God repeatedly calls to His children, but the condition of each heart determines the result. Those with soft and tender hearts hear His voice and yield to Him in obedience, but those with hard hearts resist His warnings and instructions. Surprisingly, upon hearing the same voice, believers will have different reactions.

Since hardening is a slow process that is often accompanied by excuses and rationalizations, the danger signs may not be readily recognized. How do you respond when the Lord speaks to you through His Word, your conscience, or messages based on Scripture? Carefully consider the following characteristics of a hardening heart:

• Insensitivity or resistance to what the Lord says
• Refusal to put yourself under His authority
• Disobedience to what you know God is instructing you to do
• Justification of sinful conduct
• Resistance to the reproof of others
• Preoccupation with the things of this world (career, relationships, possessions)
• Little interest in spiritual matters
• Absence of private devotion (Bible reading and prayer)
• Avoidance of corporate worship (gathering with other believers)

A hard heart does not have to remain brittle. If you've discovered any of the above traits in your life, begin today to return to the Lord. Ask Him to give you a new heart and the desire to know Him. Remember, He specializes in making all things new

Jeremiah 24:7
“And I will give them an heart to know me, that I am the LORD: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God: for they shall return unto me with their whole heart.”

2 Cor. 5:17
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: the old has gone, the new is here”

IT IS WELL. GOD BLESS

honestly, I thought you are an atheist,thank you for your faith in God.

God is not bound to keep our time,That which does not come in your time, will be hastened in his time, which is always the more convenient season. He will
perform his word, honour our faith, and
reward them that diligently seek him.bible liken the patience and strength of a man as Eagle,why? Because if an eagle want to die he will flew to the topest of the mountain waited patiently until his time is up. An eagle only weight 4kg but can lifts and object of 20kg, His strength comes from his MIND.bible say;
Habakkuk 3:17-19
17
Though the fig tree does not bud
and there are no grapes on the vines,
though the olive crop fails
and the fields produce no food,
though there are no sheep in the pen
and no cattle in the stalls,
18
yet I will rejoice in the Lord,
I will be joyful in God my Savior.
19
The Sovereign Lord is my strength;
he makes my feet like the feet of a deer,
he enables me to tread on the heights.

Thank you.
