Devotional
God often calls us to step beyond our comfortable circles and reach out to those we might naturally avoid. Like Jonah’s reluctance to go to Nineveh, we too might resist God’s call to engage with people different from us. Whether it’s cultural differences, past hurts, or personal biases, these barriers can prevent us from fulfilling God’s purpose in our lives. Remember, God’s love extends to everyone, even those we might consider undeserving.
Bible Verse
“What advantage, then, is there in being a Jew, or what value is there in circumcision?” – Romans 2:1
Reflection Question
Who are the ‘Ninevites’ in your life – those people or groups you find difficult to love or serve?
Quote
“Be very careful only caring about the people who are in your circle and not caring about the people you don’t want in your circle, because God cares about them all.”
Prayer
Dear God, break down the walls of prejudice in my heart. Help me see others as You see them and love them as You love them. Amen.
