Analysis of Abundance Meets Need



Prove that your love is genuine,
Prove sincerity of your love;
I speak that you show everyone,
Being true to Jesus thereof.

You know the grace of our Lord,
Even though He was rich in wealth;
He became poor on His accord,
Poverty gave spiritual health.

For this matter benefits you,
Of the desires of the past;
While you are remaining true,
On accomplishments that will last.

So finish doing it well,
Desiring that you complete it;
And in Heaven that you may dwell,
And rewarded for your merit.

For if the readiness is there,
Acceptable accordingly;
Because what the Lord has to share,
Since your work was done diligently.

I mean not others should be eased,
While you were heavily burdened;
But for fairness, God should be pleased,
For the fact, you have been pardoned.

Your abundance supplies their need,
Giving you an ample supply;
And equality to succeed,
To be fruitful and multiply.

Those who gather much leave nothing,
Than gathers little had no lack;
Having sufficient that will bring,
Enough to share that he will pack.

Richard Newton Sherrer

I was born and raised on a farm in Pennsylvania. It was a small family farm that was handed down through 8 generations of Sherrer men until my father; Newton just could not make a living from it any longer. He thought that I would make a better living away from the farm. So, I decided to join the Air Force in 1969 upon graduating from high school. I gained quite a bit of experience and insight on life while in the service. Even though I was only stationed on the east coast of the US, my Air Force career took me to Germany and Korea. After 20 years wearing of the blue uniform, I decided going in a different direction and found myself becoming very diverse in many different fields. Something still seemed missing to me after being separated from the service for about 10 years. The Air Force was a way of life for me, but really missed life in Korea. I found myself changing careers again. Poetry was an interest of his since my days in high school. With returning to the Lord, I felt motivated to write of my Christian beliefs. I started looking at Bible verses and reflecting on my own personal experiences. The Bible was found to be as true today as to when the various books were written. I could see much of what the Bible is teaching us as valid as every in modern time. It felt only natural to me on using his personal experience based on Bible verses and see much of my own life written in the Scriptures. God inspires me what to write about though. I do not claim to be an expert on God or the Bible. I am just a Christian who has become enlightened to write poetic verses from the Holy Scriptures. more…
