What does the Bible say about having a heart after God?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible describes a person after God's own heart as someone who seeks to fulfill His will and embodies genuine love and devotion.

According to Acts 13:22, God raised up David because he was a man after God's own heart. This implies that David sought to fulfill God's will, which is a characteristic true believers should emulate. In the eyes of God, the heart is central; it is not merely external appearances or actions that matter but the intentions and feelings that drive those actions. David's heart was characterized by humility, faith, and an understanding of his shortcomings, indicative of a true relationship with God, who desires sincerity over mere obedience.
