Pray this Lazaroo with growing understanding:
“But to Jonah this seemed very wrong…”
(Jonah 4:1)
What was this horrible thing Jonah thought You did, Jesus?
He didn’t just accuse You of doing wrong
he accused You of doing very wrong.
The “awful” thing You did
was being merciful.
The people of Ninevah deserved to be destroyed.
But when they repented
because Jonah preached their doom
You relented.
May I never be upset when You treat others better than they deserve!
Your mercy
is the only reason
I’m drawing another breath.
