as forced to deal;
Because I try to defeat,
Satan and all of his zeal.

But Jesus Christ and His grace,
Will be all I want and need;
Power for strength what I face,
Enabled for to succeed.

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.
