do not be hard hearted

Today I am tired and frustrated and glad. I guess that this is the way life is for me. Now when I say this, it doesn't mean that life sucks or is bad. It just means that I feel many different things at the same time.

while I am writing this I am listening to a sermon by Bruce Cohen. His teaching has been a real blessing in my life. The title of the sermon is Uncle Fluffy. It is hard hitting and thought provoking. you can check it out at http://ia360633.us.archive.org/3/items/Beth_El/20100410-Congregation_Beth_El_of_Manhattan-Uncle_Fluffy-Lev9verse1.mp3

I need to hear the hard word of God. I need to be shaken up so that my heart will still turn towards the Lord. I would hate to be one of those who, in latter days, leaves the faith and leads others astray.

It is always a struggle to live in the world and not like the world. Sometimes I get so frustrated that I just want to give up. this week was like that for me. I still feel like walking away from it all. I am so tired of the fight.

But I would not want to be so stubborn that I choose something else other than God's way. I don't want to keep looking for the green grass on the other side, but to learn to be content with what God gives.

2 Kings 17:14 and 18:12 talks about how the people would not listen to what God has said. I want to be obedient and to follow Yeshua with all of my heart. I feel like everyone is just making up their own rules instead of being willing to follow God.

I need help so that I don't become bitter towards those who want to walk another path. Well listen to Rabbi Bruce and let me know what you think.

peace
