Generosity |When It’s Hard to Give
Generosity. Sometimes it's hard to give! Yet, God gave us Jesus. Certainly not what we expected or deserved.Today we take a look at 2 Samuel 9, and what happened between David and Mephibosheth.
You could imagine Mephibosheth’s wonder at the kindness he was being shown. Likely, he was entirely overwhelmed, and David’s heart was remarkable full, and those watching this whole thing unfold were likely dumbfounded.
Generosity: making someone’s day by giving something away.
