Speaker 1 (00:00):
Come on, I sure will. Good morning everybody. You are
listening to the varts, Come on, dig me now one
and only. Uh huh.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Steve Harvey got a radio show here you do, Steve
Harvey got a radio show. But like I said the
other day, you got something too, though, don't you. God
done done something wonderful for you. You just got to
thank Him for it, you know, in the midst of
all that's going on in my life and in your life.
You know, I always use myself as an example because
(00:31):
well I mean that way. I guarantee you one hundred
percent I know what I'm talking about here. Here's the situation,
you know, with everything that's going on in my life
and all the things I'm asking God for.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
In the midst of.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Taxing and a very trying situation that's very challenging for
me right now. Man, God just keeps on, keeps on
surprising me. He keeps doing things. And I want you
to look at your life. Or for a second, let's
make two columns here. Let's make a column of all
(01:09):
the things you want from God. You know, just do
that throughout the course of the day, you know, you know,
run down the list of all the things you're asking
God for all the things you're praying for, the things
you aspire to, what your dreams, your visions, whatever it is.
Just make a column list of all those things. Let's
make three lists. And then the second list, I want
(01:31):
you to make a list of everything that you've been
asking God for. So I guess that could be a
little bit of the same. But this third list, I
want you to do a check off point. I want
you to do a make a list of everything that
God has given you that you've asked him for. Just
think about it like that for a second. I may
(01:54):
be explaining a little wrong right now, but I'm gonna
pull it together for you. Make a list of every
thing you're asking God for. Just just list it. You know,
it's okay. It's a dream board. You can call it that.
I got one, it's a vision board.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
You know. Every everybody's got something you hope for. Make
a list. Now.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
I want you to make another list of everything you've
asked God for that he's given you already. See this
is a good list because sometimes and what I've been
guilty of and maybe you two in my request list
on my dream board, I keep focusing so hard sometimes
(02:33):
on the what I'm yet to receive. I keep focusing
so hard on the what I hope he gives me.
I keep focusing so hard on the things that I
yet not fulfilled in my life that sometimes, as he
starts checking off my wish lists the things I've asked
(02:54):
for in the past that have come to pass that
he's given me, I sometimes for what I want forget
to thank him for what he's done for me. And
I'm currently in the middle of that situation. And this
morning when I woke up, I really, man, I just
got on my knees this morning and I quit tripping
for a second.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
I said, Man, hey, God, you know what I.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Really do need all them things I'm asking for, and
I'm really am believing that you're gonna give it to me.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
But in the.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Meantime, though, Man, have I overlooked some important details here?
Speaker 1 (03:29):
I had to really look at what he's done for me.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
I mean, look, man, take yourself out of it personally,
and look, well, you can leave yourself in it however
you want to be.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Some people can't do that, so just leave yourself in it.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Then, But man, I started looking at the eyepart of me,
and I started looking around at what's happening overall, Like man,
he has kept my family together and in spite of
the attempts to tear it apart.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
I look at all of that.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
I look at how he's blessing my children with the
desires of their heart, which I pray for my You know,
I want my kids to have a better life than
I've had. I really really do. I don't want them
to take as long as it took me to get
it together. I really really don't. I'm trying to say, hey, man,
if you go to college, this is what you can be.
Don't do like your father did. Don't go three years
(04:15):
drop I'll throw yourself into a spiral. And then got
to start to scratch all over again, you know, And
for the most part so far, you know, they're doing
quite well of it. You know, you know they're getting
kicked around a little bit, but that's life. I started
thinking of the blessings that he's helped me overcome with
some of the previous mistakes I've made in relationships in
(04:38):
my life, and then I started looking about the things
he's blessed me with that I've been asking him for.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
But since I've moved on from it.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
I forgot to keep thinking because I got to always
thank God for a roof over my head because guess what,
when I was asking for the roof and I didn't
really have it, then he gave me one.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Now, since he gave it to me, what, I'm just
cool now, I can't.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Ever go back to him and go, hey, man, I
really do appreciate this roof over my head because there
was a time when I was living in a car.
But see, so every morning I wake up, I gotta
remember the fact that I have a home now because
I got to look back and go, man, that was time, Steve,
when you didn't have no home.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
But see, we.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Forget what God has done for us because in our column,
the won't column, the need column, we oftentimes forget for
the columns and the check marks that He's already fulfilled
in our life. You've got to take inventory every now
and then daily if possible.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
But I know, we humans, we're not gonna do that.
I don't. But you've got to take inventory of your
life to say, hey, what has God done for me?
You know?
Speaker 2 (05:48):
And remember something else too. Change is good, but change
is challenging. Accept the challenge that it is Look, a
lot of you come up to me all the time,
say Steve Man, thank you, man, boy, you in the morning. Man,
I really be needing that well, Like I only said
it a hundred times, but I'm gonna say it again, y'all,
(06:08):
I be needing it too. You know, you understand, sometimes
what God is dealing with me is for me. But
now I'm in a sharing position where I can open
up and if I just if I just quit being
so about me and become a little bit more transparent,
I can maybe some of me that's happening to me
(06:29):
is happening to you, and you can see some of
this in me. That's why I use myself as an example,
because man, I'm catching it too, y'all.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
I ain't perfect either.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
So for those of you that come up to me
and say that, I want you to understand these these
talks in the morning, man, this is important for me
because man, I need these conversations from God. I need
God to continue to strengthen me, to show me the
way to help me understand what's happening to me. And see,
(06:59):
as we've all those of you who have made the
decision to change to become a better person, a better woman,
a better boy, better girl, a better man. For those
of you who's made the decision to change, change is
a challenge, and accept the challenge because it's gonna come.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Because right out of that here come to haters.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Here they come people you don't even know, discussing your
life and your change. If God see you really really
mean what you say, in spite of what they say
about you, God will raise you above the freight. He'll
keep promoting you, He'll keep blessing you, He'll keep moving
you up.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
He will use you as a show off point.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
He'll show you off, man, He'll he'll make you look
good the people man who wish you'd fall all day long.
And so to all your haters, all your haters will
end up just watching you rise.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Man.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
They will watch you continue to grow. That's what God
will do for you.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Man.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
You can fool the world, but you can't fool God.
God know your heart, He know your every thought.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
