Chapter 1/2- Shall Not I Spare Nineveh?
Flash back last year. This was one of my more successful paintings. It was giving exposure in; Central Coast Magazine and the local New Times. At first I wasn't super impressed with it, but entered it in a art show and ended up winning first prize for it. That gave me a second wind in my art. When I was beginning to think art was a waste of time for me. Needless to say my heart and mind has changed. This painting is titled, Shall not I spare Nineveh? This is what God said to Jonah when he was bitter waiting for God to destroy a people he thought wicked. In this question he is asking Jonah if he should spare him in a sense. If he could not have a forgiving heart how could he approach goodness, or God. I believe this story is pertainant to all of us to move on from anything from our past that holds us down we have to forgive and move on.
