Speaker 1 (00:00):
Come on, uh huh, I sure will. Good morning everybody.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
You're listening to the voice, Come on, dig me now
one and on that Steve Harvey got a radio show.
Well all right, I've learned something and it's sharing time.
And I am ever appreciated. I do appreciate God for

(00:29):
all that he allows me to learn in my life. Well,
one of the best lessons I've learned is that hardship
teaches you some great lessons. Challenges brings about some of
my best results. I think what I'm trying to say

(00:51):
is in every challenge, in hardship, every setback, I've learned something.

Speaker 1 (00:59):
So that's so valuable.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
So here's here's what I've You know, I've known this,
but I've just learned it at a different angle. Appreciation
and gratitude is the key to having more.

Speaker 1 (01:16):
Now.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
I don't know how that sound to you, but I
can't tell you how true it is. God being fair
and just as he really is.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
He really is. He's a fair and a just God.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
What's most beneficial to us is he happens to be
full of mercy and grace. And I'm telling you something, man,
I've probably benefited from his grace and mercy more than
anything else. I mean, really, man, if it wasn't for

(01:55):
him just forgiving me, and then for him just touching
my life the way he has, I mean, I'm not
here in this position today.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
I'm just not.

Speaker 2 (02:09):
But a funny thing has happened along the way, even
to you. If you look at it, is it your
genuine appreciation and gratitude has been the key to you
having more for your continued blessings and for making room
for Heaven to open up and pour out blessings that

(02:31):
you don't have room enough to receive. If you look
at it, see God being affair and just God, which
he is, Why would.

Speaker 1 (02:39):
He put more on you than you can bear?

Speaker 2 (02:45):
If you've noticed everything that's happened in your life, if
you're still here, you've made it. You know, forget how
rough it was, got that, but you made it. Forget
what it sent you through, and it hide you feel.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
You made it. Now.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
What makes people give up, and you hear about people
committing suicide is they leave the God out of their
life and they start allowing that other voice to control.
And if it's really true that God never puts more
on you than you can bear, as long as you
stay connected to God, you can get through anything. But
you lose that connection, you lose that communication, you lose

(03:31):
that relationship with him. If you're not having a relationship
with God, then who you having a relationship with? Now
it ain't but two forces at work at all time.
It's good and evil. It's positive and negative is God,

(03:51):
it's Satan. Now, this is at work all the time.
So if you're not being positive about everything, you leave
room for negativity to step in. If you're not trying
to be righteous in your way, then you allow evil
to step in. If you don't work on your relationship

(04:12):
with God. Come on, now, look who you're letting step in.
So now I'm asking you to understand that God never
puts more on you than you can bear. Okay, now
that we got that clear, that's a fact. Okay, Now
with that fact in mind, let's go over this right here.
Why would God, being as just and merciful as he is,

(04:37):
put more on you than you can bear? Example, if
God has given you blessings and all you're doing is
complaining about him, you're never showing any appreciation of gratitude
about it, why would he give you some more stuff
to be ungrateful for why would he give you some
more stuff to complain about?

Speaker 1 (04:58):
Why would he give you some more stuff that you
would not show any more appreciation for. I mean, this
thing is real simple, man, ain't it? If you think
about it?

Speaker 2 (05:06):
So A lot of times, man, when I was going
through my positions of not having and wondering at all
like her, I ended up checking myself and going, man,
I'm not even showing any gratitude or appreciation for the
things he has done for me. Start showing some appreciation
and gratitude, because it's the key to having more. It's
the key to continued blessings. It's the key to the

(05:28):
wonders of heaven opening up and pouring out a blessing
that you won't have room enough to receive. It's the
appreciation and gratitude of what you already have, as minimal
as it.

Speaker 1 (05:41):
May appear to be right now for you, it is
still what you have.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
But if you've shown no gratitude for the minimal, why
would he give you the maximum? I mean, I'm just
really just trying to put it real, real simple, so
I can keep understanding this thing right here. So let
me give you an example in my life. I had

(06:08):
gotten so busy at one point that I had began
to complain about how busy I was. This is true
because I am busy, but it ain't the busy part
because I asked to be busy, you know, I asked
God to give me opportunities and to.

Speaker 1 (06:29):
Make a way for me.

Speaker 2 (06:30):
Well, in that, you got to do something, and you
got to get busy. But I began to complain about
the busyness and how busy I was, and I noticed
that a couple of things slowed up for me. So
I had got to the point where I wasn't showing
real gratitude for it. Well, I looked up and a

(06:50):
couple of things started slowing down. And then I had
to catch myself, and I went, wow, man, you have
got to start embracing the fact that you are busy,
embrace the fact that what all comes along with it.
Because to whom much is given, much is required. You
gotta start embracing the requirement part if you want to

(07:11):
continue with the giving part.

Speaker 1 (07:14):
So I changed my attitude.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
I caught myself, and I started thinking them and showing
real gratitude for how busy I was, instead of complaining
about how busy I was, and then guess what, It
opened up the windows of heaven and some more blessings
got poured out. It just works that way all the time,
for everybody, for me, for you, for everybody. So listen,
y'all again. Your appreciation and gratitude is the key to

(07:38):
having more. Your appreciation and gratitude is the key to
continued blessings, and your appreciation and gratitude is the only
way that you can get those windows of heaven to
open up and pull out these blessings that you won't
have room enough to receive. You got to act like
you're glad for what you've got in order to get more.
You feel me, let's go here at the Steve
