Speaker 1 (00:00):
Come on, I sure will. Good morning everybody you're listening
to the voice, come on, dig me now, one and
only Steve Harvey, Man oh Man, got a radio show,
got a good one for you today. And it just
happened to me. You know, I was going through something
(00:22):
that I've been going through for a long long time
and just weary.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Of it all.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
And I've been talking to God about it, and I
mean for years.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Though.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
What happened was I had to go through some more
of it yesterday again a situation. But you know what,
after it was over, you know, I kind of laid
in it for a little while. You know how you've
been going through something for so long and then even
if it's over or appears to be over, you still
kind of lay in it a little bit, and you know,
you have a while. Man, I can't believe I've been
(00:53):
dealing with this this long, even though even though it's over.
I don't know how you do it, but this was
for me. Have you ever counted, Steve Harvey, how many
times you made it? And so that's what I started
doing yesterday, and that's what I did this morning. When
I woke up. I was actually taking an inventory account
(01:14):
of how many times I made it? How many times, man,
I didn't have the rent and somehow I came up
with it. How many times I didn't have my house
payment and somehow I came up with it. How many
times I was out of money, did not have enough,
didn't see no way, but somehow I came up with it.
(01:35):
How many times I got sick, thought, well, man, this
one right here. I don't know what I'm gonna do,
but somehow I got my health back. How many situations
I have found myself in? That was I thought at
the time, detrimental and diabolical and man so sinister at times.
(01:57):
Somehow I made it. I look at all the accidents
I've been in, but he kept me. I made it.
I think about even the simplest times of like stepping
off a curve and almost got hit, but I made it.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
I was just tripping the other day.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
I was thinking about the times that I've been hit
by a car and it could have been worse, but
it wasn't, And I made it through that too. I
was thinking about, man, when they count you out, do
you know how many times I've been counted out? He's done,
he ain't gonna be nothing, he ain't nobody see who
I told y'all look at over that they counsel this.
(02:35):
He offered that he out of here. He ain't gonna
make it. He didne got fired.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Man.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
You know how many times I've been counted out? You
know how many times they done wrote me off? How
many times have you been written off?
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Man?
Speaker 1 (02:47):
But here you still stand? Yeah, you have a tripped
on it. Take an inventory, y'all of how many times?
Count the times you've made it? What about the times man,
when nobody was there.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
To encourage you?
Speaker 1 (02:59):
But you they're still here though you have tripped on that?
Ain't nobody called you and told you good day? No
nobody called you and told you recently thank you. No
one's called you and told you how much you meant
to them, how much you've done for them? Or man,
and you can make it. Never give up. Keep your
head up, man, keep grinding. But you still here even
when nobody. Have you counted the times man that you
(03:22):
made it?
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Anyway?
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Have you counted the times that you felt like quitting,
you felt like giving up, you kept going?
Speaker 2 (03:30):
How about the time this is a good one right here?
Speaker 1 (03:32):
How about the times man, when everybody's standing around saying
ain't no way, ain't no way.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Man.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
I can't tell how many times I've heard this, ain't
no way, and then somehow there is a way.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
You know why, because he make a way. You understand.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
You know how many times I've heard this one? Right here, Steve,
listen to me, man, nobody ever before has done that.
You can't do that. How many times you done hurt?
No you or you know anybody that done that. You
can't do that. No one has ever done that. I
made it anyway?
Speaker 2 (04:09):
You know, they.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Don't normally or we don't normally allow this, but in
this case for you, we gonna make an exception. How
many times have you heard that, Oh, I think I'm
onto something?
Speaker 2 (04:25):
How many times have you heard in your lifetime?
Speaker 1 (04:29):
We don't normally or they don't normally allow this, but
we gonna make this exception in your case. How many
times you done heard that? Have you ever counted the
times that you made it? Everybody out except me? How
(04:50):
can that be? You know you're the only one that
got through this. Congratulations? Wow, man, I don't hardly see
this too many times, But do you realize that normally
this is what happened to people but man, y'all, I
don't know how your name came up, but here you are. Wow,
it never happens like that. You ever counted those times
(05:11):
I was doing it yesterday? I was doing it this morning.
I was just taking an inventory, everybody of how many
times I've made it. So what I learned yesterday was
when God gets you through something, when he pulled you
out on the other side, no matter how difficult or
how long it took. When He gets you out on
(05:31):
the other side, why don't you get up, dust yourself
off and start troting what you laying that for? Man
wallowing in it, going over it, recycling it in your mind.
So many people can't move forward because we keep recycling
stuff in our mind when clearly it's time to move on.
(05:56):
It's time to let go. It's time to go and
see what God has for you. Stop looking at what
you lost. What you lost was probably not yours to
have in the first oh, in the first place.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Do you know the things I've lost? Now?
Speaker 1 (06:19):
I'm not talking about losing a loved one, a mother
or father, nothing like that. I'm talking about innate objects,
a situation. Do you know the things I've lost?
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Man?
Speaker 1 (06:28):
I look back on it. I wasn't supposed to have
them in the first place, or they was doing me
no good. I wasn't wasn't mine to lose, but I
claimed I lost it. Come on, man, take an inventory, everybody.
Start looking at the things man, that God has brought
you through. Start looking at how many times He allowed
you to make it, and get glad about waking up
in the morning. Man, Get glad about your life. Start
(06:49):
feeling something positive about your situation. You cannot expect God
to continue to bless you if you're not grateful for
the things that you have. Why would God sitting down
here looking at you, upset, angry, laying in the wall
of what you are not grateful for? You just can't
(07:11):
find the scene and find no gratitude in your heart
about nothing, but you steady asking God for something. So
now you think God is crazy. You think he gonna
give you some more stuff to not be grateful for.
Are you kidding me? Why would he do that. He's
too full of too much mercy to send you through that.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Over and over and over.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
The more I give my child, the more ungrateful they are,
the less gratitude they show. But I'm gonna keep dumping
it on them so they can keep feeling ungrateful and
then show like a gratitude. God's not gonna do that
to you. Come on, man, have you ever counted how
many times you made it? I can't count how many
(07:50):
times God done got me through something. But when He
gets you through it, you ain't get up and get
on about your business. Don't lay that in it. It's over,
it's done, you made it. Let's go, Let's go.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show.
