wonderful choice
I love reading biographies the most. I love to read them all, whether they are presidents, emperors, princesses or queens, scholars or politicians, poets or poets, leaders from all walks of life, or even traffickers and lackeys. Reading a biography is like venturing into someone else's world. From other people’s stories and experiences, sometimes we are amazed at their talents, sometimes we admire their extraordinary courage, sometimes we gain new understandings of people and things, and are enlightened about certain thoughts and ideas. Sometimes, other people’s misfortunes or choices become successful Learn your own lessons and lessons. This adventure often brings unexpected gains and enriches one's life.
But it is undeniable that the biography of the missionary has influenced me the most. Many young men and women have given up everything in front of them because they believe that God has a higher calling for their lives. Many of them have to go through all kinds of hardships to go to the workshops that God has entrusted to them, enduring hardship, loneliness, and even poverty. Being disappointed, being misunderstood and rejected by everyone, including my own people, experiencing attacks, illness, death, and abandonment, just to share God’s love, salvation, eternal hope and grace with others. Their life stories, although often filled with ups and downs, are filled with God’s promised peace and presence. And as a result, many lives are never the same again.
My family is an example. If Dr. Jacob Ma from Scotland had not responded to God’s call to come to Taiwan in 1865, my great-grandfather might have continued his mediocre and drifting life, and I would not be where I am today. A young man's commitment at a critical moment changed the fate of another young man who had never met him in a foreign country, thus changing the fate of the entire family for generations, thus affecting the eternal direction of many other families. What a wonderful choice!
