I would like to dedicate this book to my three children. Adwoa, Afua, and Kwame, you have been my greatest blessings and inspiration. Over the years I have watched you grow in wisdom, maturity, and responsibility. I am very proud of you! I pray that you will continue to keep the faith. And may the Lord bless your lives and bring you into the fulfillment of your divine calling and destiny.
My heart is overflowing with a good theme; I recite my composition concerning the King; My tongue is the pen of a ready writer.
—Psalms 45:1

Foreword
As our journey with the Lord moves forward in time, His special way of delivering blessings and words in due season becomes more apparent. This has always been true of our friend and sister in Christ Joyce Boahene. Her writings, whether in prose, verse, or any other format have become for us, “Like apples of gold in settings of silver” (Proverbs 25:11, AMP). They seem to always come at the proper time. What is the reason behind her great volume of work and creative output? It is due to nothing less than the time she spends at her Savior’s feet, listening and considering every word that comes from His heart and into hers. You are about to be blessed!
