The Measure of Love

Date:

I am allowed to do anything,
But not everything is good;
Though the pleasure that it may bring,
Not as what God says that I should.

I am allowed to do anything,
But will not let it take control;
Even though bad habits will cling,
I will not let them in my soul.

My stomach satisfied by food,
But God will satisfy my heart;
Giving me the right attitude,
Awake to a new day to start.

But the body is not for sin,
Since your body is for the Lord;
Sexual urges should not win,
And at all cost should be ignored.

For your body is part of Christ,
With Him you need to become one;
To a harlot not sacrificed,
So save your body for the Son.

If you unify with the Lord,
You become one with His Spirit;
Show that He is loved and adored,
He will give love for your merit.

Stay away from sexual sin,
And other sins do not commit;
Allow purifying within,
Inviting the Holy Spirit.

For your body is a temple,
That is for the Holy Spirit;
Not abused by other people,
For any immoral merit.

For you had been bought with a price,
As to bring glory unto God;
His grace allowed the sacrifice,
So that we could honor and laud.

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.
