Very Great Promises

Date:

The divine power of God,
Giving us everything;
So you must honor and laud,
And thank Him what He will bring.

What we are needing for life,
Has been through His godliness;
And comforting through the strife,
Free flowing with blessedness.

For this power was given,
To us through the knowledge of;
The Blessed One in Heaven,
Whose integrity is love.

Through glory He has given,
Promises of high value;
Through these you share in Heaven,
Integrity that is true.

Through promises you will share,
Love in the divine nature;
You escaped the sin through prayer,
Lusts foreign to a new creature.

So make every effort,
By adding integrity;
Inside your faith to insert.

That will add to your knowledge,
Giving you more self-control;
Which your heart will acknowledge,
His Spirit is in your soul.

This will add endurance,
Which will lead to godliness;
Giving you perseverance,
Received through His blessedness.

It gives Christian affection,
Which will add brotherly love;
Protecting from affliction,
By your enemies thereof.

You know then Christ is living,
And is productive within;
Since His love is forgiving,
Cleansing all of your past sin.

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.
