Ways to Look

Date:

I cried loudly unto the Lord,
For opening His ears to hear;
I did not want to be ignored,
Knowing that He had to be near.

On that day, I was in trouble,
I went to the Lord for His aid;
And finding myself as humble,
But being a little afraid.

Yet my soul I could not comfort,
I sigh as I remember God;
As my hope begins to divert,
Because of having been so flawed.

I am thinking of Him so much,
Because He has opened my eyes;
While feeling His gentle touch,
Seeing through an evil disguise.

But I was not able to speak,
Which was making me so upset;
Because I was feeling so weak,
What I had desired to get.

I considered the days of old.
Back in time from years long ago;
Of stories my father had told,
On ways to look that God will show.

I remembered a song that night,
Reflect on things to discover;
Opportunities with insight,
That God answers and no other.

Will God reject me forever?
Or accept me the way I am;
I do not want Him to sever,
Rather a sacrificial lamb.

It just is making me feel sick,
That the power of the Most High;
No longer seems to be as quick,
And it just makes me wonder why.

But there are opportunities,
Meditate on the ways to look;
Confessing the impurities,
To be omitted from His Book.

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.
