Soon after Rachel had given birth to Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, “Please release me so I can go home to my own country. [Genesis 30.25]
What is it about "going home" that affects life decisions so?
I know this: it has affected me. After many years of being away from my home, I returned. I did not return for economic reasons - if anything, my return home decreased my earning potential. But I am home and somehow that makes it alright.
Father, as much as I enjoy "being home" where I grew up, may I increasingly be found a stranger here with ever increasing affection for being home with You... and bringing my family with me!
