Cheating God

Date:

The Lord will never change,
And we are descendants;
As it might seem so strange,
In being dependants.

We have not been destroyed,
Although we turned away;
Flaws having been deployed,
Since we have gone astray.

But how can we return,
When a person cheats God;
How could we ever learn;
How to honor and laud.

Because I feel cheated,
Though I am cheating Him;
Since I feel defeated,
Which makes me feeling grim.

I know I did not bring,
Contributing my pay;
So a curse that would cling,
For the tithe on Sunday.

See if an open door,
To test me in this way;
If I walk on His shore,
After going astray.

Or will His blessings flood,
Delighted with the wine;
Through the flow of His blood,
In the drink from the vine.

I have used some harsh words,
And spoke against the Lord;
But I have starving herds,
And feel He has ignored.

But on that special day,
He will make possession;
As I repent my way,
Stopping my obsession.

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.
