Luella Mae The Kingdom Within by Barry Laney
Episode notes
Heaven in Me — The Kingdom Within A story just for you, Luella Mae Laney
Once upon a time, before you were even born, God whispered your name through the stars. He said, “This one will carry My light. This one will shine with My love. This one will walk with Me.”

And so you came into the world — with bright red curls, eyes full of wonder, and a heart that glows like the morning sun.
But here’s the biggest secret of all…
You don’t have to wait to go to Heaven one day. Heaven already lives inside of you.
That’s right — The Kingdom is inside your heart. It’s not just a place far away with golden streets. It’s a place of love, peace, joy, and light that lives in you every single day.
When you smile… when you sing… when you help someone who’s sad… the Kingdom shines. When you dream big dreams and believe that anything is possible — the Kingdom grows. When you remember you're never alone, even in the dark… the Kingdom whispers, “I’m here.”
In this book, you’ll see a girl who looks a lot like you — walking barefoot on a path of stars. Behind her is Jesus, her forever Friend, and beside Him is the lion of courage. Together, they’re showing her who she really is: a daughter of light, filled with Heaven’s glow.
And the best part?
That girl IS you.
So every time you read these pages or color these verses, remember: You don’t have to try hard to be special. You already are.
Because Heaven lives in you. And the Kingdom is within.
— With all my heart, Daddy
