TIME TO RETURN - Motivational

God is calling all day long return to me return to me the problem is though sometimes it's hard for us to hear the [Music] voice Hashem is waiting on your return Hashim awaits you more than we could possibly ever want to be close to God more than we could possibly ever want a loving and thriving relationship with him hasim wants with us but he made that there should be conditions the condition is that he says inside of the book of Hosea inside of Jeremiah return to me and I will return to you the prerequisite of Hashem coming and being with us and in our lives is that first we return to him that's the first part it's not that Hashem doesn't want to be with us it's not that Hashem wants this distance that we're having right now we create these distance from the mistakes that we make in our life okay whatever he says come back I want you to come back Shu return to me the problem is though sometimes it's hard for us to hear the voice that's telling us return to me return to me God is calling all day long sending hints nuggets different things RAB says he's always throwing things at a person in order for them to realize that hasem is speaking to them that God wants you to wake up and to realize that he's there but it's very very hard to hear the world is busy there's so much going on everybody has business people in the sports watching movies whatever you want to find there is what to distract you right now so it's very very hard for us to hear the call says Samuel it says that even during the time of Samuel the prophet that it was very very scarce for the word of God to be heard during those days meaning that it was not readily heard by people so the time that he got his prophecy he didn't even think that it was God calling him at that time it had been so rare so so he went over to Ay who was the Cohen who was also the judge of the people at that time and he told him after him coming to him three times he says go back he says I think that's Hashem speaking to you so even a great person such as Samuel during his time couldn't even recognize God so how much more so in this generation where we are in our times how much harder is it to hear the voice of God it's much harder but nevertheless God's not allowing that to get in the way he's still calling and he wants for us to return When a person makes a mistake the biggest issue over there isn't the mistake itself when a person sins person does something even if you do it deliberately doesn't matter at the point that you made whatever transgression that you made the biggest problem over there wasn't the transgression itself it was the fact that Hashem was forgotten about Hashem wasn't there Hashem was not present now number one if Hashem was there then you probably wouldn't have made the mistake for sure you wouldn't have made the mistake in the first place says know him in all your ways so if there's a way in which a person is and they don't know Hashem in that way then you're going to make a mistake this is the biggest thing number two the issue is is that we took our mind off of Hashem God calls for us to be clinging to him day and night when we wake up when we go on our way when we lay when we lay down at night God wants to be with us so those are already two mistakes so when a person does Chu them when they return to has Hashem says if you return to me I'll return to you what they're doing in essence is they're going back to the mistake they made whatever transgression is where hasem wasn't there and at the time that they're standing before hasem and they're making truth and they're making repentance at that time they're bringing God back to the place thus a person is able to turn that which was a transgression into a merit meaning that when a person stands on that final day before the Heavenly court and they open up the books when they look at that mistake because you stood there and you repented you brought Hashem back to the place it doesn't say sin over there it says reward Hashem loves us Hashem wants us Hashem loves us but he puts the ball in our court he says return to me and I will return to you [Music]
