Sometimes God uses drastic measures to show us His character. When we need to learn patience, God gives us a traffic jam; when we need to learn to be generosity, sometimes we lose money. Jonah needed to learn to love his enemies and God gave him a whale! You see, Jonah hated the Ninevites and God told him to go preach to them. He didn't want to so he tried to flee from God. At the end of Jonah chapter 4, God points out that Jonah loved insignificant things, but hated the Ninevites which God had a wonderful plan of salvation for. The story of Jonah causes all of us to consider how we can love like God loves. His love is truly unconditional - afterall, He poured His love out on us! PETE
