she raises her voice in the open squares.
She cries out in the chief concourses,

She speaks her words.”

The death of the once famed ‘Apraku My Daughter’ can teach us some lessons about life and living it. I didn’t know the man personally nor did I really know the ins and outs of his ministry.

A wholehearted trust in God is more secure than a wholehearted trust in man. Why? Because man has the potential to fail you but God will never fail. I was listening to the story of David in the Bible.
