And when He had removed him, He raised up for them David as king, to whom also He gave testimony and said, ‘I have found David the son of Jesse, A MAN AFTER MY OWN HEART, who will do all My will.’
We would think that if David was considered "A MAN AFTER GOD'S OWN HEART" he must've been a perfect man. But David was far from perfect. He had a serious problems with his ability to maintain healthy relationships, his Temper, his Lust, his constant Lying, etc etc.
BUT one thing David did do and its that EVERY TIME he sinned against God, every time he made yet another mistake, every time he screwed something else up, he would do a self examination. He ACKNOWLEDGED HIS OWN SIN and would ask God for FORGIVENESS. David LOVED God no matter what, thats what motivated him to go back and repent.
Today, despite our constant mess ups and weaknesses. Lets remember one thing and its that God will NEVER despise a repented, broken and contrite heart.
