What God's Kingdom Means to Her

Recently, a ten-year-old girl named Folake was assigned to write an essay for school on the subject "What I Love Most in This World."  Folake chose to write about why she loves telling others about God's Kingdom.

"God's Kingdom is a real government," Folake explained.  "But  it's invisible, so you can't see it-even if you wear glasses!" 

Folake went on to write about blessings of the Kingdom that she especially looks forward to.  Mentioning some of the problems  that the Kingdom will solve, she wrote, "I am sad when I see homeless people living on the streets" as well as "kinds starving to death in all different parts of the world.."  She added, "I'm happy again when I read Isaiah 65:21."  Regarding humans who will live under the rulership of God's Kingdom, that verse promises:  "They will  build houses and live in them, and they will plant vineyards and eat their fruitage." 

Folake said that she also looks forward to the time when God, by means of his Kingdom, will do away with all sickness.  In her essay, she quoted Revelation 21:4, which says that God "will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore."  She concluded  by stating again that speaking about Jehovah and his Kingdom is what she loves most in this world. Clearly, God's  Kingdom has a special place in the heart of this young girl.
