He was “the Encourager,” a caring and compassionate man who was willing to give of himself and his means. He believed in people and saw them as individuals of worth. He saw the other person as someone with potential, and often saw in them what others could not see. When they failed, he helped them to get up and try again. I believe Barnabas had the heart of Jesus. |

What’s it like to live inside a great fish for three days? What was it like to get spit back up on dry land? It’s so awesome to know God pursues us and that He gives us second chances. It’s also interesting to know that the life of Jonah winds up in a cliffhanger. We don’t ever know what happens to Jonah. As for me, I will choose to live out my days obeying God and following His voice and direction for my life. Although Jonah went on to complain, I will decide to follow no matter what circumstances may cause me to be uncomfortable. It's not about me. It's about His story and His glory! |
