This Gift

Date:

I must brag although not good,
About visions of the Lord;
Because I do as I should,
By staying in one accord.

As a follower of Christ,
Who was snatched up away;
Committed and sacrificed,
Proceed to trust and obey.

This not only had happened,
As far as spiritually;
God only knows how enlightened,
As I am physically.

I know I am a person,
Snatched away to paradise;
Hearing from the Holy One,
The one that had paid the price.

It cannot be stressed in words,
For humans to understand;
But spoken in the standards,
That God has made His demand.

But I will not brag about me,
Unless it is on weakness;
Showing the human you see,
That has been filled with meekness.

I would never be a fool,
By not telling you the truth;
And knowing the golden rule,
Of never being uncouth.

I am going to spare you,
That no one could ever think;
Anything that is not true,
That I would try to hoodwink.

What you see or hear of me,
Because of revelation;
Remember Christ sets you free,
By giving you salvation.

His kindness is all you need,
Power for when you are weak;
Enable you to succeed,
No matter what you may seek.

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.
