  Speaker 1: Come on. Do your thing, Big Daddy. Uh-huh. I sure will.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: Good morning, everybody. You're listening to The Voice. Come on,
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: dig me now. One and only, Steve Harvey. Got a
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: radio show.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Well, all right.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: I learned something. And it's sharing time. And I am
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: ever appreciated. I do appreciate God for all that he
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: allows me to learn in my life. One of the
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: best lessons I've learned is that hardship teaches you some
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: great lessons. Challenges brings about some of my best results.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: I think what I'm trying to say is in every
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: challenge and hardship, every setback, I've learned something so, so valuable.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: So here's, here's what.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: I've, you know, I've, I've known this, but I've just
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: learned it at a different angle. Appreciation and gratitude is
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: the key to having more. Now, I don't know how
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: that sound to you, but I can't tell you how
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: true it is. God being fair and just as he
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: really is.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: He really is. He's a fair and a just God.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: What's most beneficial to us is he happens to be
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: full of mercy and grace. And I'm telling you something, man.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: I probably benefited from his grace and mercy. More than
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: anything else, I mean, really, man, if it wasn't for
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: him just forgiving me and then for him just touching
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: my life the way he has, I mean, I'm not
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: here in this position today.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: I'm just not.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: But a funny thing has happened along the way, even
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: to you, if you look at it, is that your
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: genuine appreciation and gratitude has been the key to you
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: having more for your continued blessings and for making room
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: for heaven to open up and pour out blessings that
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: you don't have room enough to receive. If you look
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: at it, see God being a fair and just God, which.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: He is, why would he put more on you than
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: you can bear?
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: If you've noticed everything that's happened in your life, if
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: you're still here, you've made it.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: You know, forget how rough it was. Got that. But
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: you made it.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: Forget what it sent you through and how it made
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: you feel.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: You made it.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: Now, what makes people give up and you hear about
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: people committing suicide is they leave the God out of
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: their life. And they start allowing that other voice to control.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: And if it's really true that God never puts more
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: on you than you can bear, as long as you
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: stay connected to God, you can get through anything, but
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: you lose that connection. You lose that communication. You lose
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: that relationship with him. If you're not having a relationship
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: with God, then who are you having a relationship with?
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: It ain't but two forces at work at all time.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: It's good and evil. It's positive and negative.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: It's God. It's Satan. Now this is at work all
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: the time.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: So if you're not being positive about everything, you leave
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: room for negativity to step in. If you're not trying
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: to be righteous in your way, then you allow evil
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: to step in. If you don't work on your relationship
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: with God, come on now, look who you letting step in.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: So now I'm asking you, To understand that God never
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: puts more on you than you can bear. Okay, now
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: that we got that clear, that's a fact. Okay, now
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: with that fact in mind, let's go over this right here.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Why would God, being as just and merciful as he is,
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: put more on you than you can bear? Example, if
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: God has given you blessings and all you're doing is
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: complaining about them, you're never showing any appreciation or gratitude
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: about it. Why would he give you some more stuff
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: to be ungrateful for? Why would he give you some
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: more stuff to complain about? Why would he give you
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: some more stuff that you would not show any more
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: appreciation for?
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, this thing is real simple, man, ain't it?
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: If you think about it.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: So a lot of times, man, when I was going
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: through my positions of not having and wondering and all
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: like here, I ended up checking myself and going, man,
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: I'm not even showing any gratitude or appreciation for the
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: things he has done for me. Start showing some appreciation
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: and gratitude because it's the key to having more.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: It's the key to continued blessings.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: It's the key to the windows of heaven opening up
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: and pouring out a blessing that you won't have room
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: enough to receive. It's the appreciation and gratitude of what
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: you already have. As minimal as it may appear to
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: be right now for you, it is still what you have.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: But if you've shown no gratitude for the minimal, why?
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: Would he give you the maximum?
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm just really just trying to put it real,
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: real simple so I can keep understanding this thing right here.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: So let me give you an example in my life.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: I had gotten so busy at one point that I
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: had began to complain about how busy I was. This
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: is true because I am busy, but it ain't the
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: busy part. Because I asked to be busy. You know,
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: I asked God to give me opportunities and to make
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: a way for me. Well, in that you got to
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: do something and you got to get busy. But I
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: began to complain about the busyness and how busy I was.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: And I noticed that a couple of things slowed up
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: for me. So I got to the point where I
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: wasn't showing real gratitude for it. Well, I looked up
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: and a couple of things started slowing down. And then
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: I had to catch myself and I went, wow, man,
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: you have got to start embracing the fact that you
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: are this busy. Embrace the fact that what all comes
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: along with it, because to whom much is given, much
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: is required. You got to start embracing the requirement part
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: if you want to continue with the given part.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: So I changed my attitude.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: I caught myself and I started thanking him and showing
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: real gratitude for how busy I was instead of complaining
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: about how busy I was.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: And then guess what?
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: It opened up the windows of heaven and some more
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: blessings got poured out. It just works that way all
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: the time for everybody, for me, for you, for everybody.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: So listen, y'all, again, your appreciation and gratitude is the
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: key to having more. Your appreciation and gratitude is the
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: key to continued blessings. And your appreciation and gratitude is
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: the only way that you can get Those windows of
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: heaven open up and pull out these blessings that you
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: won't have room enough to receive. You got to act
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: like you're glad for what you got in order to
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: get more.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: You feel me? Let's go. You're listening to the Steve
