Jonah 1:2
God's desire for all of His people is to come to Him to be saved. Though we turn away, He continues to call to and beckon for us, giving us ways to come back to Him. He could have easily destroyed the Ninevites because of their wickedness, but He instead chose to send Jonah as a messenger to give them a chance to come back to righteousness.
People will ask, "Why does God go through all that trouble? Why didn't He just destroy them? He would have been totally right to do so." The answer is simple: God didn't want to. He loves us! He loves His people, and His desire is for ALL to come to Him, so He'll give us ways out of our sin to see us prosper.
Praise God for His unending second chances!
