I read a portion of scripture  2Sa 12:24 "Then David comforted Bathsheba his wife, and went in to her and lay with her. So she bore a son, and he called his name Solomon. Now the LORD loved him,"
it was the last part of this verse that caught my attention; Now the Lord loved him. Next verse says that they called his name Jediddiah (beloved of the Lord).
Think about this just for a moment; here is God stating that He loves Solomon, yet it would be Solomon who would build altars and worhip places for his pagan wives, and in doing so would turn his back to God.
This is amazing, Jesus loved us enough to die for our sins and in our demonstration of stupidity we turn our backs on Him, and this after we were yet sinners Christ died for us. Isn't that the casual way of the Christian today, we don't really grasp the love of Jesus for us, instead we by our lack of devotion to the Lord down play His love for us.
