I have found David son of Jesse, a man after my own heart. He will do everything I want him to do. – Acts 13:22(NLT)
A MAN AFTER GOD’S OWN HEART
A poem and essay by ILMA
Are you willing to commit your life to Christ?
If so, are you passionately after his own heart?
David was a man who will do everything God wants
He may be a sinner, but he’ll never turn his back
He seeks the Lord and wants to know him deeply
He always pours out his own heart to God openly
His honesty with his own weaknesses is astounding
He often cried out to him for grace that is so amazing.

One of the most interesting bible character is King David. Even before he was king, he had the audacity to fight against Goliath who is a giant. Though he was a very young lad when he did this, his faith is so huge that with a sling and a stone, he was able to defeat this huge and strong Philistine. He was such a musician, always playing the harp or lyre. He was a poet and the Psalms were filled with his writing. Though he was very weak and sinned by killing Bathsheba’s husband so he can have her, he never stopped seeking God. His honesty and openness truly exemplifies his desire to seek God’s own heart.
