Kindness

Date:

You need to be quick to listen,
Do not anger but slow to speak;
So you are able to glisten,
While you continue to seek.

An angry person does not do,
The things that God would approve of;
Remembering always be true,
While showing others your love.

Rid all immoral behavior,
Along with all those wicked things;
Humbly accept Christ as Savior,
And the salvation that He brings.

You must be doers of the Word,
Not merely as hearers only;
So take action what you have heard,
Remaining righteous and holy.

If anyone is a hearer,
But does not do what it would say;
Will not bring God any nearer,
Since they do not trust and obey.

They are merely like a person,
And sees their face in the mirror;
The wrinkles begin to worsen,
As many scars become clearer.

He studies a scaring feature,
Then he started to walk away;
Forgetting about a teacher,
That had taught him never to stray.

Those who continue to study,
Exactly what the Lord had taught;
Why Jesus Christ was all bloody,
And just what conclusion was sought.

Perfect teachings that make people,
Free and will remain committed;
To Jesus Christ and the Gospel,
So that they will be acquitted.

Pure and unstained, tongue in control,
For kindness is your best witness;
As His Spirit cleanses your soul,
To uphold spiritual fitness.

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.
