At the center of the Kingdom Hearts’ story is a group of damaged, flawed, unlikely heroes… some of them were “Nobody’s” searching for a body and life of their own, many were flawed and troubled souls who were still struggling with their own personal battles, and several even started off serving the wrong side before eventually finding their way into the light. But despite their messy backstories and even the poor decisions some had previously made, they were still chosen to be part of the team that would work together to save the world… and even their complicated past became part of their future purpose. 

Some of the most encouraging verses to read in the Bible are the names of those who were chosen to be part of the genealogy of Christ. God could’ve picked anyone to have a place in His family tree, and yet He deliberately selected the heartbroken and battle-damaged Ruth, the harlot with a heart of gold Rahab, the trickster Jacob, and even the adulterous David and Bathsheba to be part of His Son’s lineage. But these broken, damaged, and even previously sinful souls were grafted into the vine through His grace because He looked beyond who they had been and what they had done and saw who they would become. And it’s an invitation that He still extends to every one of us… even a wayward soul like mine.

Salmon begot Boaz by Rahab, Boaz begot Obed by Ruth, Obed begot Jesse, and Jesse begot David the king. David the king begot Solomon by her who had been the wife of Uriah. Matthew 1:5-6

But now, thus says the Lord, who created you, O Jacob, and He who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; you are Mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, nor shall the flame scorch you.” Isaiah 43:1-2

But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are. 1 Corinthians 1:27-28
