The next time you find yourself struggling with anger, remember Jonah. Let him be an example of how not to respond. Jonah appreciated God’s compassion for himself, but he grew angry when God showed compassion to people he felt did not deserve it. God’s compassion extends to all. Lean into it and encourage others to lean into it as well. As you do, you will experience God’s grace, mercy, steadfast love, and strength. In turn, we begin to be slow to anger and quicker to show compassion.
