Shohrat mencoba mendekatkan diri kepada Tuhan melalui ritual keagamaan, namun Tuhan tetap saja jauh seperti bintang-bintang. Secercah harapan muncul ketika kakak iparnya mengatakan bahwa ia telah menemukan "Jalan Lurus", jembatan menuju Tuhan. Shohrat berjuang, tetapi ia tetap mendengarkan. Dia akhirnya menyerahkan hidupnya dan menemukan kedamaian dengan Tuhan.
In this pursuit I was on my way to Damascus with the authority and commission of the chief priests. About noon, O king, as I was on the road, I saw a light from heaven, brighter than the sun, shining around me and my companions. We all fell to the ground, and I heard a voice say to me in Hebrew,‘Saul, Saul, why do you persecute Me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.’ ‘Who are You, Lord?’ I asked. ‘I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,’ the Lord replied. ‘But get up and stand on your feet. For I have appeared to you to appoint you as a servant and as a witness of what you have seen from Me and what I will show you. I will rescue you from your own people and from the Gentiles. I am sending you to them to open their eyes, so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those sanctified by faith in Me.’
