But the LORD said unto David my father: Whereas it was in thy heart to build a house for My name, thou didst well that it was in thy heart;
Rashi on II Chronicles
you did well that it was in your heart i.e., I too choose the House that you thought to build, where My name shall dwell, as is stated above.
