A Hard Heart Grieves the Holy Spirit 
Michael Edwards

… "Is it lawful to do good or to do harm on the Sabbath, to save a life or to kill?" But they kept silent. After looking around at them with anger, grieved at their hardness of heart, He said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." And he stretched it out, and his hand was restored. Mark 3:4-5 NAS

Jesus is grieved by the hard unloving hearts of the Pharisees who placed the letter of the law above loving their neighbor.

Romans 13:8-10 tells us love is the sole intent, reason, and fulfillment for all of God's laws, the spirit of all of God’s laws.

For this, "YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY, YOU SHALL NOT MURDER, YOU SHALL NOT STEAL, YOU SHALL NOT COVET," and if there is any other commandment, it is summed up in this saying, "YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF." Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law. Rom 13:9-10 NAS

If a hard heart grieved Jesus, it grieves the Holy Spirit of God's Son we have been given. 

And because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying out, "Abba, Father!" Gal 4:6 BSB

Healing comes when we confess our hard heart, fix our eyes and thoughts on the love of God in Christ and His promises. We need to remember that God knows everything about us, is still for us and not judging us. He will never forsake us, and nothing can separate us from His love.

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor principalities, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Rom 8:38-39 BSB

A hard heart is not what we want, leading to sin, disease and blocking the voice of the Holy Spirit. If you have any sense that your heart is hard, cry out and embrace your Father's abundant love and healing right now. God desire's that you intimately know His love, walk in His peace, and love others as Jesus loves you.

Apart from love all we do comes to nothing, 1 Cor 13.
