- 0:00Speaker 1: Come on, uh huh, I sure will. Good morning everybody,
- 0:06Speaker 1: y'all listening to the vote. Come on, jig me out
- 0:09Speaker 1: one and only. Steve Harvey got a radio show here,
- 0:12Speaker 1: you do. Steve Harvey got a radio show. But like
- 0:15Speaker 1: I said the other day, you got something too, though,
- 0:17Speaker 1: don't you. God done done something wonderful for you. You
- 0:20Speaker 1: just got to thank Him for it, you know, in
- 0:23Speaker 1: the midst of all that's going on in my life
- 0:25Speaker 1: and in your life. You know, I always use myself
- 0:29Speaker 1: as an example because well I mean that way. I
- 0:32Speaker 1: guarantee you one hundred percent I know what I'm talking
- 0:35Speaker 1: about here. Here's the situation, you know, with everything that's
- 0:39Speaker 1: going on in my life and all the things I'm
- 0:42Speaker 1: asking God for.
- 0:44Speaker 2: In the midst of.
- 0:48Speaker 1: Taxing and a very trying situation, that's very challenging for
- 0:52Speaker 1: me right now. Man, God just keeps on, keeps on
- 0:57Speaker 1: surprising me. He keeps doing things. And I want you
- 1:00Speaker 1: to look at your life, or for a second, let's
- 1:05Speaker 1: make two columns here. Let's make a column of all
- 1:09Speaker 1: the things you want from God. You know, just do
- 1:12Speaker 1: that throughout the course of the day, you know, you know,
- 1:14Speaker 1: run down the list of all the things you're asking
- 1:16Speaker 1: God for, all the things you're praying for, the things
- 1:19Speaker 1: you aspire to, what your dreams, your visions, whatever it is.
- 1:24Speaker 1: Just make a column a list of all those things.
- 1:28Speaker 1: Let's make three lists. And then the second list, I
- 1:30Speaker 1: want you to make a list of everything that you've
- 1:36Speaker 1: been asking God for. So I guess that could be
- 1:39Speaker 1: a little bit of the same. But this third list,
- 1:42Speaker 1: I want you to do a check off point. I
- 1:43Speaker 1: want you to do a make a list of everything
- 1:47Speaker 1: that God has given you that you've asked him for.
- 1:50Speaker 1: Just think about it like that for a second. I
- 1:53Speaker 1: may be explaining a little wrong right now, but I'm
- 1:56Speaker 1: gonna pull it together for you. Make a list of
- 1:59Speaker 1: everything you asking God for. Just just list it. You
- 2:02Speaker 1: know it's okay. It's a dream board. You can call
- 2:04Speaker 1: it that. I got one, it's a vision board. You know.
- 2:07Speaker 2: Everybody's got something you hope for. Make a list. Now.
- 2:11Speaker 1: I want you to make another list of everything you've
- 2:15Speaker 1: asked God for that He's given you already. See this
- 2:20Speaker 1: is a good list because sometimes and what I've been
- 2:24Speaker 1: guilty of and maybe you two in my request list
- 2:28Speaker 1: on my dream board, I keep focusing so hard sometimes
- 2:33Speaker 1: on the what I'm.
- 2:34Speaker 2: Yet to receive.
- 2:36Speaker 1: I keep focusing so hard on the what I hope
- 2:39Speaker 1: he gives me. I keep focusing so hard on the
- 2:43Speaker 1: things that I yet not fulfilled in my life that sometimes,
- 2:49Speaker 1: as he starts checking off my wish lists the things
- 2:53Speaker 1: I've asked for in the past that have come to
- 2:55Speaker 1: pass that he's given me, I sometimes, in praying for
- 3:00Speaker 1: what I want forget to thank him for what he's
- 3:04Speaker 1: done for me.
- 3:05Speaker 2: And I'm currently in the middle of that situation.
- 3:07Speaker 1: And this morning when I woke up, I really, man,
- 3:10Speaker 1: I just got on my knees this morning and I
- 3:12Speaker 1: quit tripping for a second.
- 3:13Speaker 2: I said, Man, hey, God, you know what I.
- 3:16Speaker 1: Really do need all them things I'm asking for, and
- 3:19Speaker 1: I'm really am believing that you're gonna give it to me.
- 3:22Speaker 2: But in the.
- 3:23Speaker 1: Meantime, though, Man, have I overlooked some important details here?
- 3:28Speaker 1: I had to really look at what he's done for me.
- 3:32Speaker 1: I mean, look, man, take yourself out of it personally,
- 3:34Speaker 1: and look, well, you can leave yourself in it however
- 3:37Speaker 1: you want to be. Some people can't do that, so
- 3:39Speaker 1: just leave yourself in it then. But man, I started
- 3:41Speaker 1: looking at the eyepart of me and I started looking
- 3:45Speaker 1: around at what's happening overall, Like, man, he has kept
- 3:49Speaker 1: my family together and in.
- 3:51Speaker 2: Spite of the attempts to tear it apart. I look
- 3:53Speaker 2: at all of that.
- 3:55Speaker 1: I look at how he's blessing my children with the
- 3:57Speaker 1: desires of their heart, which I pray for my kids.
- 4:00Speaker 1: I want my kids to have a better life than
- 4:02Speaker 1: I've had, I really really do. I don't want them
- 4:05Speaker 1: to take as long as it took me to get
- 4:07Speaker 1: it together.
