I've read and taught Jonah's story more times than I can remember. And while we do note his good deeds in the middle, Jonah's story is usually told in a negative light. Jonah's sin drives the story, and it ends with his wrong attitude. I have far too frequently been highly critical of Jonah, and really, it was self-projection.
I've struggled for many years with believing I lived in the grace of God. I, like Jonah, just mess up too badly and too much. But there is grace in this story. And Jonah's relationship with God, while tested by sin, was not broken by it. And neither is yours, nor mine, if we live by faith - even with our sins.
Can I invite you to have more mercy on Jonah? And more crucially, on yourself. God has. And God is not, nor has, given up on you. Don't give up on yourself. He has done so much in Christ and with the Spirit to secure your salvation!
