“Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.”
King James Version (KJV)

Ann - this is my take and others might disagree.
1. David had faith and stood on the promises of the Lord. (like with Goliath) He knew the Lord gave them the land
2. He repented at his own sin and shortcomings. (Bathsheba)
1 Samuel 17:26 And David spake to the men that stood by him, saying, What shall be done to the man that killeth this Philistine, and taketh away the reproach from Israel for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God
Read 2 Samuel 12
13 And David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against the LORD. And Nathan said unto David, The LORD also hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not die. (Jesus warned us to repent many times)

Why was David called a man after God's own heart. Was it humility. Was it obedience, what was it. Scriptures to back it up

We must in demonstration of the love of God help the other person in distress but that person must take responsibility to work with his hands to provide for his family another man can not bear the responsibility of his own family for him

Bear ye one another 's burdens, and fulfill the law of Christ as compared to let every man bear his own burdens. We all have burdens to bear in life, and some of them we can assist others, and by so doing we fulfill the law of Christ. But every man has the burden of providing for his family, and that burden he must bear alone. Paul said if a man does not provide for his family, he has denied the faith, and is worst than an infidel. So let us pray to God to show us how to bear one another 's burdens, and how to encourage others to bear the burden of providing for his family.
