### Key Points:
1. **Mephibosheth’s Story**
- King David honored his promise to Jonathan by inviting Mephibosheth, a disabled descendant, to dine at his table—showing how God’s love invites us as we are.
2. **Letting Go of Comparison**
- Constant comparison fuels self-doubt. True peace comes from knowing our worth doesn’t depend on being “the best.”
3. **Self-Fulfilling Beliefs**
- Believing we aren’t “enough” can limit us. God values us for who we are, not what we achieve.
4. **Embracing Unique Strengths**
- Focusing on personal strengths brings more satisfaction than competing with others.
5. **Confidence in God’s Standards**
- God values faithfulness, not worldly success. Trust that you belong at God’s table because of His grace.
**Final Reflection:**
God’s love is about belonging, not competing. Embrace who you are and bring your best to God, knowing you’re accepted as you are.
