A place to call home....

 He said therefore, “What is the kingdom of God like? And to what shall I compare it? It is like a grain of mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his garden, and it grew and became a tree, and the birds of the air made nests in its branches.”
(Luke 13:18-19 ESV)
As Jesus continues to talk of the demands of discipleship, that is paralleled by His descriptions of the Kingdom of God.  At this time we cannot see it physically; like a mustard seed, it begins with a little faith. As our faith takes root, the Kingdom becomes the place we live - not land and castles and boundaries, as much as the place of security and contentment, knowing we are in the right place with God. He is protecting and providing for us; we are being held by Him.
