  Speaker 1: Come come, uh huh, I sure will. Good morning everybody,

  Speaker 1: you all listening to the voice, Come on dig me now,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: one and only Steve Harvey got a radio show. I
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: thank God for it every day. I try to remember
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: that too, you know. I try to remember to be grateful.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: I think gratitude is one of the things that helps
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: keep me grounded. You can go as far as you
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: want in life. If you don't mind who gets the credit. Well,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: that applies to God too, don't it. I mean, you know, really,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: if you don't mind who gets the credit. I'm surrounded
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: by very competent people. I'm surrounded by a lot of
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: people who work hard on their jobs, on their career,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: who are dedicated employees and also just dedicated to their
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: families and you know, dedicated to their own set of aspirations.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: I don't expect anybody to work for me forever. I
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: always look at my job opportunities as stepping stones because
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: I want everyone around me really to aspire to be more.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's really the way I am. I'm not
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: any other way. I'm not trying to hold you to
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: this position, you know, tell you there's no room for
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: growth any of that. But even though I'm surrounded by
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: these people, I'm grateful that God placed them in my path,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: in my life, But in my mind, in my spirit,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: in everything in me, the credit still belongs to God.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, the credit still belongs to God. See if
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: you would, just for a moment, stop thinking about yourself,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: just for a moment. I know that's hard, but just
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: for a moment, stop thinking about yourself and realize that
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: maybe you are who you are because.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: God is who he is. Maybe that's the case.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Have you ever considered that that's the strongest possibility I
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: can give to you? You know, how do you think
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: you the one that made it through? How you think
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: you the one after all of the ignorant decisions we
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: have made? And oh my goodness, let's all be honest.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Ain't we made some crazy decisions I'm talking about man,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: I have made decisions so adverse to my destiny and career,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: my promises. I've made some decisions man, knowingly you hear me,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: knowingly do something wrong, And in spite of all that,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: I'm still here standing. Okay, come on now, really, really,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: all the dirt you'd bene done, everybody done dirt, all
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: the mistakes you've made you in the position you in
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: today because of what? Because you all that? Because you
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: work harder than anybody else. Look, I work hard, I'll
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: be I'll tell you in a minute.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: I work hard.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: But I don't think I'm the hardest working person out there.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure somebody done work way harder than I have.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: So okay, so you work hard? Okay, cool? I got
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: all that. But man, what about his grace and his mercy?
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: What about his favor? How many times man you done
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: relied on that even when you ain't know you was
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: relying on it? How many times man God done shown
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: you mercy? You ain't even deserve it? Do you know
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: how many things I've done wrong? I just ain't get
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: caught at it?
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: You know. Let me see how simple I can be.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: You speed, you Jaywall.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: You lie to police at least when you get pulled
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: over that you wasn't speeding. You go to court and
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: argue you wasn't speeding when you was. You make U turns.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: I'm just doing traffic violations. Now, let's get off traffic
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: for a second. Let's get on human violations. You talk
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: about people when you're not supposed to. You indulge yourself
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: in gossip, even when you don't really have all the facts.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: You pass judgment, You lust for people that don't belong
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: to you. You say things to people that you're not
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: supposed to say. So look, all of us, we all
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: were all guilty. Now see, I'm not saying you do
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: all of that, but I'm saying I'm pretty sure I
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: hit you somewhere in there, just somewhere in there. You
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: donet lied before you know you lied recently. I mean,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: come on, And I'm just saying so with all that
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: in mind. See, I'm just looking at the little things
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: that we do that we don't get busted for. Not
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: to mention the chips you stole when you was a
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: kid and nobody caught you. Well, that elevated, didn't it.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: And some of y'all just didn't stop stealing, And next
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: thing you know, you was in a car. Now you're
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: sitting somewhere you don't want to be sitting because of
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: a decision you made.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: But through his grace and mercy, couldn't it have been worse? Though?
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Without his grace and mercy, could not it have been worse?
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: I know two dudes that got caught in the garage
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: one time trying to break in somebody's house, and the
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: person in the house they broke into just happened to
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: have a gun and held them in the garage, caught
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: them and held them to the garage to the police car.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: That's Grace and Mercy right there, because they had all
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: full right to shoot these two people, but they didn't.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: They're Grace and Mercy. See, all of us have benefited
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: from his grace and mercy. All of us have done
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: a wrong, committed a sin, broken the law, and somehow,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: through his grace and mercy, got by, doing drugs, buying drugs,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: slanging drugs, doing something, got by, jumped on somebody for
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: no reason, got by, you know. So see how you
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: figure with all that that can go on in your life.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: And then hold on, let me throw a couple more
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: at you. You can't wake yourself up in the morning,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: mister big shot. You don't have the ability to control
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: the breaths that you take. Really, mister big shot, really,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: let's get real basic.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: With it now. You can't wake yourself up in the morning.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: That's favor, that's Grace, that's Mercy, that's him allowing you
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: to wake up just hoping we get it right. You know,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: God spared me through all the dirt I was doing,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: just hoping one day, Man, can you just straighten up
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: a little bit? When I finally straightened up, and I'm
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: gonna just say it straightened up a little bit. See,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: I ain't up all the way. Say I ain't gonna
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: sit here and tell you that I just straightened up
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: a little bit. He started blessing me. So the more
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: blessings I got start going, Man, maybe I'll try straighten
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: up a little bit more. So I straightened up a
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: little bit more. I still got a long way to go,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: but I'm straighter than I was now. When people judging
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: me and as they will, and they do because that
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: ain't right, but they do, and I ain't walking just
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: the way they walk.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: Then here come to criticism. I get it all the time.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Stop wanting credit all the time, and give out some
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: credit where credit is due instead of having somebody patting.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: You on your back all the time.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Why don't you tell God, tell people it was really
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: was God, man, that you don't really know how you
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: made it? That really man, you have no explanation for
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: your success, or you have no explanation why you still
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: exist in today. Why don't you tell somebody it was
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: God today. Don't be ashamed. It's the truth, ain't it.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: I mean, really, man, let's give God some credit here.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Give God the credit and the glory and the honor.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: And like that plaque said, you can go as far
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: as you want in life if you don't.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: Mind who gives the credit. All right, you're listening to
