A Heart Like David's

Now as many of you know, King David wasn't the most righteous person, he sinned constantly and even ordered a man to be killed so David could have the guys wife. Despite this, David had a very repentant heart and sought after the Lord with all of his heart. This is a huge example of what God desires in his children. He doesn't care I'd you do everything wrong, he wants a humble heart that desires him, repents, and turns from it's past ways. To me this is so cool because it shows that I don't have to be perfect, but that doesn't mean I shouldn't try. There is a song by Chris Tomlin called Your Heart. This song is about King David and it was actually what made me want to write this. Most of the song talks about how David never really wanted any glory for himself, but in not wanting the glory, he got glory, he never wanted riches, but he got them. David was about giving glory to God. I don't know about you but I desire to be like that. I want everything I do, everything I say, and just my presence to impact the people around me. I want to be an encouraging friend and a humble leader. Obviously I want to be more like Christ, but I think that David is a great example, especially for a kid my age. Because around my age now, David was serving Saul and patiently waiting for his time to come. And David was actively serving while waiting. We as Christians should really look at David's life and learn from it in so many ways. But look mostly at his heart.
