God is Patient
Mephibosheth
2 Samuel 4 & 9
There was once a little prince. He fell when he was a
baby and became lame. He could not walk very well.
King David was a kind king. He wanted to help Mephibosheth. King David let Mephibosheth
live in the palace.
Mephibosheth ate the King's food. He had a nurse to take care of him. He was very happy
living in the King's palace.
God wants us to be kind like King David. He wants us to care for people who cannot do
things as well as we can. God wants us to be kind and patient with people like this.
Do you know anyone who cannot walk very well?
Do you know anyone who cannot see or hear very well?
Do you know anyone who cannot speak very well?
God wants you to spend time with people like this. Be kind to them and help them to be
happy, because they cannot do things as well as you can.
