Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Steve, you ready to close out the show?
- 0:02Speaker 2: Yeah? You know what, man, it's something personal. I'm really
- 0:07Speaker 2: really learning more and more and more about forgiveness. I'm
- 0:12Speaker 2: just learning more and more and more about it. You know,
- 0:15Speaker 2: I've always known that forgiveness is for you, not so
- 0:20Speaker 2: much the other person. Bishop Jake said it best one time.
- 0:25Speaker 2: He say, not forgiving a person, it's like you drinking
- 0:29Speaker 2: a poison hoping that they die. And that's really what
- 0:35Speaker 2: it is when you forgive somebody. Well, first of all,
- 0:38Speaker 2: let me start with when you don't forgive somebody. Let
- 0:42Speaker 2: me tell you what happens when you don't forgive a person.
- 0:45Speaker 2: Every time they name come up, it stirs up something
- 0:49Speaker 2: in you, don't it. Every time you hear they name mention,
- 0:55Speaker 2: it does something to you. Every time you run across
- 0:58Speaker 2: a picture, it brings something, don't it. Every time you
- 1:02Speaker 2: hear another story about this person, blah blah blah, every
- 1:05Speaker 2: time you hear some news about them, every time you
- 1:08Speaker 2: hear they said something else about you, It just keeps
- 1:12Speaker 2: on bringing stuff up. Even when you sitting around on
- 1:16Speaker 2: your own. You imagine what you gonna say to them
- 1:20Speaker 2: when you see them? Oh? I know you do, because
- 1:26Speaker 2: I've been through it the exact same way, oh man.
- 1:31Speaker 2: Especially man, when somebody somebody do something to you that
- 1:36Speaker 2: ain't right and you know it ain't right. That's hard, man.
- 1:42Speaker 2: When somebody's sitting around lying on you and you know
- 1:46Speaker 2: the truth, but you, for whatever the reason, can't defend
- 1:51Speaker 2: yourself or wasn't there, wasn't available, or nobody asked you
- 1:54Speaker 2: about it. Hey, man, that's tough. And you sit up
- 1:59Speaker 2: and you talking about man, when I see so and so,
- 2:02Speaker 2: this is what I'm gonna say. I can't tell you
- 2:05Speaker 2: the hours I've wasted wishing I could run up into somebody,
- 2:14Speaker 2: hoping I see them somewhere, I mean, and I'm miles
- 2:19Speaker 2: and miles and miles away from this person I'm talking about. Man,
- 2:23Speaker 2: really got no chance of running up into them at
- 2:25Speaker 2: all all. And then they pop up again and they
- 2:31Speaker 2: do it to you. Here's the one that really hurts
- 2:33Speaker 2: your feelings. Have you ever had somebody do something to
- 2:36Speaker 2: you publicly, then see you privately, you know, do something
- 2:41Speaker 2: to you down on your job or something like that,
- 2:43Speaker 2: or at your little club or your bowling night, and
- 2:46Speaker 2: then privately they apologize to you and you say okay,
- 2:53Speaker 2: And then a little while later, they do the exact
- 2:56Speaker 2: same thing again. They back out in public, running their mouth.
- 2:58Speaker 2: You gonna wait a minute, man, I know the truth
- 3:01Speaker 2: about you. I really know when you see me face
- 3:05Speaker 2: to face, you a coward. I know that about you.
- 3:08Speaker 2: But soon as you get in front of somebody, soon
- 3:10Speaker 2: as the spotlight on you, here you come with a
- 3:12Speaker 2: brand new Has that ever happened to you? Yes, it has.
- 3:16Speaker 2: Somebody saying something to you down at the church, talked
- 3:19Speaker 2: about you. Then you confronted them. Forgive me, sister, forgive
- 3:22Speaker 2: me brother, and you do it. And then a little
- 3:24Speaker 2: later on they do it again. Okay, cool, I got
- 3:26Speaker 2: all that you gotta forgive them? Oh no, no, Steve,
- 3:32Speaker 2: I'm gonna tighten them up. No, man, let me tell
- 3:34Speaker 2: you what you're doing. You're doing the same thing I
- 3:36Speaker 2: was doing to myself. You wasting energy because guess what,
- 3:44Speaker 2: what did it really change? The stuff they said about you?
- 3:48Speaker 2: What did it really change? You've been moving on and
- 3:53Speaker 2: rolling on and just going on about your day. You
- 3:57Speaker 2: really man ain't lost a step because of that that rumor,
- 4:01Speaker 2: that untruth, that falsehood. You really didn't lose a step
- 4:05Speaker 2: at all. But you keep prohibiting the next step, because
- 4:13Speaker 2: you won't let go of something somebody did to you.
- 4:17Speaker 2: The Lord's prayer says, forgive us our trust passes as
- 4:21Speaker 2: we forgive those who trustpass against us, because we gonna
- 4:25Speaker 2: make a mistake too. Now it may not be that one,
- 4:27Speaker 2: but we're gonna have to go to God for something. Now,
- 4:30Speaker 2: God gonna reward us and give us something the same
- 4:34Speaker 2: way we give it out to other people. Plus, let
- 4:36Speaker 2: me tell you what I really had to learn about it.
- 4:39Speaker 2: When you don't forgive a person, you're blocking your blessings.
- 4:45Speaker 2: You blocking your blessings. A woman, an old woman that
- 4:50Speaker 2: I know who I just happened to be talking to
- 4:54Speaker 2: a relative. As she says, Steve, I'm so proud of
- 4:59Speaker 2: you you. I have watched you, I have watched God
- 5:04Speaker 2: bless you. I have watched God change your life. I
- 5:08Speaker 2: have watched you develop into a better person. I'm so
- 5:12Speaker 2: happy you met Marjorie. I can see so many things
- 5:15Speaker 2: in your life, she said. But let me tell you something,
- 5:18Speaker 2: young man. If you're holding on to anything that anybody
- 5:24Speaker 2: has done to you, let it go because you're blocking
- 5:29Speaker 2: your blessings. As blessed as you are, she said, I
- 5:32Speaker 2: bet you there's something you can't figure out why you
- 5:35Speaker 2: just can't get this next one to go through? And
- 5:38Speaker 2: I said, you know what, You're right. I've been wondering
- 5:42Speaker 2: why something taking so long, she said, because God ain't
- 5:45Speaker 2: gonna give it to you and to you forgive that person,
- 5:49Speaker 2: he said, because He don't want you to carry that
- 5:51Speaker 2: with you into the new level he gonna take you to.
- 5:55Speaker 2: In order to get to the next level, you gotta
- 5:57Speaker 2: let some stuff go to reach your full orbit in life.
- 6:02Speaker 2: You can't carry all the gas tanks. Some of them
- 6:04Speaker 2: gas tanks is empty and out of gas. They got
- 6:06Speaker 2: to fall off so the ship can get into full orbit.
- 6:10Speaker 2: Let it go so God can move you forward. That's
- 6:14Speaker 2: the best thing I've learned about forgiveness. And it's really
- 6:18Speaker 2: for you because that person right there really ain't about
- 6:23Speaker 2: lotted now. They really ain't, So why would you allow
- 6:27Speaker 2: them to affect you that way? Just think about it, y'all.
- 6:31Speaker 2: I have for myself, y'all, have a great day. Talk
- 6:35Speaker 2: to God today. He would absolutely love to hear from me.
- 6:37Speaker 2: All right, people.
