I Am Abba, Father
Jenny Wren
While dangling the child upon his knee
Jesus whispers love to such as these
''You, always trust me,'' telling the child
''I am your Abba," the little child smiled
The innocent smile on a little child’s face
Pure and sweet with no sin, not a trace
As he listens close to the voice of God
Instructing him into which way to trod
Awareness of trust is held in his heart
He will keep the trust, if a child is smart
Knows that his God is the Father of all
God has concern at every child's call
This little one shall never, ever be alone
''I am'' is with you ‘til you are full grown
Trust in your shepherd like a little lamb
Knowing you're safe, with ''Abba I am''

Isaiah 66 12 For thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream: then shall ye suck, ye shall be borne upon her sides, and be dandled upon her knees. 13 As one whom his mother comforted, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem.

the Kingdom of God is Spiritual.
God’s kingdom is spiritual just as the Holy Spirit is spiritual. His scripture becomes spiritual in the teaching, just as we are images of God we are as mere human beings here on this earth. What is saved? Not our bodies, for that is earthen matter).
People are looking for a literal kingdom to come here, just as the Scribes and Pharisees looked for one. That is the reason they killed Jesus; they did not recognize that they already had been blessed with the King of Glory.
Because He did not appear as they thought He should appear, they believed him not, called him a Blasphemer and killed him. Not until the aftershock of his death and the fact that he arose after the earth quaked in its madness for them killing Gods child (the child of God sent to save them), containing God himself.
They wanted an earthly king just as people today still want to see an earthly king in rule over them... It is not going to happen here.
The earth is slowly depleting itself as our human bodies are dying. When Jesus comes in his glory, he will take his people home with him, and we shall be like him.
Little do they know that the glorified body of Jesus is spiritual right now and can appear just as quickly as a blink of the eye. We shall be changed, that quickly also.
We become spiritual beings also with glorified body as children of God; the spirit that lives within is forever changing your soul into what God will have you to be.
He said himself the more and more you grow into being like him the less and less you shall be like your own self, because the kingdom is of His spiritual change. The word of God is what makes this so, as we go through life. These words of God
go through us, miraculously changing us into what God wishes.
The Word of God is sharper than a two-edged sword, cuts and separating the spirit and soul from the body of blood and bones. The accepting spirit now belongs to God in our slow transferring of growing and trusting our faith, following the commands of the words of Jesus.
Believing in and following him as our Master. His blood shed was given for each of us. Should each of us believe, we will be saved. We believe that Jesus is God covered in human flesh, gave of himself for each of us, therefore becoming the tree of life to each one who believes in him, eating and drinking of his blood shed for us. We take this communion of bread and blood as a 'reminder' of who it is and why we celebrate his giving of everlasting life to each of us.
Jesus is indeed the tree of life, the same tree in the Garden of Eden so long ago, which heals and gives renewed everlasting life to the believer, just as the metaphor of the tree in the midst of the Garden of Eden.
The ground at that time was cursed and our bodies are made of earth, from what we partake in food, by what we eat. The salvation of the Lord's giving of sacrifice of himself is our salvation. Praise God for enlightening, from the Holy Spirit. Because of Jesus, the soul of saved mankind will go back to God. When our death comes, if our death comes before Jesus returns... The Holy Spirit of God lives inside of mankind, teaching him, bringing them to realization of the kingdom of God. When the new heaven and earth comes, all will be forgotten of these trials of living on this earth. Our wilderness days will then be over. It is then that each knee will bow, confessing that "He is Lord!" But He who does not believe is condemned already. The bloodshed of our sacrifice is the covering that keeps our sinful selves fit for saving. We, in ourselves are nothing. We are God’s little children, and know truths. Many will not believe, but my body now groans to be covered with my new immortal body of glorified flesh, just as my Master Jesus
had to endure. God help us to achieve and receive our reward of
eternal life with Him. When the time comes, trust in Him as those in Heaven trust in Him. May thy will be done, Lord, here inside of us, in earth, as it is in Heaven.

The more I serve Him, the more and more we grow like him and soon we leave the old self behind, and what we become is miniature receptacles of our Lord’s life inside of our own. We grow more and more like him. Praise God for the opening of our eyes to see and be like our Lord. Let it be, dear Lord. Let it be.
