Read 2 Samuel 9:7 – “Don't be afraid,” David said to him, “for I will surely show you kindness for the sake of your father Jonathan. I will restore to you all the land that belonged to your grandfather Saul, and you will always eat at my table.”
Saul was dead and David had become the new king of Israel. Saul was constantly trying to destroy the life of David, but through God’s divine plan David prevailed. Although pursued as an enemy by Saul, David never considered Saul his enemy. After David’s coronation he searched out Saul’s descendants that he might show them kindness. It speaks strongly of a man’s character when he can show kindness to another man's children. A child who has lost their father will never forget the kindness received from a man willing to fill that void in their life. Adopted dads can change the destiny of children who have been left without love, leadership and legacy. These dads offer orphaned children a heart full of love. Invest in the lives of someone else's children and you will certainly enrich your own life.
