I have sinned before Yahweh our God. -King David
David was an amazing guy.
Psalm 49
For the director of music. A psalm of David. When the prophet Nathan came to him after David had committed adultery with Bathsheba.
1 Have mercy on me, O God,
according to your unfailing love;
according to your great compassion
blot out my transgressions.
2 Wash away all my iniquity
and cleanse me from my sin.
3 For I know my transgressions,
and my sin is always before me.
4 Against you, you only, have I sinned
and done what is evil in your sight,
so that you are proved right when you speak
and justified when you judge.
5 Surely I was sinful at birth,
sinful from the time my mother conceived me.
6 Surely you desire truth in the inner parts [a] ;
you teach [b] me wisdom in the inmost place.
7 Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean;
wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
8 Let me hear joy and gladness;
let the bones you have crushed rejoice.
9 Hide your face from my sins
and blot out all my iniquity.
10 Create in me a pure heart, O God,
and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
11 Do not cast me from your presence
or take your Holy Spirit from me.
12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation
and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.
13 Then I will teach transgressors your ways,
and sinners will turn back to you.
14 Save me from bloodguilt, O God,
the God who saves me,
and my tongue will sing of your righteousness.
15 O Lord, open my lips,
and my mouth will declare your praise.
16 You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it;
you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings.
17 The sacrifices of God are [c] a broken spirit;
a broken and contrite heart,
O God, you will not despise.
18 In your good pleasure make Zion prosper;
build up the walls of Jerusalem.
19 Then there will be righteous sacrifices,
whole burnt offerings to delight you;
then bulls will be offered on your altar.
We have done wrong in his sight but he favors us. He loves us so much. I dont think David has been the only one after Gods own heart...because a lot of us strive to be like that every day. I pray that we all long for that. That we put our sins to the sword and love the Father without condition...love others without reservation.

I like that. A lot. God did really good when he showed us through His word that men such as David sinned, then fell on his knees before the Father.
As we live in these lowly bodies may we have guidance when we fall, and when we get back up again. This is our plea.
I too, have sinned before Yahweh our God- Courtney
you're a rock star. i don't say that because i don't believe it. i say it b/c i do.
you're also profound.
but, in all our profoundness or clever words, it amazes me to think that we are still nothing... and he still calls us chosen.
for this, i'm thankful.
