Hard-Hearted

[Isa. 43:25] I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.
[26] Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified.
“You have been weary of Me,” says the Father. In the flesh, sometimes we regard serving and obeying the L-RD as a weary thing. We feel it is such a burden to serve G-d. We think we are so bad off following His ways, and feel so oppressed and afflicted. Sometimes people say, "I just need to take a break," and essentially mean that they need to take a break from the Father!
When we feel like this, it is certain evidence that we are not in step with G-d, and the true nature of His Son. He said, “ Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” (Matthew 11:28-30) If following G-d always seems like some great, weary burden - then you really aren't following Him.
G-d like this, it often shows in our giving, and in immorality (you have burdened Me with your sins). When they did bring offerings, they simply went through the motions of worship, and so G-d did not consider their empty sacrifices to be true sacrifices at all.]
G-d's people who felt "burnt out," burdened, and weary on G-d. G-d replies to them, "You feel burdened? You feel weary? Try being Me! You have burdened Me with your sins, you have wearied Me with your iniquities.”
What will G-d do with such a hard-hearted people? He will forgive them at the earliest opportunity. He will forget their sins. Despite all the sin and disregard for G-d, He still loves His people, and longs for their humble return.
Pastors and Scholars are of disobedience too: for their teachers had transgressed against G-d, were guilty of gross scandalous sins, and the people, no doubt, would learn to do as they did. It is ill with a people when their leaders cause them to err, and their teachers, who should reform them, corrupt them, I brought ruin both upon church and state. I gave them up to reproach, to correct them for what was amiss”. The dishonor which men at any time do us should humble us for the dishonour we have done to G-d; and we must bear it patiently because we suffer it justly, and must acknowledge that to us belongs confusion.
G-d says to His people, "Do you want to justify yourself? Then do it. Present your best case." But no matter what you say on you behalf, G-d has a stronger argument against you: Your first father sinned. "You are a child of Adam, and his sin has infected the whole human race, including yourself. You are sinner through and through from birth. Stop trying to justify yourself and humbly look to Me for salvation.”
"If you have any thing to say in your own justification, any thing to offer for the sake of which you should be pardoned, and not for My sake, put Me in remembrance of it. I will give you leave to plead your own cause with Me; declare what your merits are, that you may be justified by them."
