- 0:24Speaker 1: It's on you.
- 0:27Speaker 2: You know.
- 0:29Speaker 3: I think I want to share this with you something
- 0:31Speaker 3: that I was thinking and dealing with recently, and it
- 0:35Speaker 3: has to do with gratitude.
- 0:38Speaker 2: I just realized something.
- 0:41Speaker 3: I went through a period of time where I was
- 0:43Speaker 3: asking God for so many things, and I know people
- 0:47Speaker 3: out there that listening to me, going with you ought
- 0:49Speaker 3: to be grateful for what you got. Well, see, I'm
- 0:52Speaker 3: human now and I'm just having a human moment with
- 0:55Speaker 3: you to share with you what was actually going on.
- 0:58Speaker 3: I had gone through a period and maybe some people
- 1:00Speaker 3: can relate to this. I was just had so many requests,
- 1:03Speaker 3: so many things I wanted to see happened, so many
- 1:06Speaker 3: things I wanted to see differently to start working. So
- 1:11Speaker 3: many plans I had made, so many goals I had
- 1:14Speaker 3: set that I was just constantly in search of the
- 1:18Speaker 3: answer to those prayers, and I wanted God to pick
- 1:23Speaker 3: up the pace. I wanted him to speed up this
- 1:26Speaker 3: prairie request because this request has been going on for
- 1:29Speaker 3: quite some time, and I'm actually I've drawn, I've grown
- 1:33Speaker 3: weary of waiting. But a funny thing happened in my
- 1:38Speaker 3: quest a lot of requests I was asking. He started
- 1:44Speaker 3: letting some things happen to me that would force me
- 1:48Speaker 3: to look at some things differently.
- 1:50Speaker 2: So like, for example, if I was asking.
- 1:53Speaker 3: God to help me with my health, I want to
- 1:55Speaker 3: lean out. Then what he did was he actually allowed
- 1:59Speaker 3: some things that happened that would cause me to have
- 2:01Speaker 3: to focus on my health that would bring about the
- 2:05Speaker 3: necessary things that would help me to lean out. But
- 2:10Speaker 3: he had to take me through the fire. Everything you
- 2:13Speaker 3: want is on the other side of comfortable. So you know,
- 2:16Speaker 3: I was comfortably eating whatever I wanted to do. I
- 2:19Speaker 3: was comfortably having ice cream, comfortably eating dessert, comfortably eating pasta, bread, butter, sugar,
- 2:26Speaker 3: ice tea, whatever I wanted to do. But what I
- 2:29Speaker 3: wanted to start letting in better shape was on the
- 2:32Speaker 3: other side of that. I had to get out my
- 2:34Speaker 3: comfort zone. So I had a couple of health issues,
- 2:38Speaker 3: and it caused me to come home and start focusing
- 2:40Speaker 3: on it. But it also made me come home and
- 2:43Speaker 3: realize that on top of all the stuff I was
- 2:47Speaker 3: asking God for, Hey, Steve, had you forgot what he's
- 2:51Speaker 3: done for you? Have you forgot to constantly keep the
- 2:56Speaker 3: praise of gratitude on your lips for what He's done,
- 3:01Speaker 3: because don't get so wrapped up and caught up and
- 3:03Speaker 3: you forget the what you got.
- 3:06Speaker 2: And that's what it happened to me.
- 3:08Speaker 3: I was so deliberately praying because I think I was
- 3:11Speaker 3: being faithful right by pray without ceasing. So I thought
- 3:14Speaker 3: I was doing the right thing by constantly talking to him.
- 3:17Speaker 3: But I was constantly talking to him about wanting more.
- 3:20Speaker 3: And then what I was failing to do in that
- 3:23Speaker 3: human moment of mine was I was failing to ever
- 3:27Speaker 3: be ever grateful for everything that I have. So he
- 3:30Speaker 3: caused me to have to come home and sit down
- 3:34Speaker 3: because now you got these health issues you got to
- 3:36Speaker 3: deal with, So now you got to sit still. But
- 3:39Speaker 3: while you're sitting still dealing with these health issues, I
- 3:43Speaker 3: want you to take a look around at what I'd done.
- 3:46Speaker 3: So I'm asking all of you today, have you taken
- 3:49Speaker 3: time to really realize, with all that you pray, request
- 3:54Speaker 3: you have for God, with all of your wants, ambitions,
- 3:57Speaker 3: aspirations and goals, to take our time every single day
- 4:03Speaker 3: to thank Him for what you have, to thank him
- 4:06Speaker 3: for what he's already done. And I was just guilty
- 4:10Speaker 3: of that. I just wasn't really doing it the right way.
- 4:14Speaker 3: And I just wanted to remind everybody to not lose
- 4:17Speaker 3: sight of what you have in the quest for what
- 4:20Speaker 3: you want. It's a it's a it's a it's a
- 4:23Speaker 3: thin line between being grateful and trusting and and and
- 4:28Speaker 3: and showing gratitude because in the in the trusting that
- 4:32Speaker 3: he'll make your dreams come true and everything, don't forget
- 4:36Speaker 3: to thank him for what he's already done. I was
- 4:38Speaker 3: guilty of that, And I just want to remind you
- 4:40Speaker 3: all every day, every day to show gratitude. Steve Harvey.
- 4:45Speaker 3: Every day show gratitude, Steve Harvey. Do not wake up
- 4:50Speaker 3: in the morning without putting your feet on the ground
- 4:52Speaker 3: saying thank you for everything He's done for you. Don't
- 4:55Speaker 3: let your eyes close at night without thanking him for
- 4:59Speaker 3: that day, and and all through the day, just say
- 5:02Speaker 3: thank you.
- 5:02Speaker 2: Now you can put your request in, but if.
- 5:05Speaker 3: You had a gratitude in the morning, throughout the day,
- 5:07Speaker 3: and at night, I think those requests are a little
- 5:11Speaker 3: bit more in line. That's what I found for myself.
- 5:14Speaker 3: Hope that helps you out today. If it don't, we'll
- 5:17Speaker 3: be back here tomorrow. God willing with something else that
- 5:20Speaker 3: maybe it will. Y'all, have a great day today, Spend
- 5:23Speaker 3: some time loving people. Talk to God today. He would
- 5:28Speaker 3: absolutely love to hear from you. Take care of yourself,
- 5:32Speaker 3: don't over indulge, and take care of your health, y'all.
- 5:36Speaker 3: Two most important things we have is our health and
- 5:39Speaker 3: our time with you. Out of either one of them,
- 5:41Speaker 3: you in trouble. Take care of your health, everybody, and
- 5:44Speaker 3: be grateful. Those are my closing aggs. Okay, Peace.
