And he prayed unto the Lord, and said, I pray thee, O Lord, was not this my saying when I was yet in my country?
Therefore I fled before unto Tarshish: for I knew that thou art a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repentest thee of the evil.
Jonah describes the beautiful character of our loving God; he feels God is too merciful in His decision to extend salvation to the people on Ninevah.
In Jonah’s opinion, they were unworthy; it’s our unworthiness that makes the mercy of God so precious.
None of us deserve salvation, but God loved us so much He sent His Son as the ultimate sacrifice for our sins.
We are blessed to be surrounded by His selfless love.
Dearest Lord, You are merciful when we do not deserve it.
We are thankful for Your unconditional love and will continue living according to Your plan.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.🙏
