One of the often unrecognised things about David was that he not only had a heart after God but he also had a heart for people. David met lots of strangers at a particularly stressful time when his life was under threat. At one point he helped an Egyptian Stranger in a field, even though David himself was going through a stressful time.

God gives us a heart for himself and for people - how we treat those people who we think can do nothing for us is the greatest test of our love
