- 0:09Speaker 1: Digny one and only Steve Harvey got the radio shows.
- 0:14Speaker 1: Thank God for it all the time too. Well, here
- 0:17Speaker 1: we go today. I want to share something with you
- 0:21Speaker 1: that will help you because it's helped me. You know.
- 0:25Speaker 1: I was telling the story once that in this magazine
- 0:31Speaker 1: called Rob Report, that there was a statue I used
- 0:35Speaker 1: to see for years. I started buying Rob Report magazines
- 0:40Speaker 1: years ago. So I just wanted to see what affluent
- 0:43Speaker 1: people did, you know, just wanted to see what people
- 0:47Speaker 1: with means did, what type of investments they did, what
- 0:50Speaker 1: they bought, you know, where they traveled. To the Rob
- 0:53Speaker 1: Report it's just like a it's like a big boy
- 0:57Speaker 1: toy magazine. You can see what cars is out. And
- 1:00Speaker 1: I didn't have money for none of it. Just I
- 1:02Speaker 1: was dreaming, though, you know, I just wanted to see.
- 1:05Speaker 1: And there's a statue inside this magazine of this man
- 1:12Speaker 1: who was coming out of this bronze rock. And he
- 1:15Speaker 1: was completely bronze, and he was muscular, and you know,
- 1:20Speaker 1: he didn't look nothing like me, but he was a
- 1:22Speaker 1: man coming up out of a rock and he had
- 1:24Speaker 1: a huge hammer and a chisel in his hand, and
- 1:28Speaker 1: as his body from the waist up was coming out
- 1:30Speaker 1: of this huge piece of stone, you could see where
- 1:33Speaker 1: it was him who had been chiseling informing himself. So
- 1:37Speaker 1: the name of the statue was self made man. And
- 1:41Speaker 1: for years man, I said, Man, I'm gonna get a
- 1:43Speaker 1: big house one day, and I'm gonna put that statue
- 1:45Speaker 1: in the backyard in the corner. That's gonna be my
- 1:48Speaker 1: little spot where I go chill, because I'm a self
- 1:52Speaker 1: made man. Well, after years of working at becoming somebody
- 2:00Speaker 1: and having reached a degree of success, I would have
- 2:06Speaker 1: nothing to do with that statue. There's nothing about that
- 2:10Speaker 1: statue that appeals to me anymore. Because on my journey
- 2:14Speaker 1: and in my quest to become what I thought would
- 2:18Speaker 1: be this self made man, where I could put this
- 2:20Speaker 1: statue and had this statue in the corner be kind
- 2:23Speaker 1: of cold symbolizing it, I had made it. I realized
- 2:26Speaker 1: on my journey there's no such thing as a self
- 2:30Speaker 1: made man. That we all need help, and that God
- 2:34Speaker 1: places people in our paths along the way that benefit
- 2:40Speaker 1: us oftentimes, and it's the most unlikely person often times,
- 2:44Speaker 1: and it's the most unlikely way that he presents these
- 2:48Speaker 1: people in front of you. It's crazy how he does it. Man.
- 2:51Speaker 1: And so this is a statue now that I look
- 2:54Speaker 1: at and I go, I see what the creator was saying.
- 2:57Speaker 1: And that's cool, but not for me, because I needed help.
- 3:03Speaker 1: And I've learned a lot of things like this along
- 3:06Speaker 1: the way. And the part I wanted to share with
- 3:09Speaker 1: you all about this is you've got to develop You've
- 3:14Speaker 1: got to develop a sense of purpose. You have to
- 3:18Speaker 1: develop a sense of purpose. That's different. See, your purpose
- 3:25Speaker 1: is created for you by God. Because when He created
- 3:31Speaker 1: you as an individual from whatever two parents you may have,
- 3:34Speaker 1: that's not important here. When he created you, he had
- 3:39Speaker 1: something in mind for you, and it was a purpose.
- 3:43Speaker 1: God has not created a single soul to become a criminal.
- 3:48Speaker 1: God has never created a single soul to be a
- 3:50Speaker 1: drug dealer. This came about through some decisions we made
- 3:55Speaker 1: as sinners, and we stayed in that place. But see
- 4:00Speaker 1: what He created us. He has a wonderful idea for us.
