I read a quote once that said with enough information, all actions make sense.
Without context, this would be viewed as terrible.
Viewed as what Jonah had been through, this was great news -- he was saved from a terrible experience and suddenly had hope for what the next step of his life looked like.
When we see friends of loved ones going through something, let us remember that context matters. So often, we don't know what else is going on in a person's life. We react to their actions, but there's often so much else going on in the background. May we learn to ask wise questions, and to listen patiently, that we may hear the full story. Our lives are interwoven with one another, so the more we learn, the better we are able to serve one another.
