I think the quote speaks for itself... Are you addicted to God??? or is something else in His place???

David, the shepherd boy... He's been on my mind alot lately... The insignificant country kid who grew up to do amazing things...
A man after God's own heart...
Have you ever thought about what that means??? I have... Alot...
Now anyone who knows anything about David knows he was definitely a bit rough around the edges. Did you know He had at least 5 wives??? I always knew about 2... Heard at least 3 I think, but eventually I learned he had at least 5... He was the guy who had another man killed to save himself the trouble of telling him about getting the man's wife pregnant... Oops...
I've always seen God as my best friend... I've come to know Him as my true love and coming from that true love perspective, its kind of bugged me to know David was a man after God's own heart... Because if David had a similar heart as God... Maybe God has the same philosophy about love as David... Love whoever you want and dont worry about the effects it may have on those around...
But you know David's woman problems weren't a matter of the heart, many of his marriages were political, so you can't really be after him for that... And any that weren't political was driven by the eyes not the heart... And since we already know from Davids story that man sees what's on the outside but God looks at the heart, we should already know, that God's love affair with each and everyone of us is so much more then lust or a shallow love...
With December just past and the new year begun, we've just come out of that "season of love" where individuals couple up, and couples make deeper commitments in their relationships... Anyone left single takes some time to reevaluate what they want out of life...
Well as one of the later of those choices, I've definitely reevaluated my life without romance...
My conclusion... I have more of a love life then alot of married people these days. I am certainly not lacking in Romance... I have everything my heart desires. God is good and He's chosen me. Every morning I wake up with countless gifts showered upon me... Every night I get to go to bed knowing I'll wake up in the morning to spend another day with Him... I know its a long distance relationship and sometimes it gets hard... But He thought His life on a cross was worth seeing me for all of eternity... No matter how long it takes to get me there.
There's nothing I want more then to see Him face to face... But until then it gives me lots of time to get to know Him...
David had alot of love to give to the world... He had a best friend who he devoted his life to. He had 5 wives who he must've spent some good quality time with, since he also had a few kids... 1 that he mourned greatly over, knowing it was his mistake that would cost his sons life... And when He mourned for his lost child... He hadnt even met the kid yet... Of course there was Absolom who would have killed David in order to have the thrown, but because he was David's son... David sought every possible solution apart from death to bring Absolom home...
David most certainly was a man after God's own heart... Because both knew how to love... Both gave love everything they had... Heart and soul for the ones they cared about... David made alot of mistakes... And I am so glad my God is perfect in every way... He's alot smarter then David... But thankfully for us... He's No more careful about who He chooses to love... Because He loves each and every one of us, with a passion so deep, and a love so strong... That not even in death shall we part.
