I was in Genesis 12 for today's Bible reading from church. In it, God tells Abram to "Go from your country, your people, and your father's household to the land I will show you." No big deal, just leave everything you've ever known. The Bible says nothing about Abram's response, save for the fact that he went. Who knows if he felt conflicted or torn or relieved to get out of there. All we know is that he went... and in return, God made him the father of a nation.
Sometimes, the leaving can feel like death, but it brings life.
