* David is basically saying, “Don’t remember who I used to be - think about who I am now. I want you!”

* He asked God to look at his intentions, not his past actions.

* This is what love does - it gives the benefit of the doubt and assumes the person wants what’s best.

* Our relationships will blossom if we do what David is asking God to do.

* We tend to judge ourselves by our intentions and others by their actions.

* We need to flip this in relationship - judge ourselves by our actions and others by their intentions, and assume people have good intentions.
