What Does the Lord Expect

The appropriateness of our actions, the Lord

Expects from us to see


Not


The eloquence of our masterfully constructed

Verses, He to hear!

There are some poets who possess talent yet their arrogance outpaces their ability. I see no merit in what they have to say, for their work is a celebration of self and teqnique. What use is talent when there is no love? Actions truly do speak louder than words. You are a man of both heart and talent.

Demetrios Trifiatis

February 10, 2015 at 8:15 AM

Thank you, Richard, for your kind words! A man of God as you are, easily can understand the message conveyed!

Yes, my dear sweet poet. You are right. God knows our hearts...and no matter what we do or write, we should seek to please Him. I know this in my heart. Bless you

Demetrios Trifiatis

It is so nice to receive your visit and your gracious comment my dear friend, Eileen. I appreciate when someone understands the message conveyed! God bless you!
