On being a man after God's own heart

"The first quality God saw in David was spirituality. "The Lord has sought out ... a man after His own heart". What does it mean to be a man after God's own heart? Seems to me , it means you are a person whose life is in harmony with the Lord. What is important to him is important to you. What burdens him burdens you. When he says, "Go to the right," you go to the right . When he says, "stop that in your life," you stop it. When he says, "this is wrong and I want you to change it," you come to terms with it because you have a heart for God. That's bottom line Christianity.

"When you are deeply spiritual, you have a heart that is sensitive to the things of God."
