Jonah is a fantastic story of a God who never gives up on us despite our attitudes and actions. A God who cares for everyone no matter what they have done.

The story of Jonah can be likened to the story of the Prodigal Son – the lost, repentance, forgiveness, the elder son's bad attitude, the Father who keeps reaching out.

If you are struggling with God's call on your life, the story of Jeremiah and his response to God is extremely relevant.

If ever there was a time for someone to say, "I told you so", Jeremiah had the right. Jeremiah is a reminder that we are to go directly to God and not base our 'hearing from God' through other people. But the book of Jeremiah and his life is also a story of hope and promise – if you seek to find God, you will not be disappointed.

They were both willing participants in God's story, open to the mystery and adventure, displaying the courage required to partner with God. Do you believe God can do the impossible in your life?
