I have a Little Jonah in Me (Devotion)
I Have a Little Jonah in Me is a 7-session devotional about forgiveness, bitterness, resentment, and the uncomfortable truth that sometimes we love God’s mercy most when we are the ones receiving it.
Through the story of Jonah, this devotional explores what happens when someone hurts us, we know God calls us to forgive, but part of us still wants them to pay.
Jonah knew God was gracious, compassionate, slow to anger, and full of mercy. His problem was that he didn’t want God to show that same mercy to Nineveh.
If we’re willing to admit it, there can be a little Jonah in all of us.
Inside, you’ll explore:
Why God’s forgiveness gives us the power to forgive others
The difference between forgiveness, reconciliation, trust, and boundaries
How bitterness, anger, frustration, and resentment can become their own prison
Why forgiveness does not mean pretending the hurt never happened
How to stop trying to collect a debt from someone who wounded you
What it means to trust God with both justice and mercy
How to live like a man who has truly been forgiven much
Each session combines Scripture, honest reflection, practical application, and questions designed to move forgiveness from something you believe in to something you actually practice.
This devotional is not about excusing what happened.
It is about refusing to let what happened keep controlling who you become.
You have been forgiven much. Now learn how to live like a forgiven man.
