The gifted man

The Voice of a wordless blessings

In a distant mangrove forest, there lived a free-spirited man, whose presence was nothing short of a blessing.

He possessed the rare ability to connect with people effortlessly. From the very first encounter hearts were always drawn to him, as though the earth bond with him right from existence.

Whenever he spoke in the neighbourhood, his voice carried warmth and wisdom. His words do not merely reach the ears; they touched hearts and settle gently in their mind. As a result of these charming duo, he was deeply valued and greatly respected by all who knew him.

Even in the world of business, fortune seemed to favour him. Profits compounded in abundance, flowing endlessly like water in the sea. It was as if, grace walked beside him every step he took.

From Apolema town, he had gathered many greatminds who followed his vision faithfully, trusting his ideas with the same tenderness and certainty like a mother would care for her child.

At times, he stood amazed at how far he had come and all he had accomplished despite having only school leaving certificate as the education he acquired. Yet, beyond every effort and achievements, there was something greater at work in his life.

He barely uttered prayers, but grace continued to speak on his behalf.

Deep within him, a calm voice constantly whispered:

You're favoured by your lord

This is your divine gift, to speak

with wisdom and attract greatness

So with a heart full of humility, he remained ever grateful, continually appreciating God for immeasurable blessing bestowed upon him.
