After God's Own Heart

after God’s heart – I just realized it doesn’t mean “dear to God’s heart”

it means chasing after, seeking, following, trying to find God’s heart

David was after God’s heart

because

he turned around and faced God every time he realized he’d stopped seeking God

he messed up, over and over

he forgot to seek and obey

he was selfish and sinful

and he kept on turning around and seeking after God’s heart

so,

pretty much,

he was no one special

God was just commenting that David was seeking Him

like we can

just exactly like me
