The book of Jonah is about a God of infinite love and mercy, infinite patience and a pretty good sense of humor, too. A God who can use anyone to do a great thing. This story invites us to pray that God's purpose, which is wonderfully big, will swallow us and take us where we need to go: to do what we need to do; to say what we need to say; to be the people God longs for us to be.
Jonah 1:1-7, 15-17, 2:10-3:3a
