Oriental people are mainly concerned about losing their houses and the West is trying to recover them. But the west side can imagine that the houses they want may no longer exist and that they can not imagine that there is no future and that the East does not see acceptable options. Compare Salman Rushdie 's Ruby Slipper Auction (ATARS) with his The Prophet' s Hair, you will see this. The west is trying to regain the house they lost, and the east is trying to stop the house they moved. Both stories include portraits of the past.
I like the immediacy of Isaiah's reaction. "Well, please go home and pray that God will do for me." Let's save your time. I ask you three questions: (1) Have you seen this god? I will not ask if you have heard of him. Did you see this god? (2) Have you been deeply moved by this grace? (3) When you said "Who can send it to?" Did you hear God? Have you heard of it? Because you can not get close to the cross and you can not hear God say it. The world spoiled the amazing size. People are lost, God cares. He is asking you now, "Who do you want to send to me?" Who will go to us?
Now go out. One day is more difficult than the other. If you think that you will not miss your hometown, you are wrong! Families have some degree of comfort, I will miss it normally, so the crying baby is crying! It all comes out and raise a good scream, your nose will flow under your face, and you will need it. There is always something you wonder if you left home and made the right decision to go to a brand new city, state, or even the country. Questions such as "This is really a right choice", "I can approach the house in the next semester", "I should not do it" may come to mind. I stick to the end. Do not disturb you by spreading suspicion in your heart. You can solve it
