2 Samuel 9:7
New Living Translation (NLT)
7 “Don’t be afraid!” David said. “I intend to show kindness to you because of my promise to your father, Jonathan. I will give you all the property that once belonged to your grandfather Saul, and you will eat here with me at the king’s table!”
His treatment of Mephibosheth shows David's integrity as a leader who accepted his obligation to show love and mercy. His generous provision for Jonathan's son goes beyond any political benefit he might of received. Are you able to forgive those who have wronged you. Can you be generous with those less deserving? Each time we show compassion, our character is strengthened.
