Jonah

Jonah 3:1-10,4:1-11

I love Jonah. He tells God just what he thinks. He does not hide his emotions from God, why should he? He gets his anger off his chest but does not quite move on, well not yet.

I used to have a devotional book with quotations from many sources. One of my favourites was Teresa of Avila. Since it was her day yesterday I had a glance a page which listed some of her quotations. The one which said hello to me was

“For prayer is nothing else than being on terms of friendship with God.” 

Jonah was completely at ease in his relationship with God.
