David the sinner

Do you know the story of David? Usually when this question is ask the story of David and Goliath is brought up. How, against all odds David slayed the giant and saved his people. People remember him as a hero. For me, this is a big encouragement. If you delve deeper into the Bible you would find that David was an incredibly selfish King who saw his best friends wife bathing and wanted her for himself. He sent his friend into battle hoping for his death because of his lust. Yet, we all remember David as a hero. This just shows me that focusing on the positive is important. I also want to be remembered for my good deeds and not my sins.
