  Speaker 1: Come on. Do your thing, Big Daddy. Uh-huh. I sure will.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Good morning, everybody. You are listening to The Voice. Come on.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Dig me now. One and only. Steve Harvey. Got a
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: radio show. Okay. I got something for you today.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: I'm going to have a conversation this morning about my
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: understanding of grace. Now that I've gotten older and I've
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: come into a better understanding of a lot of things
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: I didn't know about when I was younger. This is
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: just my interpretation of grace. Now, once again, y'all listen
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: to me. I ain't nobody's pastor. I ain't nobody's minister. So,
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: you know, I'm pretty sure you can go to church
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: and get a far more extensive definition of what I'm
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: giving you. I'm just talking to people. You know, grace
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: is this thing that God provides for us. And grace
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: is just things that you get that's really undeserving. You know,
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: I mean, I look at my life as it is today.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: You know, look, I work hard and I have faith
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: in God.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: That I do.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: So things are going to happen in my life. But
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: the way my life is now, I don't. I don't
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: deserve all of this. I don't look at it that way.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: I have been the beneficiary of God's grace. I have
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: aligned myself in a position to accept whatever grace God
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: has for me. And it will be far abundant and
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: exceedingly in anything you could think of. His grace supersedes
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: anything you could possibly imagine. You know, the goals that
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: I set and the aspirations that I shoot for and
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: the things that I have on my dream board, I
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: have the faith that God will.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Give it to me.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: But what he does with grace, he gives you far
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: more than that. He gives you what he has for you,
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: not what you can see. You can't see all he
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: has for you.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: It's impossible. Who are you?
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: How can you possibly imagine what he can imagine? How
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: can you possibly think how he can think? How can
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: you possibly do what he can do?
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: How can it be?
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: There isn't a single mind living or a collection of
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: minds that could have thought of Earth. What in your
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: wildest imagination could have made you think of Earth, the stars,
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: the heavens, the oceans, the galaxy, the constellations? What in
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: your mind? What in any man's mind? We can point
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: at it and analyze it, but we sure couldn't have
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: thought of it. So come on now. I'm talking about
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: lining yourself up. with God's grace, which he will give
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: to you if you want some of it now. But
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: now here's the thing about grace. It can't be bought.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: If it could be bought, I'm telling you, I would
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: pour all the money I have and dump it into grace.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Because after discovering.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: What it is, it's this goodness that God shines on
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: you simply as a reward of some type for his
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: love for you and for you attempting, for you attempting
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: to do right. Not because you get it right, because
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: if he judged us purely on how we are, the
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: right and wrong of it, we.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Would all be doomed. All of us.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Every last one of us would be doomed. Because we
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: all fall short. We all make mistakes. We all sin.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: We all get it wrong from time to time. Nobody's perfect, man.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: Now I understand what my mother was saying about cleaning
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: the house. All I want is a little more grace.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: All I need is a little more grace. When's the
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: last time you asked God for some grace? I'm not
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: talking to you like I know everything. If you just
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: benefit from his grace, which you already have, But if
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: you're not aware of it, you don't know what's going on.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Become aware of grace.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Get aware of the fact that God does things for
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: you simply because he loves you. He does things for
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: you that you don't even deserve. Somehow you just wonder
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: how you just got over when you didn't even do
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: the things to get over. Sometimes you don't even know
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: how you got that job you got when you ain't
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: even really do the things to get the job. How
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: you end up where you are? All this education you
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: thought you went and got and had. How you end
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: up where you are today? In a much better position
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: than your education could have ever gotten you. That's grace.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: How I get every place I am today. I didn't
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: plan this, man. If I could have planned my life
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: the way it is, don't you know I'd have done
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: it when I was living in that car? If I
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: knew how to do it, no, I benefited from his grace.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: I'm just a beneficiary of his grace, of his goodness
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: and his mercy. God's goodness is better than your goodness.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: God's goodness is better than your mother's goodness. It's better
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: than your wife's or your husband or your boo's goodness.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: God's goodness is different. His goodness, man, covers some stuff
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: you can't even imagine. So why are you trying to
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: put your life together when the last time you asked
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: him for just a little bit of grace? When have
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: you thought of your life in terms of the grace
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: that it has already benefited from? Have you ever done that? Man,
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: just thought about, you know, you hear songs like my
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: soul look back and wonder how I got over.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: That was grace.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: That's all I can call it. Now, like I said,
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: you can go to church or somewhere if you want to.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: And ministers that went to school to teach this thing
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: way better than me. I'm just giving you from a
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: layman standpoint, man. Have you thought about his grace? Would
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: you not be well to be a beneficiary of his grace?
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Would it not?
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: So now check this out. The better you try to do.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: The more grace he'll give to you. And that grace
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: can't be bought. Like I said, it's free. You can't
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: purchase grace. But the better you try to become, the
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: more grace he gets to put your way. So, man,
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: just try. Why don't you just try to do better? Look, man,
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: quit talking about it. I'm going to start next week.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: I'm going to start at the new year. No, you're not.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: You do that every year. At the new year, I'm
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: going to eat better. At the new year, I'm going
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: to go on and get in here. In the new year,
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: if you're going to do it, you're going to do
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: it now, man. You're going to do it now.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Stop trying. Do something. Do it. Stop talking about it.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Do it now.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: The best way to benefit from his grace is start
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: an action now.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: N-O-W. Now. Right now. Today.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: What you waiting on? All you doing is delaying his
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: opportunity to bless you. You know, do you know how
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: many times we do that? We delay his opportunity to
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: bless us by not starting now.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: If you're going to get healthy, why don't you start now?
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Now you're going to trip a little bit because the
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: holiday is coming, but you ain't got to eat bad
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: all the time.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: You could start eating correct today. You could. You could.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: And then guess what? There could be some grace on
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: the end of that. I'm just giving you a little
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: cheap analogy. But do you feel what I'm saying to you?
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: Start thinking in terms of grace. what he has done
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: for you and provided for you that you didn't even
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: see coming that, you know, you keep calling them blessings.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: And I got that a lot of it. Now it's
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: all it is. But man, have you thought about the
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: stuff that didn't.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Happen to you?
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: You can't account for you. I, for me, that's been
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: grace and I'm beneficiary of it. And that's available to
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: everybody that wants some. So next time you're talking to him,
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: just check in with grace.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: See what that is. That's, that's better than money. You're
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: listening to the Steve Harvey morning show.
