Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, you know something. I was going over something the
other day as I prepare You know, the boys UH
have arrived at the minering camp. Oh yeah, and it's
a whole new set of young minds that will try
to have an effective change on UH. I always incorporate

(00:20):
a spiritual element in all of my talks with the
young men. I found that there are quite a few
young men who have church backgrounds, and you know, so
it always has an interesting twist to it. And then
there are some who have no idea what I'm talking about,
and I have to fix the verbiage to fit somebody

(00:44):
who doesn't understand I'm saying that to say all this
that I will always always continue the spiritual component to
my camp because I look back over my life, I
don't know how I would have made it without a
relationship with God. I really, I really really don't. I
don't know how I could have overcome the things I've

(01:05):
overcome without God's presence. You know, man, I'm so grateful
to have come to the point to understand that it
ain't really me. Now, let me give myself a little
bit of credit. Did I work hard? Yes? I did.
Did I never give up? I did? My best? Did

(01:26):
I give it my all? I dodne have my foot
to the gas pedal to the floor for a long
time now? Have I been in relentless pursuit of my
dreams and aspirations? Yes? I have. Did I grit my
teeth when it was necessary? Did I put my fist
in the lower back and being at the knee and
take the brace's position and just hand it? Yeah? Have

(01:48):
I survived all my haters and they say ers? Yes?
Did I stay the course when I was offered directions
to go on another way? Yes I did. I did
all of that. But none of that, None of that
would have been possible without my relationship, without without with God,

(02:09):
without God tucking me under his wings and protecting me. Man,
when I needed It's so bad when I didn't have
nobody to call, when nobody really knew what I was
going through. God was there when I had turned my
back on God. God never turned his back on me
when I walked the other way. God just stayed close

(02:31):
by because he just kept trying to get my attention,
because He had a plan and a purpose for me.
Have you ever felt that way, y'all? Have you ever
felt like man? It's got to be more to my
life than this. Have you ever thought for a moment, man,
that there's got to be more to my life than
what's going on. If you're having that thought, that's caused.
It's what it is. And God is touching you. He's

(02:56):
tapping you on your shoulder, he's whispering in your ear,
giving you a gentle nudge. He's always there as a reminder. Man,
I've turned my back on God so many times and
walked the other way. He just said, all right, okay,
I need your attention, though, Steve, I need your undivided attention.

(03:18):
And because he gives us the power of choice, and
some of the decisions I was making got me in
a position. Or guess what, he had my undivided attention.
I'll tell you what, Man, when I was living in
that car for all in years, he had my attention. Then,
Oh he got it full blown. He got it. You
remember that time he stricken you and you had that

(03:38):
You remember when you had that health scare. He had
your attention then, didn't he didn't He remember when you
lost somebody that was real deal to you. He got
your attention, didn't he didn't He? You remember that time
you thought you weren't gonna make it. You ain't have
no answers, You ain't know what to do. He had

(04:00):
your attention, didn't he didn't. He remember when you made
that right turn and he told you go left, and
you made that right turn anyway, He got your attention,
didn't he didn't? He? See? You know what I'm saying
in all of this, We've always had a choice. We
are the only creatures that God gave the power of

(04:22):
decision too. We get to decide all day long. We
get to decide. But by God's grace and mercy, even
when you make the bad decision, He always did always
get you, man. And you know why it gets you
because his love is uncompromising. His love for you don't

(04:46):
come with conditions. He loves you in spite of your mistakes.
He loves you because He created you, and He has
a plan for you and as a plan for you
to prosper you. He just trying to get your attention, man,
so you can do some of the stuff he wants
you to to do. I tell you something, man, I've
learned some major lessons in my life. And one of

(05:07):
the reasons, man, I was just running from God I
was just running from God because I felt like it
was so much I wanted to do, so much I
wanted to be and if I go over there become
a Christian and honor God, I'm not gonna be able
to do it. And I read something one day that
struck me. It said, becoming who God created you to
be will cost you who you thought you were. And

(05:35):
that's what I was afraid of. Becoming who God created
you to be will cost you who you thought you were.
But it's worth it. Man. Everything I wanted to do
and and and and and and and and do and
and become was nothing compared to what God was working

(05:57):
on for me. God been working on on us for
a long time. Man, show would be nice to give
him your undivided attention before it's too late. Give God
your attention. Man, he got a good plan for you,
and I got news for you. It's way better than
the one you got. It took me a long time
to figure that out, but I'm sure glad I did.

(06:18):
Those are my close remarks today. Hope you got something
from it if you didn't try us again tomorrow, because
we're gonna try to do the same. Thank God will
y'all have a great day today. Talk to God. He'd
absolutely love to hear from it. For all Steve Harvey contests,
