Love: David and Mephibosheth
Before we love, we have to know we are loved. The king in this story provides us a glimpse into God’s heart. The cripple in this story shows us a glimpse of our heart. To grow spiritually is to see yourself as both. You may feel forgotten, but God, the ultimate King, knows you and invites you to eat every meal at his table. Then, once you have received, receive also the challenge to become like the king and show love to the vulnerable. The Gospel will be offensive to everyone. But the love in the Gospel will produce generous love in you.
