A fter graduating from university, I read one book about the Holy Spirit as a graduation gift from the pastor of my church. During reading the book, I became engrossed in reading the Bible. Before that, I had never loved reading the Bible. It was just sort of an obligatory Christian life thing. However when I read the Bible then, there were so many precious scriptures in my mind, that remained as a treasure. I traveled between the lines of the pages, completely absorbed. When I read Isaiah 55:5, my pupils were dilated and my heart was opened to the words without any force. The scripture says that I will call a nation then it will run to me. It means we are so privileged in God. Our God wants to use us for mission and also to bless us so much. No longer do I belong to the world.

At the same time, I had a picture of a team, some foreigners including me, who held their hands up high joyfully. After that, I began praying more fervently for the different nations and peoples of the world.

Behold, you shall call a nation that you do not know,
and a nation that did not know you shall run to you, because of the Lord your God,
and of the Holy One of Israel, for he has glorified you.

Isaiah 55:5
