THE PROPHET WITH AN ATTITUDE

When Jonah finds his prophecy unfulfilled he feels useless, a failure as a prophet. He sorrows over the loss of his shade when the vine that grew up so quickly withers and dies. He can’t understand how God could be so merciful and love all those wicked people. He thought it all turned out wrong because the wicked weren’t immediately destroyed. God showed him it turned out right because they repented!
