I Am Number 8 (Overlooked and Undervalued, but Not Forgotten by God) - John W. Gray

If God can take David -- the invisible eighth son of a forgotten family -- and turn him into a king, just imagine what magnificent plans He has for redeeming your life.David was born a number 8 -- a hidden gem, often overlooked and undervalued by everyone except for God. For David, being a number 8 seemed like a curse until the day God transformed him from the unknown eighth son of Jesse into the much-honored king of Israel. When God sends out an invitation to greatness, His directions don''t always make sense to us. You may feel like the most invisible, broken number 8 out there, but God sees your hidden value and is growing you for better things. David didn''t know it, but his time as a simple shepherd with a dull future did not go unnoticed by God. In David''s darkest moments, he was cultivating the kind of gifts, wisdom, and leadership he would need to become a king. Even when you''re an underdog in the eyes of the world, God is working behind the scenes to develop you into a king or queen.
