Thank you Jonah." He lowers his head at the break in my voice. I ignore the moisture in his eyes and pretend that mine don't sting. "For what?" he whispers. " For showing me that people can change. Even if it is one person out of a million.

About This Quote

The power of one person to change the world for the better is truly remarkable. The story of Jonah is a beautiful testament to this idea. When God sent a storm against the city of Nineveh, all of its citizens were destroyed. However, Jonah prayed to God to spare them because they were guilty of wickedness.

God answered his prayer by sending the storm away and even telling Jonah that he should go over there and warn them. The city was spared that day, but then Jonathon continued on his journey all the way to Tarshish, where he preached against the people who had caused this wickedness. His preaching changed their hearts and they repented, turning from their wicked ways.
