AI OVERVIEW: Bitterness blinds and binds, turning attention away from God's mercy toward our own expectations. Jonah’s anger at Nineveh's repentance leads him to isolate on the east of the city, where a plant’s shade and then a worm and wind expose the self-centered root of his grievance. Grace is not earned and extends to those we deem unworthy, inviting us to practice mercy as Jesus models in the prodigal son and the older brother. It closes by inviting reflection on Romans 8:31 and the question, If God is for us, who can be against us, reframing grace as a call to embody mercy toward others.
