Speaker 1 (00:00):
Come on, I sure will.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Good morning everybody you're listening to the voice, come on,
dig me now, one and only Steve Harvey got a
radio show, got a good one for you today. Tommy
text me and hit me with a thought this morning
that caused me to thinking a little bit deeper about it.

Speaker 1 (00:24):
And the text of.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
Tommy sent me this morning said that a tree yields
fruit seasonally, but even when it's not yielding, it's still
a fruit tree. Don't get upset at not producing. Your
season is coming if you stay planted. Okay, one more time.
A fruit tree yields seasonally, but even when it's not yielding,

(00:45):
it's still a fruit tree. Don't get upset and not producing,
because your season is coming if you stay planted.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
Now, that meant something to me this morning, and it
caused me to start to thinking it through a little
bit deep in terms of what has happened in my life.
Because here's the deal. The thing that I just learned
recently was about seasons in your life. Seasons. I was

(01:15):
familiar with it all my life. My mother taught it
to me. I've experienced it, but I didn't really get
it until of late.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
The thing about.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
The seasons in your life is when we start thinking
about When you hear people in Churchill, you hear people
say it's your season is coming. Boy, you in your season?
You know what was messing me up a little bit,
and it might be messing you up. I thought of
seasons just like I did the seasons winter, spring, summer,
and fall. But I had it on the timeline just

(01:48):
like seasons quarterly a year.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
So I looked at boy, is your season, Your season
is coming.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
I looked at it as a short span of time,
and then I was gonna go back to the barrenness
of winter. And then something might happen a little later
on in the spring and something pop through the ground
and flowers show up, and then they might survive. The
summer is good, and it's going good all summer long,
and I'm guiding them harvesting crops.

Speaker 1 (02:16):
Then the fall come and start fading the in winter.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
I go back to suffering the barrenness.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
Of winter like a crop. But here's what I learned.
You cannot look at your season in life and the
seasons that we go through with the same eye for
seasons as you do with crops. Because God's timeline is
totally different.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
See, a season to God could be a really extended
period of time. It could be the duration of your life.
That's what a season is in God's timeline. See God
is expansive man, He's way bigger than the regular thing.
So what may be a season two a farmer, A

(03:00):
season for God could be three hundred years, fifty years,
sixty years, eighty years, you in now. So I had
to learn that because I was afraid that seasonally meant
that this blessing would be for a short period of time.
Then I go back. Then here come another burst, and
then I go back. I'll fire a few more night shots,

(03:20):
and now I can have a nice summer. And then
I started withing away and here come winning again. The
first things first, that's not how it worked for me,
and that's how I had to learn. So now let's
talk about it with that in mind. See what the
text time he sent me meant a lot to me,
because see, everybody is a fruit tree. We are all

(03:42):
a fruit tree. But here's the key, though, we are
all different kinds of fruit trees. Oh see that's the difference.
And that's the other thing was tripping me off. See
I was looking at the other trees, trying to figure
out why I wasn't given and bearing the same fruit

(04:02):
that they would bury. Why wasn't I a billionaire? Why
wasn't I a yacht owner? Why didn't I come up
with the next great idea? Why wasn't I the next
big producer? Why wasn't I the next big major star.
Why wasn't I the one that came up with some

(04:23):
earth shattering idea and invention that would change the scope
of the world and all this money would flow me?
Why wasn't I Because that ain't my fruit, that that's
not my tree.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
See, everybody can't be Steve Jobs.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
Everybody's not gonna be the guy that comes up with
the next invention that changes the world. You ain't the right, brothers.
You may not be the one to think of flight?
For what is your fruit?

Speaker 1 (04:46):
Though?

Speaker 2 (04:47):
See your fruit is plenty, see and and and and
what the what the text was saying is your fruit?
You you bear fruits seasonally. That means it's coming. Sometimes
you're still sprouting. Well, when you sprouting, you can't have
fruit on you yet. What you're tripping for? You just sprouted,
You just came up through the dirt. You've been hustling

(05:08):
and grinded. You just popped up through the dirt. Now
you're a young tree, you a bush. Even if you
have fruit on it, your bark and your limbs ain't
strong enough to hold the fruit. The size of the
fruit would break your limbs if you get it too early.

Speaker 1 (05:24):
Pa, Come on, man, don't you understand this? Now? This
what this text meant to me?

Speaker 2 (05:29):
And so while I wanted fruit, I wasn't ready to
hold the fruit. So you gotta strengthen yourself. You gotta
get focused. You gotta be who you're supposed to be.
You gotta try hard. God, the fruit the season is
coming for you, because everybody is a fruit tree, and
everybody gonna bath fruit.

Speaker 1 (05:46):
But what you cannot do is think that. Look, if
you're a.

Speaker 2 (05:51):
Lemon tree and your fruit that you bear is living,
this is analogy. Now I'm talking about whatever your gift is.
The fruit you bear is a lemon tree. But you
look over there, and you looking at the apple archid,
and you going, man, But them apples is big and red.

Speaker 1 (06:04):
More people eat apples than eat lemons. You sell more
apples than you do lemons. Oh that's true. So now
guess what you do Now you uproot yourself.

Speaker 2 (06:14):
You take yourself up out of who you are and
what you were born to do. You remove yourself from
your gift, You take yourself all out of who you
really are. Going over there trying to be an apple tree.
When God made you the lemon tree. Now guess what.
Now you're all about the soil. You ain't rooted no more,

(06:35):
can't no nutrients come up through your roots to even
feed the limons that He bore you to have. Now
you over there trying to be an apple. Well, ain't
no room in the apple archer for the lemon tree.
Now you're wondering why you can't get your roots down
in there, why they ain't accepting you?

Speaker 1 (06:49):
Now you're barren man? Who woo is me? Lord? You
don't never get me no fruit.

Speaker 2 (06:53):
It's because you keep moving, You keep taking yourself out
of who you are, keep removing yourself from the soil
that you was planted in. You keep taking yourself out
your orchard. Stop trying to be an apple. If you
was born to be a lemon, what's wrong with lemons?
I like lemonade. A lot of people I know like lemonade.

Speaker 1 (07:13):
Lemonade.

Speaker 2 (07:14):
If you stay focused with it. You might be the
only one with the good limits. Now everybody the need
limits gotta come to you. Oh man. But if you
keep uprooting yourself moving, you'll never better fruit that you
was born to bear. Everybody is a fruit tree. But
you got to stay planted, man, You gotta stay nourished.
You gotta talk to your creator who made you, and

(07:35):
find out what fruit you supposed to bear, and then
in your season. It's coming, man, your season is coming.
But you got to stay planted, and you got to
realize through contacting your creator what type of fruit tree
you are. And quit looking at the other orchids trying
to get over there, and they got more fruit than you.

Speaker 1 (07:55):
That's not who you are. Stop trying to be something
that you are not. Name to the Steve Harvey Morning
