Jonah saw God's will as punishment. Jesus saw God's will as nourishment.

Your heart grows by giving out, but your mind grows by taking in; and both are necessary to a happy and balanced life of service.

The most miserable prison in the world is the prison we make for ourselves when we refuse to show mercy. Our thoughts become shackled, our emotions are chained, the will is almost paralyzed. But when we show mercy, all of these bonds are broken, and we enter into a joyful liberty that frees us to share God's love with others.

You are a Christian because somebody cared. Now it's your turn.
