When God chose David to be king, He passed over the tall, strong, impressive brothers and picked the overlooked shepherd boy in the field. Why? Because God sees differently than we do. His idea of a king—and a kingdom—isn’t based on appearance, power, or performance, but on the heart. Just like David, Jesus came as the unexpected King of an upside-down kingdom—one marked not by status, but by sacrifice; not by striving, but by surrender. God knows you fully, loves you completely, and isn’t waiting on your perfection. He’s shaping who you’re becoming, not scoring how well you're doing. And even when His ways feel unexpected or uncomfortable, His will for you is always what’s best for you.
