Will God Change Because You Fell Short?
You may have veered the course that you were taking, the course that you vowed to the Lord you would follow, by being obedient to Him and letting His will be done in your life. But you fail short of your promise to God. You may have sinned intentionally. The flesh got weak, and you just couldn't help yourself. So now you're deciding to continue on with the sin. Thinking that you've fallen too far, and God will not have mercy on you.
That can be farthest from the truth. What God has for you is for you. The time frame may take a little longer with how soon He gives you what He wants to entrust you with, until you show yourself approved of Him. God does not lie.
(Numbers 23:19)NKJV
“God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?
(Jonah 1: 2-3) NIV
Jonah Flees From the Lord
1 The word of the Lord came to Jonah son of Amittai:2 “Go to the great city of Nineveh and preach against it, because its wickedness has come up before me.”
3 But Jonah ran away from the Lord and headed for Tarshish. He went down to Joppa, where he found a ship bound for that port. After paying the fare, he went aboard and sailed for Tarshish to flee from the Lord.
But further into story.
The winds blew and the sea was getting rougher and rougher. (The men on the ship,
knew Jonah was running away from the Lord, because he had already told them so.)
So they asked him, “What should we do to you to make the sea calm down for us?”
12 “Pick me up and throw me into the sea,” he replied, “and it will become calm. 15 Then they took Jonah and threw him overboard, and the raging sea grew calm.
Jonah’s Prayer To God
Jonah was saved by being swallowed by a huge fish Provided by God, in whose belly he spends three days and three nights. While in the huge fish, Jonah prays to God in his affliction and commits to thanksgiving and to paying what he's vowed. God then commands the huge fish to vomit Jonah out onto dry land.
(Jonah 3:2-3) NIV
Jonah Goes to Nineveh
3 Then the word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time: 2 “Go to the great city of Nineveh and proclaim to it the message I give you.”
3 Jonah obeyed the word of the Lord and went to Nineveh.
The moral of the story is:
We can't get so far off course, that God is going to change His mind on our destiny, that He's purposed for our lives.
Repent to God and get back on track, following the will of God for your life.

The Prayer Of Salvation:
Dear Lord Jesus, I ask for your forgiveness of my sins, known, unknown, thought, deed, and word. I believe You died & rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and invite You to come into my heart and life. I accept You as my Lord & Savior.
(Romans 10:13)NIV
Everyone who
calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.
(Romans 10:9)NIV
If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

38 Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call.”
