Heart of sone or heart of flesh

Ezekiel 11:14-25
Most Israelites said they are far away from the Lord, the land their possession.
The Lord promised that I will gather you from the nations and bring you back from the countries where you have been scattered, and I will give you back the land of Israel again.
The Lord will remove from them their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh.
The God is not making a full end. The future lies with the exiles.
The glory of the Lord went up from within the city and stopped above the mountain east of it, then the vision went up from Ezekiel.
Why?
God drives out all the detestable things and the people live among it. But God has mercy to his people, he will bring them back from nations where they were exiled.
God not only bring them back but also give them a new heart - a heart of flesh, not stone heart, will listen to the words of God and do what I have listened.
Israel made a history shows to the world, let people know the Lord is mighty God with righteousness and mercy.
How?
The Lord hopes people repent from their sins and turn to Him. Is my heart belong to heart of flesh or heart of stone?