- 4:05Speaker 1: But God gives us human beings this thing called choice,
- 4:08Speaker 1: and we have the power to decide. So you could
- 4:11Speaker 1: decide if you're going to adhere to the purpose that
- 4:14Speaker 1: God created you and made you for. Or you can
- 4:17Speaker 1: go ahead and make some choices on your own. So like,
- 4:21Speaker 1: if God wanted to give you a life and give
- 4:23Speaker 1: it to come to you and give you life more abundantly,
- 4:25Speaker 1: and that's his promise. If you come to him, if
- 4:28Speaker 1: you choose him, then cool. But if you say, well
- 4:32Speaker 1: this ain't moving along fast enough, I'm gonna get my
- 4:35Speaker 1: own life of abundance, I'm gonna start slinging. Well, guess
- 4:38Speaker 1: what now, Tada, You made a decision and seek God's
- 4:43Speaker 1: decisions and choices. The one thing I learned about them,
- 4:46Speaker 1: God's decisions, choices, his voice, it has no sin in it.
- 4:51Speaker 1: And it amazing how many people it came up to
- 4:52Speaker 1: you and said, the Lord wanted me to do this
- 4:55Speaker 1: to you, and I'm doing it. That God is punishing you,
- 4:57Speaker 1: and I'm doing this to you because God gon see
- 5:00Speaker 1: that you get your day. Who is this person? Who
- 5:04Speaker 1: is this person that God all of a sudden gave
- 5:07Speaker 1: this authority and power to God didn't get at the nobody, man, nobody.
- 5:11Speaker 1: This person only had the right to hold you to
- 5:14Speaker 1: your past, the right to make you pay. So who
- 5:18Speaker 1: makes them pay when they make mistakes because they all
- 5:21Speaker 1: make them. So when I say you have to have
- 5:24Speaker 1: a sense of you have to develop a strong sense
- 5:27Speaker 1: of purpose, that means you have to strongly get in
- 5:29Speaker 1: touch with your creator to find out what the purpose
- 5:32Speaker 1: you were created for. See, it's two things that I
- 5:36Speaker 1: had to learn along the way. My career was what
- 5:39Speaker 1: I was paid for. My calling is what I was
- 5:44Speaker 1: made for. See, it's two different things, folks. It took
- 5:48Speaker 1: me a long time to learn it. Some people think
- 5:51Speaker 1: that they calling is to be a performer. Well, that's
- 5:55Speaker 1: what you paid for, and a big part of your
- 5:58Speaker 1: life is your performance. It's time directly to your gift.
- 6:01Speaker 1: But what you made for, though, what you made for,
- 6:05Speaker 1: is to bring about some significant change in another human
- 6:09Speaker 1: beings lives because we are all linked together in this chain.
- 6:13Speaker 1: That's what you are here for. Everybody has a purpose
- 6:16Speaker 1: to do something wonderful, meaningful, or impactful for another person.
- 6:22Speaker 1: You think the God that invented the airplane was merely
- 6:26Speaker 1: inventing the airplane so he could fly. Now, his purpose
- 6:32Speaker 1: was to become an inventor, to come up with this
- 6:34Speaker 1: invention so he could fly and we all fly. See,
- 6:38Speaker 1: sometimes God will make you successful, so you can become successful,
- 6:42Speaker 1: so you can turn around to teach other people how
- 6:44Speaker 1: to become successful. God save people, so you can turn
- 6:48Speaker 1: around it tell other people how wonderful it is to
- 6:50Speaker 1: be saved. You see how this thing work. That's what
- 6:54Speaker 1: we have to do as people. And it's nothing that
- 6:57Speaker 1: we have to go and discover. We have to go
- 6:59Speaker 1: and develop. But if you haven't discovered your purpose, it's
- 7:02Speaker 1: simply because here's it. If you haven't discovered your purpose,
- 7:07Speaker 1: it's simply because you have not contacted the creator and
- 7:13Speaker 1: maker of your soul to ask and find out why
- 7:19Speaker 1: you were created. It's as simple as that. If you
- 7:25Speaker 1: buy a Toyota, there's an owner's manual on the inside
- 7:30Speaker 1: that will tell you everything you know, how to best
- 7:34Speaker 1: operate your toyota, how to make it work, how what
- 7:38Speaker 1: to do? They got a troubleshooting section. Your faith is
- 7:42Speaker 1: the same thing as an owner's manual in your car.
- 7:46Speaker 1: Open up that book, man, find out how to jumpstart
- 7:50Speaker 1: your life, how to troubleshoot it and get on with
- 7:53Speaker 1: your life and find out your purpose and develop a
- 7:56Speaker 1: strong sense of purpose. All right, okay, here listen means
