Notes About The Poem

" EARTH AND HEAVEN " MY PHOTO, ©

God and Man V

God 
is the only perfect being 
thus 
He is characterized, among other things,
by  
the absence of needs!

Man
being imperfect has many wants
thus
if Man wishes to approach God *
must first 
minimize the plethora of his wants!

* "Be thou perfect as thy father in 
heaven is perfect." Matthew 5:48

Jenish Somadas April 4, 2020 at 12:25 AM Wonderful..An omniscient God knows all our needs.. Then why plea? Takecare Demetrios.. Demetrios Trifiatis April 4, 2020 at 11:48 AM In order to understand the point go to Matthew 5:48 Jenish Somadas April 4, 2020 at 9:55 AM It is debatable.. What I tried to convey is if HE is omniscient, then HE knows our mind, whether it is greedy or worthy.. I think I totally lost your point..lol.. Demetrios Trifiatis April 4, 2020 at 1:59 AM Certainly you have missed the point! Do you mean that HE knows our needs for a Lamborghini, a villa on the beach and of our vacations on exotic islands? Man has created unnecessary needs. Take care dearest Jenish! Thank you for the visit! Hugs xxx

Tom Cunningham April 3, 2020 at 12:35 PM Wise words, we all like nice things and we sometimes forget how insignificant these things are. It takes dark times for people to realise that having a fancy car or a mansion doesnt really mean much. What matters is your faith in God and love for family and friends. Stay safe. Tom Demetrios Trifiatis April 3, 2020 at 1:59 PM Thank you for your precious visit and comment. Yes, we should minimize our needs and try to put emphasis on the spiritual man. This is my point as well my friend . Take care and blessings!
