"Go quickly to the great city of Nineveh and preach against it; for their wickedness is come up before my presence"

* Luis Alberto Alves

 God's message is clear: he asked Jonah to go to Nineveh and preach his word there. People mean. He loved abusing their victims, including practicing death by mulching or chopping off his neck.

  Like every man, endowed with judgment, Jonas trembled at the base to hear the message of the Lord. He preferred to take the ship and move towards another city. Inwardly I wanted to throw away this pineapple. In his mind, the recommendation of God serve to settle your life.

Sometimes we think that our great God desires the ruin of his servants. By human logic is crazy preach the Gospel in a place where proliferates vanity and meanness. After all, everyone is lost. It is raining in the wet. Cast pearls before swine.

 For each servant, Jesus Christ set aside a Nineveh. It can be co-workers, school, college, neighbors or even your relatives. Lost people, essence of evil and far from God's love.

 In these times, when the Holy Spirit touches deep into our hearts to talk about the deep love of God and bring light to those lost in the darkness, we act like Jonas. We took another ship, this case different from the way indicated by the Lord, to shirk responsibility. My brothers very meditate in Jonah, chapter 1, verse 2.
