Spark of Faith

The spark of faith in my heart, Ignited my slumbering courage Which Grew to a wild blaze And Consumed every doubt and every obstacle That Existed in my way, Thus Allowed me, my Lord, to achieve the goals, Thee, Had set for me Since The beginning of time! © Demetrios Trifiatis 17 January 2016

Demetrius, Really! inspiring and encouraging!. A nice reminder which i need to hear he has pre-planned our steps. Reading through, I agree I only discovered last year I enjoy writing, I have always had a love of expressing myself in my words but never discovered before last year, but it truly is HIS precious gift to me and all the glory goes to HIM to be used to inspire, encourage others.

We all have to look deep into ourselves to discover the treasures our heavenly father has placed for us to exploit for to glorify Him with our actions. Close your eyes and start a dialogue with yourself and listen to the whispers of His treasures in you, dear Kim. Thank you so much for visiting and commenting!

The problem with you , my friend, Tim, is that you are too...young! Haha! Give it time to reach my age and you will achieve your goals! Thank you my friend for visiting me. Good to see you again!

Yes, it is my friend, Paul! "Whoever goes with faith in his heart in battle, is double armed." said Plato! Any battle in life it requires faith and faith in our Lord is the ultimate form of faith! Thank you!

Oh, I would love that very much, my friend, Miraj! You see, many times I have discussions like that with individuals and with groups. If people wish really to hear and to learn, then, as the saying goes" The lips of wisdom should speak only to the ears of understanding!" and that is my philosophy on the subject! Thank you so much for visiting and commenting. You see my poems, seems to be only for the few! God bless you! Thank you!

My dear, faith was, is and will be my armor! If I had no faith do you think that without father and mother from the age of ten and poor, would have I achieved, whatever I have achieved, anything without His help? Thank you Anne-Lise for your kindness and support!
