Psalm 119:83
Have you ever felt like life passed you by—forgotten, overlooked, or unworthy of kindness? In 2 Samuel 9, King David asks, “Is there anyone left from Saul’s house to whom I can show kindness for Jonathan’s sake?” That question leads him to Mephibosheth, a crippled man living in obscurity. Though Mephibosheth has nothing to offer, David restores his inheritance and invites him to eat at the king’s table—just like family. This story reminds us of God’s heart. He doesn’t forget the forgotten. He honors promises even when we fail. Like David, God looks past our brokenness and calls us by name. In a world that rewards strength and status, we serve a King who moves toward the weak, the weary, the wounded. Let this story shape your heart today. Who can you lift up, not because they’ve earned it—but because God first loved you?
