Momentary Affliction

Date:

I believe, so therefore, I speak,
Through faith we have the same Spirit;
We have the same God that we seek,
For what we will inherit.

We know the one who brought the Lord,
Back to life will also bring back;
Everyone who does believe,
In Christ of what they will receive.

He will take us to the Father,
Presenting us within His view;
Posing as sister or brother,
Neither as Gentile or Jew.

All of this will be for your sake,
For as His kindness overflows;
In the lives of many will make,
Thanksgiving to the God that knows.

It will produce more thanksgiving,
Unto the glory of the Lord;
As long as we go on living,
And not letting Him be ignored.

That is why we are not deterred,
Or becoming merely worn out;
From others that maybe differed,
Trying to shed some kind of doubt.

Inside, I am renewed each day,
Suffering is temporary;
Producing light as I obey,
For in an eternal glory.

It is greater than anything,
That you could ever imagine;
Through salvation that it will bring,
From your spiritual ambition.

We do not look for all the things,
That would be able to be seen;
Of the invisible beings,
To the naked eye that have been.

Things you see are temporary,
Unseen things will be forever;
That is powered by the glory,
And will can not ever sever.

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.
