I love the story of Jonah. He's so human and relatable, with his running and his grumpiness and his pouting. He does eventually do as God asks and go to Nineveh, but he's never gracious about it. Jonah, along with so many other biblical characters, shows how God uses ordinary people, crabby people, stubborn people to carry out God's work in the world. God finds us, accepts us, and calls us, just as we are. There is no need to be perfect to do God's work.
