Visible in 2522

 Genesis 12:1 The Lord said to Abram, "Leave your country, your people and your father's household and go to the land I will show you."

Abram was 75 when he received this word from God. It amazes me that the calling was not clear other than to leave. There was not a specific place for Abram to go. It was simply, "go to the land I will show you." Abram had to wait a long time to receive the call in the first place. And then he had to wait even longer for the promise of Isaac and the many nations, of which he wasn't even on earth to see. This is why I want to focus on who I'm becoming and not on what I'm doing. Our work feels vain at times. It seems as though many of the fruits of our callings don't come until years later and sometimes not even until we are gone from the earth. What kind of a heart loves someone and waits 50-100 years for its fruition? Whose heart willingly gives up everything and waits 2000 years for the outcome? Jesus' heart. Christ's heart loved me on the cross over 2000 years ago, so my life could be changed now. That's a new way to think about "the land I will show you." That's the heart I'm seeking. I desire to live my life today so that the fruit of who I am in Jesus is visible in 2522.