- 4:08Speaker 2: I really really don't.
- 4:09Speaker 1: I'm trying to say, hey, man, if you go to college,
- 4:11Speaker 1: this is what you can be. Don't do like your
- 4:13Speaker 1: father did. Don't go three years drop I'll throw yourself
- 4:16Speaker 1: into a spiral. And then got to start to scratch
- 4:19Speaker 1: all over again, you know, and for the most part
- 4:22Speaker 1: so far, you know, they're doing quite well of it.
- 4:25Speaker 1: You know, you know they're getting kicked around a little bit,
- 4:27Speaker 1: but that's life. I started thinking of the blessings that
- 4:31Speaker 1: he's helped me overcome with some of the previous mistakes
- 4:35Speaker 1: I've made in relationships in my life. And then I
- 4:39Speaker 1: started looking about the things he's blessed me with that
- 4:42Speaker 1: I've been asking him for.
- 4:44Speaker 2: But since I've moved on from it. I forgot to
- 4:47Speaker 2: keep thinking because I got.
- 4:48Speaker 1: To always thank God for a roof over my head
- 4:51Speaker 1: because guess what, when I was asking for the roof
- 4:53Speaker 1: and I didn't really have it, then he gave me one.
- 4:56Speaker 1: Since he gave it to me, what, I'm just cool now,
- 4:58Speaker 1: I can't ever go back to him and go, hey, man,
- 5:01Speaker 1: I really do appreciate this roof over my head because
- 5:03Speaker 1: that was a time when I was living in a car.
- 5:05Speaker 2: But see, so every morning I wake up, I.
- 5:07Speaker 1: Gotta remember the fact that I have a home now
- 5:11Speaker 1: because I got to look back and go, man, that
- 5:13Speaker 1: was time, Steve, when you didn't have no home. But see,
- 5:16Speaker 1: we forget what God has done for us because in
- 5:20Speaker 1: our column, the won't column, the need column, we oftentimes
- 5:25Speaker 1: forget for the columns and the checkmarks that He's already
- 5:29Speaker 1: fulfilled in our life. You've got to take inventory every
- 5:33Speaker 1: now and then daily if possible. But I know, we humans,
- 5:37Speaker 1: we're not gonna do that. I don't. But you've got
- 5:40Speaker 1: to take inventory of your life to say, hey, what
- 5:44Speaker 1: has God done for me?
- 5:47Speaker 2: You know?
- 5:47Speaker 1: And remember something else too. Change is good, but change
- 5:52Speaker 1: is challenging. Accept the challenge that it is look, a
- 5:57Speaker 1: lot of you come up to me all the time
- 5:59Speaker 1: and say, Steve Man, thank you, man, boy, you in
- 6:02Speaker 1: the morning. Man, I really be needing that well, Like
- 6:05Speaker 1: I just said it a hundred times, but I'm gonna
- 6:07Speaker 1: say it again, y'all, I be needing it too.
- 6:10Speaker 2: You know, you understand, sometimes what God is dealing with
- 6:14Speaker 2: me is for me.
- 6:17Speaker 1: But now I'm in a sharing position where I can
- 6:19Speaker 1: open up and if I just if I just quit
- 6:22Speaker 1: being so about me and become a little bit more transparent,
- 6:26Speaker 1: I can maybe some of me that's happening to me
- 6:29Speaker 1: is happening to you, and you can see some of
- 6:31Speaker 1: this in me. That's why I use myself as an example,
- 6:33Speaker 1: because man, I'm catching it too, y'all.
- 6:36Speaker 2: I ain't perfect either.
- 6:38Speaker 1: So for those of you that come up to me
- 6:40Speaker 1: and say that, I want you to understand these these
- 6:43Speaker 1: talks in the morning, Man, this is important for me
- 6:47Speaker 1: because man, I need these conversations from God. I need
- 6:50Speaker 1: God to continue to strengthen me, to show me the
- 6:54Speaker 1: way to help me understand what's happening to me. And see,
- 6:58Speaker 1: as we've all those of you who have made the
- 7:01Speaker 1: decision to change to become a better person, a better woman,
- 7:04Speaker 1: a better boy, better girl, a better man. For those
- 7:07Speaker 1: of you who's made the decision to change, change is
- 7:09Speaker 1: a challenge, and accept the challenge because it's gonna come.
- 7:12Speaker 2: Because right out of that here come to haters.
- 7:15Speaker 1: Here they come people you don't even know, discussing your
- 7:18Speaker 1: life and your change. If God see you really really
- 7:22Speaker 1: mean what you say, in spite of what they say
- 7:25Speaker 1: about you, God will.
- 7:27Speaker 2: Raise you above the freight.
- 7:29Speaker 1: He'll keep promoting you, He'll keep blessing you, He'll keep.
- 7:33Speaker 2: Moving you up. He will use you as a show
- 7:36Speaker 2: off point. He'll show you off.
- 7:38Speaker 1: Man, He'll he'll make you look good the people man
- 7:42Speaker 1: who wish you'd fall all day long. And so to
- 7:45Speaker 1: all your haters, all your haters will end up just
- 7:47Speaker 1: watching you rise.
- 7:48Speaker 2: Man. They will watch you continue to grow. That's what
- 7:51Speaker 2: God will do for you. Man.
