David — A Heart After God, Failures Included
David is called 'a man after God's own heart' not because he was sinless, but because of how he responded when confronted: no excuses, no spin, just Psalm 51's raw repentance. His story teaches that God is far more interested in a heart that returns quickly than a record that looks clean.
Memory Verse
Psalm 51:10
