I heard a sermon last night that posed that question. It has gotten me to thinking about my life. Years ago much like Jonah I had a prejudice against people with Drug and Alcohol addictions. I believed that they deserved to be miserable and I did not want to help them know anything about Christ. And through the years the Lord would bring people in my life to be close to me that had these problems and time and time again I was cold and harsh to them. Until the day that I found myself addicted to prescription drugs. You see I was like Jonah. The addiction I had was like the fish Jonah found himself in. I had to fess up to my prejudices I had to repent. But like Jonah I still struggle with love for these people even though not only has God healed me but I am married to a man healed from these addictions also. I know that God will give me more people to love and help with these problems and I pray now I will follow him and not run away. Do you have a prejudice? Are you running from God? Read what happened to Jonah. Let's be able to answer No I am not a Jonah.
