"Everybody has a purpose in this world. God put you here for a reason," U.S. Rep-elect Dan Crenshaw told Pete Davidson when he reached out to the "Saturday Night Live" (SNL) star via phone over the weekend, according to Newsweek. "Know that you have value and you can do more good than you realize for people."

The words of kindness were delivered after the 25-year-old comedian shared a cryptic Instagram post, now-deleted, on Saturday, insinuating he was contemplating suicide.

"I really don't want to be on this earth anymore. I'm doing my best to stay here for you but I actually don't know how much longer I can last," Davidson's alarming message read. "All I've ever tried to do was help people. Just remember I told you so."

Crenshaw's actions also come after Davidson mocked the appearance of the former Navy seal, who wears an eye patch post losing an eye in Afghanistan, on an episode of SNL on November 3.

The two seemingly quashed their differences the following Saturday when Crenshaw joined Davidson on SNL to take a few jabs of his own. "This is Pete Davidson. He looks like if the meth from 'Breaking Bad' was a person," he said.

Twitterverse is showing the 34-year-old Texas Republican some appreciation for his actions, with many praising him for showing heart.

"Sometimes Help Comes From Where You Least Expect it. Dan Crenshaw, Who Was Made Fun Of On SNL by Pete Davidson Over His War Injury, Reached Out To Pete After an Alarming Cry For Help in a Tweet," remarked @mariettaposts.

"Hey, @DanCrenshawTX, thanks for continuing to show the world that humanity and decency transcend politics." said @kendilaniannbc.



Davidson has spoken publicly about the seriousness of mental health and his own struggles with borderline personality disorder. Crenshaw told KPRC it's tough to see someone in such pain.



"You know you don't want to see somebody in that kind of position to the point where they're actually putting out a cry for help on social media. That's not a good place to be in," he said.



Davidson's post sparked concern about his safety and well-being not only from Crenshaw but from his legion of social media followers and fellow celebrities including Jon Cryer, Jada Pinkett Smith, Machine Gun Kelly, and his ex-fiance Ariana Grande, who ran to be at his side.



"I'm downstairs and I'm not going anywhere if you need anyone or anything. I know u have everyone u need and that's not me, but i'm here too," she posted on Twitter.



After Davidson posted his worrying message on Saturday, he made only a brief appearance on SNL. He introduced a musical performance by Miley Cyrus and appeared in a pre-taped segment satirizing the efforts to find a host for the Academy Awards, but did not participate in any of the live comedy sketches, per the New York Times.



It was the show's last episode of the year.
