David, A Man After God's Own Heart

David is known as being the "man after God's own heart" and that's one thing that always made me curious. I've often wondered what was it about David that made him stand out in that way. What does it even mean? I have to admit that this sort of question has directed a lot of my Bible study, as I tried to figure it out. I don't have it figures out yet, but I think I've got a few ideas now. I notice that David loved God's law & the law shows the character of God, the purity, the Holiness of God. Could that be what made David the man after Gods own heart? He loved the character of God, which I guess would mean he was maybe closer to understanding God than the rest of us.
