Jonah and Me the Best of Buddies

Jonah was a man chosen by God for a mission that was in God's heart a heart of love for the people of Ninevah but Jonah didn't want to be a part Did he not realise how important it was? for God's mission calls His own to obey but Jonah was stubborn refuse to go only later find out there's a price to pay So Jonah got on the ship at Joppa heading for Tarshish from God he fled but the seas roared so sailors threw him off God sent a great fish that be Jonah's bed But Jonah remembered the Lord his God so God told the fish to vomit him on dry land Jonah then obeyed and went to Ninevah where the people repented by his hand I see myself so much just like Jonah refusing to go and tell of God's love but later in life turn around and do obey realising God knows everything from above Jonah like me likes to do his own thing no matters what others say he knew best but in the end, gives God his place knowing that's how to pass heavens test Jonah and me the best of buddies God teaches us by our Jesus studies (The story of Jonah would be my fav Bible story as seeing myself in Jonah's life, made his mistakes but see God coming to both our sides with his grace.)
