🔑 *KEY VERSE:* 

"...a broken and a contrite heart, O God thou wilt not despise" (PSALM 51:17b)

*TODAY'S TEXT* 

Jonah 3:6-10

*MESSAGE*

We serve a compassionate God. He does not resist tears of

repentance. He does not hesitate to show mercy to a repentant heart. Unlike humans he quickly withdraws His anger when any person who falls into sin quickly realizes from where he

has fallen, the grievousness of our sins notwithstanding. God is merciful, full of compassion, slow to anger and unfailing love.

Tears here refer to emotional or physical tears which flow as a result of crying or weeping. These tears are associated with all emotions. It is often triggered by strong emotional stress, anger, suffering, mourning or physical pain. God watches to see when we are grieved over our sins.

In the scripture above, Prophet Jonah was sent to Nineveh to proclaim God's word to cause repentance, but he allowed his personal

grievances to overtake his obedience. To demonstrate that no man has the power to overrule God's mercy, Jonah was driven to Nineveh in the belly of a fish contrary to his will, the people of Nineveh heard the message of Jonah, and they proclaimed a mournful fast through which they cried to God. The All-Merciful God saw their tears of repentance and responded. Jonah 4:10-11 "Then said the LORD, Thou hast pitied the gourd, for the which thou hast not laboured, neither madest it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night: And should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more than One hundred and twenty thousand persons that cannot discern between their right and their left hand; and also much cattle"? Who says God is not careful over his creation? He numbers even the hairs on our heads. Let's approach God with tears of repentance, he will hear us even if our sins are as red as

crimson he will make them white as snow.
