In 2 Samuel 9, David remembers a promise he made to his friend Jonathan. The promise was that he would always take care of his family. Jonathan had died, but David was told that his son, Mephibosheth was alive. David wanted to show him God's kindness. David gave him his family's land back, and invited him to eat at the king's table.

God shows us kindness too by making a way for our sins to be forgiven and for us to be part of his forever family through Jesus.
