God calls us to space, place, face, and at His own pace to and through grace to meet Him and one another.

Genesis 12:1 was a far more significant turning point for Abraham that he or we could know. The place/land He will show us may be a mystery where we are likely to touch the misery of humanity in a way that we can face it, doing more than occupying space, but imparting grace.

It is the pace of it with which I sometimes argue.

Yet, that is not my place. My place is where I am placed.

May my deep and abiding gladness in being accepted, loved, embraced, and forgiven overcome all my reservations and meet, with contagious joy, the hunger of a broken world.
