Speaker 1 (00:00):
Come on, huh, I sure will. Or good morning everybody.
You're listening to the voice I said, come on now,
dig me to one and only Steve Harvey got a
radio show. Okay, Now, I'm gonna be really honest with
you this morning. I really don't know what to say.

(00:22):
I really don't. I was sitting here and I was
thinking what do I say today. I do know that
I want to be encouraging, uplifting and inspirational in some
way to affect somebody today. Oftentimes, these conversations that I

(00:45):
have in the mornings, they're design with me because I
needed myself y'all, to be honest with you. I mean,
you know who makes the comedian laugh? I used to
say all the time. And even though what we talk
about in the morning is not a laughing matter, it

(01:07):
kind of like is who I am today? You know,
I need motivation in my life sometimes myself. I think
when I get in moments like this, I often resort
back to the same thing over and over and over.
And when I find myself in certain predicaments, I can

(01:32):
always fall back on the same thing over and over.
So while I'm sitting here trying to figure out what
to say, to you. The one thing that I did
do this morning that I find to be very consistent
in me is that I find myself grateful. I'm ever
grateful for the things that God has done for me.

(01:56):
I may not always know what to say, but I
know how to say thank you. I do. I know
how to remember and reflect back on where I come from.
I know how to realize where all my blessings come from.
I'm very very conscious of my journey that I've been on,

(02:20):
the one that was from then until now. That journey
right there is it's been. It's been, it's been. It's
been difficult, man, it really really has. I ain't gonna
lie to you me. Becoming successful was very difficult. But

(02:42):
as hard as this is to say, I really really
mean this. I wouldn't change nothing about the trip I've
been on. Number one, because I can't change anything about it.
So I never lived my life in regret. But the

(03:04):
main thing is was I discovered along the way now
not doing the process when you're going through rough moments
that you can't hardly see the good in it at
the time. It's just rough for you and it seems unexplainable,
and oftentimes I thought it was unfair, But as I

(03:24):
am now, I needed every single thing that happened to me,
that happened to me to happen to me. I hope
that makes sense to you. I needed everything to happen
in the exact order and the exact way that it
happened in order for me to be the person that

(03:47):
I've become. And that right there, man, is just very
comforting to me. Mister Jakes told me one time, he said,
the closer you get to God, the more friendly you
all become, the more He will reveal to you the

(04:09):
how it comes and what falls of a lot of
things that's happened to you. Because a lot of times
what troubles us is we just can't understand why we
lost that love one back then. We just can't understand
why we didn't get what we wanted back then. We
just don't understand how come our plan didn't work out

(04:29):
and we had to fail so miserably back then. We
don't understand the answers to these things. Well, the closer
I've gotten to God, the more those explanations have become
crystal clear to me. And see, the one thing that
I came to the realization everybody is that the things
that was happening to me, they weren't really all bad.

(04:52):
They really wasn't that they didn't taste good when it
was happening. I didn't enjoy what I was going through,
But as I look back on them and reflect now,
it wasn't all bad. Some of those things were so
necessary for me to get the information because See, I
don't know about you, but I'm kind of hard headed
and stubborn. I said, I don't know about you, but
I'm kind of hard headed and stubborn. I kind of

(05:16):
like to think that I know something about some things
every now and then, and the things I am convinced about.
I don't really really care for people trying to talk
me off mine. So I can be stubborn and hard headed.
Sometimes God knows that about me. So I think to
get some of the messages crystal clear through to me

(05:38):
that I needed to learn, that was this process I
had to go through. That process was my journey, It
was my trip. It was my woe, my pain. See,
everybody got them different, it don't matter what it is.
Everybody got a woe, everybody got a pain, everybody got
a trial, everybody got some tribulations. Everybody got some challenge.

(05:58):
I don't care who you are. Just quit looking at
me thinking that I got it going on, so tough man.
But if Steve, yeah, it's easy for you to say that,
but you ain't here. You don't know why. Ben, if
you would stop hanging yourself up on your past, worrying
about your woes and your troubles and the situation you in,
and start praying and start asking God to get you

(06:21):
through it. See a lot of times you messed it.
You messed the message up yourself. Because when you're going
through some stuff, you ask God to remove it and
take it away. That ain't the lesson. You got to
learn your lesson Sometimes it's got to be how to
be strong, how to see it through, how to bear
under it, how to carry that weight long distances for

(06:45):
long periods of time. That's how you get strong. The
lesson is to make you stronger. But to make you stronger,
you got to carry the weight. You can't get stronger
you don't go to gym, or you don't do something
at your house to lift your own body weight. See
a lot of people can't even do push ups. They
can't get down and in the course of a day,

(07:07):
give you one hundred push ups, because they ain't. They
ain't never tried it. They bouter, they get to twenty,
and they shake it so bad they stop. That's too
much for me. Well, let me tell you something. So
I learned to quit praying to take stuff away. My
prayer became to give me the strength to handle it.
People oftentimes ask me, how do you do all that
you do in the course of the day. I don't

(07:29):
really know. I just know I can because I know
God don't put more on you than you can bath.
So when you ask me how you do all of
what you do in the course of the day, I
got God. God is good. He'll get you through whatever
it is you're going through. So when you trip it
and you don't know what to say, reflect and be

(07:52):
grateful for all you reflect on. Think about God's goodness
and watch what He do for you. That's the cold part,
