📖 Day 9: The Second Time

📖 Day 9: The Second Time

Scripture:
“Then the word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time.” — Jonah 3:1

🌿 Reflection

God speaks to Jonah again.
Not with frustration.
Not with reminders of his failure.
Not with a list of what Jonah should have done differently.

Just… a second chance.

After running, after the storm, after the belly of the fish, after regret and repentance—God still calls Jonah. The call didn’t disappear because Jonah stumbled. The purpose didn’t vanish because he ran. Grace doesn’t cancel the mission; it restores the messenger.

We often think our mistakes disqualify us.
But God thinks differently.
He meets us where we are, lifts us up, and speaks again.

Jonah’s story reminds us:
You cannot outrun God’s mercy.
You cannot fall beyond His reach.
And when He speaks “a second time,” it is never with condemnation—only invitation.
