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.
And we pray and give praise:
Dearest Lord, You have mercy on us when we do not deserve it. We are so thankful for Your unconditional Love and will continue to live our lives according to Your plan. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
