May God bless "my dear friends"!
After reading the 21st issue of "Kingdom of God Magazine", I was very inspired by the article "Dear Everyone". This is the greeting from the prayer network prayer letter from the magazine editorial team. I deeply felt from it that with this short greeting, the co-workers could talk to each other, cry with confidence, and laugh with joy! They are a team and partners who share joys and sorrows and love each other. I am really touched! God's ministry requires prayer, and every church should unite as one, pay the price of "knees", and cry out to the faithful God. His mercy and grace will surely come to us abundantly.
May God greatly bless every "dear member" of "Kingdom of God Magazine"!

Encountering "Kingdom of God" by chance and learning to write
By chance, I received a copy of "The Kingdom of God Magazine". I was immediately attracted by its cover, which is not only beautiful in color but also beautifully printed. The content of every article in it is a masterpiece. Another unique feature of it is that many images or photos are inserted into each article, which adds a lot of reading interest.
I am very happy to see that Kingdom of God Magazine has opened this reader response column, which allows me to enter this writing and reading paradise. I really want to sincerely thank our Heavenly Father for allowing me to pursue growth and learn to write at this age!

"Meal Blessing Ministry" touches my heart
I read three wonderful articles and two incisive responses from pastors in the 21st issue of "Kingdom of God Magazine" titled "Meal Blessing Ministry", which moved my heart. There are also several brothers and sisters in our church who own or work in restaurants, and they all encounter the problems you mentioned. It especially reminds me of the restaurant near my home. The chef is a single father and his daughter is about eight or nine years old. Although my father has accepted the Lord and has been baptized into His name, every time I go to the restaurant to visit them, he is always trapped in the kitchen and extremely busy. I had no choice but to let my daughter put aside her homework and wander around in the restaurant, doing nothing and being bored. Because of your reminders, I am willing to care for and tutor this child on a regular basis, and take her to church for children’s Sunday school. We also hope that our church will actively promote this ministry and rescue souls struggling in pain and loss in a timely manner.

Helping others is the principle of financial management
In the article in the 21st issue of "Supernatural Faith & Finances" (Supernatural Faith & Finances), the author Eric Vogen made an interesting and sharp comparison: the human heart's response to natural phenomena and the use of biblical perspectives to trust God . He then asked: "What world would you like to live in?" (What world would you like to live in?) After his methodical analysis, it is not difficult for readers to identify which world they would like to live in. He made a clear comparison between people's selfish psychology and true faith. It turns out that empathy in financial management is: fear God, care about your spouse, think of others, and help others. Having this outlook on life and values is the best guideline for financial management.

endless things to do
The article "Too Much To Do" in the English unit of the 21st issue talks about our generation. Due to industrial progress, work efficiency has been greatly improved. But in the face of our own work, we always feel that there is not enough time, there are still many things that have not been completed, and we still need to work hard. It mentioned how to deal with the emails we receive every day. My own mailbox has accumulated nearly 600 unopened items from Yimeier. Looking at this overwhelming amount of emails every day makes me feel headache and distressed. I try to get through as many emails as I can each day, only to have an even bigger batch arrive the next day!
Author Seth Murphy (Cec Murphy) uses Matthew 6:34 to relieve our worries, “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will have its worries; one day’s troubles are enough for one day. ” Although this is a familiar scripture, as soon as he reminded me, I suddenly woke up and my worries gradually disappeared.

Same content, two styles
I discovered that the Chinese and English units of "The Kingdom of God Magazine" share the same draft. In addition to practicing Chinese-English comparison and experiencing the personalities of the two languages, it is also quite interesting to appreciate the layout design of both sides sometimes! For example, in the 22nd issue of "Black Shoes and Christmas", the Chinese version starts with Christmas tree decorations (a strong Christmas atmosphere...), while the English version starts with a pair of black shoes (there seems to be something to say at the beginning...). Different visual expressions, but they all enrich the presentation of this article!

Reading "Kingdom of God" inspired me to cast my vote seriously
I have always had an indifferent attitude towards politics, and often refused to vote in various elections. However, reading the article "The Crisis of National Debt and Fiscal Deficit" in the 22nd issue inspired me to reflect on whether I am shouldering my due civic responsibility? Last year's three-in-one "five-city election" (mayor, city councilor, district chief) was the first time I read the election bulletin seriously, prayed to God seriously, and cast my vote carefully.
