Jonah

Jonah

Jonah had made up his mind to disobey God, and went his own way. The poem “Jonah” (read by my son James), tracks his progress. Despite his disobedience, God still loved him. Love is always what it is. A way is always provided for our redemption. His innate honesty leads him to his own three days and nights of deep thought, in which he finds a renewed motivation, the stone in his thinking was rolled away, and a renewed obedience to the God he loves was rewarded by the salvation of many. It shows the impact one person can have. Ninevah was saved. The extreme wickedness of all those in Ninevah was forgiven, for in their repentance they were freed from their past. In the now of true love, history is expunged.

[Oh delightful paradox! In compliance we do find
Only then is freedom found when we know One Mind.]
