The Grace of God

Date:

The Lord has filled me with joy,
That nobody can destroy;
You show interest in me,
From the insight that you see.

But you did not have a chance,
For showing it to advance;
Not saying of any need,
But effete to succeed.

I have learned to be content,
Far from torture and lament;
Whatever state I am in,
But know I am free from sin.

I may be poor or have wealth,
But still have my spiritual health;
Maybe I hunger and thirst,
But will share with others first.

I have been strengthened through Christ,
For all that was sacrificed;
Who saved me from the rubble,
From the times having trouble.

I do not look for a gift,
Just assistance to uplift;
But resources to increase,
To help with the expertise.

You have been totally paid,
So please do not be afraid;
Any time when things get tough,
Your faith is more than enough.

Gifts are a soothing fragrance,
While glory brings brilliance;
A sacrifice that God is pleased,
As He accepts and appeased.

God will fill every need,
Very richly to succeed;
Through Christ in a splendid way,
While we trust and obey.

Glory belongs to the Lord,
Who we have loved and adored;
Grace and good will be with you,
Remaining faithful and true.

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.
