  Speaker 1: Come on, uh, I sure will. Good morning everybody you
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: are listening to the voice, Oh, come on, dig me now,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: one and only Steve Harvey Man got a radio show,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: borl bor Oh boy, I can't even tell you. Man.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: I've been doing some thinking and and one of the
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: things that I wanted to mention today to you as
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: one of the principles of success, being grateful at all
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: times is difficult to do. Being grateful at all times
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: is very difficult to do. I find that to be
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: true with myself. Now there are others that might be
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: able to do it, but just from talking and listening
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: and living and learning, being grateful at all times is
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: difficult to do. But it's necessary because it's such an
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: act of faith in knowing that no matter what's going on,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: it's going to be alright. And it's hard to see
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: that when things are not going in your favor, when
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: things have turned so dramatically the other way, and it
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: seems as though you're the only one in the situation
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: where you're involved with other people, or someone got an
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: accusation against you falsely, or somebody trying to do something
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: to you unjustifiably, whatever the case may be. When it's
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: happening to you. It does appear to you that, oh,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: my goodness, man, this is horribly one sided. So it
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: is difficult. It's hard to do to be grateful at
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: all times, but it's so necessary. And I just want
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: to point out a couple of things to you. First
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: of all, the difficulty in being grateful in hard times
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: is that number one, the present circumstances. Oftentimes it's just
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: so pressing and so overwhelming that a lot of your
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: energy is devoted to trying to come up with the
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: solution for that, or trying to muster the strength to
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: whether the storm, or trying to just brace yourself to
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: try to get through it, and in doing that, you don't.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: It's hard to be grateful. It's hard to be grateful
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: in pain, and I know it is. But here is
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: the trick for me. This is what I've had to
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: learn how to do, and I guess it takes practice
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: to get here. It's not nothing you just start doing
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: right away. You got to practice it in small increments
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: to really get it. What I've always had to say
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: to myself and what I've learned to say to myself
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: is this is happening to me because God is working
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: me through something. This is happening to me because it's
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: some form of tests that I have to pass in
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: order to graduate to the next grade, and that in
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: order to be allowed to move to the next level.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: This is happening to me because there's something I need
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: to purge my life, of my body, of my spirit,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: of something's purging in me. And when you purge something,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: it's it's painful. You know, it's like a person getting
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: off drugs. The withdrawal is agonizing. I've been told and
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: every documentary I've ever watched it it's an agonizing process
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: to go cold turkey, to withdraw, to pull away after
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: you've been doing something so long. And so I know
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: that this process is tough when you're going through some pain.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: But when you're purging yourself system, when you're when you're
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: when you're having to pass a test, when you're about
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: to make when when you're being made ready for the
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: next level, that moment right in there, in realizing that
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: that's what's happening, that's where you find the gratitude. That's
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: where I found the gratitude. I hope I'm explaining this correctly.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep trying until I get it. But that's
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: where you find the gratitude. The second part of it
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: is is that God has never left me in all
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: the things I've done, in all the mistakes I've made,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: all the lies I've told, all the situations I've gotten
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: myself into from being greedy and wanting too much for
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: me at the expense sometimes of other people, not doing
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: it deliberately or in a vindictive way, because I've never
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: had that. I'm not a vindictive or mean person, but
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: sometimes in my life, in wanting to do what I
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: wanted to do, I didn't totally weigh out the cause
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: and effect of the other person. I mean, can I
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: just be real with you with that? I mean, how
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: many times we'dne all done that? Look, it doesn't It
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: don't make you a bad person. You know, good people
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: do bad things all the time. I just happened to
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: have come to the realization that unknowingly and and not
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: and not with malice intent towards a person, I've hurt
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: people looking at something I wanted to do without really
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: looking at what the cause and effect would be on
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: the other person. So in doing some of these things,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: I've created situations for myself. But God, through his grace
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: and mercy, has allowed me to even get beyond that.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: So what I'm saying that God has never left me
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: in spite of myself. He's always gotten me through. So
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: that's the other part of it too. See that no
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: matter what you're going through, you've got to understand that
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: God has always gotten you through it now has any
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: Now that may not be the way you want it
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: or the way you liked, But guess what, you can't
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: do wrong and not pay for that. Now that that's
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: not how this works. That's never going to be the case.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: But the great thing about God is he fires warning
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: shots at us all the time. He gives us an
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: opportunity to stop. You know, He don't fully punish us
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: right away every time we do something wrong. Now does it?
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: You know eventually you're going to get caught doing whatever
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: it is you're doing. You do understand that, don't you.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: But the first time, that close call, that was a
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: warning shot for you to stop. Look, I know you're
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: not perfect. I know we all sinn us down here,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: so I know you're gonna make mistakes. One time, I
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: know you was looking at her when you weren't supposed to.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: I know you say I had something to him when
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: you wasn't supposed to. I know you got with her
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: when you know you wasn't supposed to. And I know
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: you got with him when you know you weren't supposed to.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: So I tell you what I'm gonna do. I'm a
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: fire warning shot, and maybe you'll slow your role this time.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: But we keep on though. See see, see that's what happens. See,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: we just keep on and then the next thing, you know,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: we get caught. Now, Oh Lord, have mercy. I won't
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: out of this. Yeah, well see you done dug this
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: hole pretty deep and he gonna get you out. But
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: it's some things that's got to go down now because
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: you didn't pay attention to the warning shot. See, had
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: you stopped the first time, you felt bad about it
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: and said you wasn't gonna do it no more, the
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: situation wouldn't be as critical. But because we don't stop,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: and we go again. But God always forgives, He always
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: allows us to get back up again. He always gives
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: us mercy, He always gives us his grace. He always
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: does that. Listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show
