Speaker 1 (00:00):
Come on, uh huh, I sure will. Good morning everybody,
y'all listening to the vote. Come on, jig me out
one and only. Steve Harvey got a radio show here,
you do. Steve Harvey got a radio show. But like
I said the other day, you got something too, though,
don't you. God done done something wonderful for you. You
(00:20):
just got to thank Him for it, you know, in
the midst of all that's going on in my life
and in your life. You know, I always use myself
as an example because well I mean that way. I
guarantee you one hundred percent I know what I'm talking
about here. Here's the situation, you know, with everything that's
going on in my life and all the things I'm
(00:42):
asking God for.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
In the midst of.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Taxing and a very trying situation, that's very challenging for
me right now. Man, God just keeps on, keeps on
surprising me. He keeps doing things. And I want you
to look at your life, or for a second, let's
make two columns here. Let's make a column of all
(01:09):
the things you want from God. You know, just do
that throughout the course of the day, you know, you know,
run down the list of all the things you're asking
God for, all the things you're praying for, the things
you aspire to, what your dreams, your visions, whatever it is.
Just make a column a list of all those things.
Let's make three lists. And then the second list, I
(01:30):
want you to make a list of everything that you've
been asking God for. So I guess that could be
a little bit of the same. But this third list,
I want you to do a check off point. I
want you to do a make a list of everything
that God has given you that you've asked him for.
Just think about it like that for a second. I
(01:53):
may be explaining a little wrong right now, but I'm
gonna pull it together for you. Make a list of
everything you asking God for. Just just list it. You
know it's okay. It's a dream board. You can call
it that. I got one, it's a vision board. You know.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Everybody's got something you hope for. Make a list. Now.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
I want you to make another list of everything you've
asked God for that He's given you already. See this
is a good list because sometimes and what I've been
guilty of and maybe you two in my request list
on my dream board, I keep focusing so hard sometimes
(02:33):
on the what I'm.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Yet to receive.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
I keep focusing so hard on the what I hope
he gives me. I keep focusing so hard on the
things that I yet not fulfilled in my life that sometimes,
as he starts checking off my wish lists the things
I've asked for in the past that have come to
pass that he's given me, I sometimes, in praying for
(03:00):
what I want forget to thank him for what he's
done for me.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
And I'm currently in the middle of that situation.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
And this morning when I woke up, I really, man,
I just got on my knees this morning and I
quit tripping for a second.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
I said, Man, hey, God, you know what I.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Really do need all them things I'm asking for, and
I'm really am believing that you're gonna give it to me.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
But in the.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Meantime, though, Man, have I overlooked some important details here?
I had to really look at what he's done for me.
I mean, look, man, take yourself out of it personally,
and look, well, you can leave yourself in it however
you want to be. Some people can't do that, so
just leave yourself in it then. But man, I started
looking at the eyepart of me and I started looking
(03:45):
around at what's happening overall, Like, man, he has kept
my family together and in.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Spite of the attempts to tear it apart. I look
at all of that.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
I look at how he's blessing my children with the
desires of their heart, which I pray for my kids.
I want my kids to have a better life than
I've had, I really really do. I don't want them
to take as long as it took me to get
it together.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
I really really don't.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
I'm trying to say, hey, man, if you go to college,
this is what you can be. Don't do like your
father did. Don't go three years drop I'll throw yourself
into a spiral. And then got to start to scratch
all over again, you know, and for the most part
so far, you know, they're doing quite well of it.
You know, you know they're getting kicked around a little bit,
but that's life. I started thinking of the blessings that
(04:31):
he's helped me overcome with some of the previous mistakes
I've made in relationships in my life. And then I
started looking about the things he's blessed me with that
I've been asking him for.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
But since I've moved on from it. I forgot to
keep thinking because I got.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
To always thank God for a roof over my head
because guess what, when I was asking for the roof
and I didn't really have it, then he gave me one.
Since he gave it to me, what, I'm just cool now,
I can't ever go back to him and go, hey, man,
I really do appreciate this roof over my head because
that was a time when I was living in a car.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
But see, so every morning I wake up, I.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Gotta remember the fact that I have a home now
because I got to look back and go, man, that
was time, Steve, when you didn't have no home. But see,
we forget what God has done for us because in
our column, the won't column, the need column, we oftentimes
forget for the columns and the checkmarks that He's already
(05:29):
fulfilled in our life. You've got to take inventory every
now and then daily if possible. But I know, we humans,
we're not gonna do that. I don't. But you've got
to take inventory of your life to say, hey, what
has God done for me?
Speaker 2 (05:47):
You know?
Speaker 1 (05:47):
And remember something else too. Change is good, but change
is challenging. Accept the challenge that it is look, a
lot of you come up to me all the time
and say, Steve Man, thank you, man, boy, you in
the morning. Man, I really be needing that well, Like
I just said it a hundred times, but I'm gonna
say it again, y'all, I be needing it too.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
You know, you understand, sometimes what God is dealing with
me is for me.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
But now I'm in a sharing position where I can
open up and if I just if I just quit
being so about me and become a little bit more transparent,
I can maybe some of me that's happening to me
is happening to you, and you can see some of
this in me. That's why I use myself as an example,
because man, I'm catching it too, y'all.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
I ain't perfect either.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
So for those of you that come up to me
and say that, I want you to understand these these
talks in the morning, Man, this is important for me
because man, I need these conversations from God. I need
God to continue to strengthen me, to show me the
way to help me understand what's happening to me. And see,
(06:58):
as we've all those of you who have made the
decision to change to become a better person, a better woman,
a better boy, better girl, a better man. For those
of you who's made the decision to change, change is
a challenge, and accept the challenge because it's gonna come.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Because right out of that here come to haters.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Here they come people you don't even know, discussing your
life and your change. If God see you really really
mean what you say, in spite of what they say
about you, God will.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Raise you above the freight.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
He'll keep promoting you, He'll keep blessing you, He'll keep.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Moving you up. He will use you as a show
off point. He'll show you off.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Man, He'll he'll make you look good the people man
who wish you'd fall all day long. And so to
all your haters, all your haters will end up just
watching you rise.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Man. They will watch you continue to grow. That's what
God will do for you. Man.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
