Scripture: 2 Samuel 9
David wanted to show kindness to a member of Saul’s family for the sake of his friend, Jonathan, Saul’s son.
He wanted to show “the kindness of God”.
The kindness of God doesn’t go to the most deserving, best looking, or the one who can give something advantageous in return.
6 And Mephibosheth the son of Jonathan, son of Saul, came to David and fell on his face and paid homage. And David said, “Mephibosheth!” And he answered, “Behold, I am your servant.” 7 And David said to him, “Do not fear, for I will show you kindness for the sake of your father Jonathan, and I will restore to you all the land of Saul your father, and you shall eat at my table always.” 8 And he paid homage and said, “What is your servant, that you should show regard for a dead dog such as I?”
The kindness of God goes to all.
