" SELFLESS MAN " MY PHOTO, ©

Man's Greatness

A man,
 
Cannot achieve greatness in the 

Eyes of our Lord,

Unless 

Selfless and just he becomes in

All of his ways!

Demetrios, such true words you have penned. I am reminded of the words of John the Baptist "I must become lesser than he become greater". Congratulations on your POTD, my friend, this was a joy and a blessing to read ~ John

True, my friend, Tom! Unfortunately, we humans are reluctant to follow the indicated path thus we are lost on the way, and as a consequence, we put ourselves in trouble! Thank you so much for visiting and commenting!
