Who is Your Nineveh?

I've been looking at the story of Jonah lately, and getting past the fish thing, I began to think about this city that he didn't want to help. A bit of background. God called Jonah to go to Nineveh to deliver a message of judgment, and Jonah immediately ran in the opposite direction. His reasoning? He couldn't stand the city or people of Nineveh. And to make matters, worse, he knew that if he gave those people the message, God would show them mercy and grace, just like He'd done for His chosen people, Israel, time and again. But Jonah didn't want that, so he refused to take the message to Nineveh. The reason...... he didn't think they were worth God's compassion, or Jonah's time. So, Jonah put his prejudices before God's will. How many times have we done the same? Think..... about what group or individuals do you have that same attitude? Are there those who you think are completely out of consideration for love and acceptance, especially in your eyes? It could be anyone you don't see eye-to-eye with, making them "wrong" or "the wrong people", undeserving of love. But, Jesus says, "Love your enemies, and pray for your persecutors." Aren't we to follow those, or are they just some nice suggestions? Jesus also states, as the greatest and second greatest commandments, "Love your God with everything you are and have, and also, love your neighbors as you love yourself."
So, I find myself looking at my own attitudes and practices, and trying to identify my own Nineveh. I shudder to think what would happen if I was on God's list of the unworthy of grace. God help me to love God, love others and serve the world.
