* When David desired to build a temple for the Lord God responded by giving him the promise of an everlasting kingdom.

* David was humbled, recognizing God didn’t hold his sins against him.

* vs 16-7 - you know your motive by how you respond when it happens (or doesn’t happen).

* vs 18 - When God forgives us He doesn’t hold our sins against us any longer.

* We shouldn’t walk around in guilt. We are forgiven.

* However, we should always hold the memory of how forgiven we are.

* David said to God, “For You know Your servant!”

* He was reminding himself of how forgiven he truly was.

* This is what keeps you humble, and is what made David a man after God’s own heart.

* This is good memory.
