Speaker 1 (00:00):
Come on your.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Ah, I sure will.
Speaker 1 (00:05):
Good morning, everybody. Are you listening to the voice? Come
on dig me now, one and only Steve Harvey got
a radio show. Okay, I got something for you today.
I'm gonna have a conversation this morning about my understanding
of grace now that I've gotten older and I've come
(00:29):
into a better understanding of a lot of things I
didn't know about when I was younger. This is just
my interpretation of grace. Now once again, y'all listen to me.
I ain't nobody's pastor, I ain't nobody's minister.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
So you know, I'm.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Pretty sure you can go to church and get a
far more extensive definition of one I'm giving you. I'm
just talking to people. You know, Grace is this thing
that God provides for us, and grace is just things
that you get that's really undeserving, you know. I mean,
(01:08):
I look at my life as it is today. You know. Look,
I work hard, and I have faith in God that
I do so things are going to happen in my life.
But the way my life is now, I don't don't.
I don't deserve all of this. Don't don't I don't
look at it that way, I have been the beneficiary
of God's grace. I have aligned myself in a position
(01:32):
to accept whatever grace God has for me, and it
will be far abundant and exceedingly in anything you could
think of. His grace supersedes anything you could possibly imagine.
You know, the goals that I set, and the aspirations
that I shoot for, and the things that I have
(01:52):
on my dream board. I have the faith that God
will give it to me. But what He does with grace,
he gives you far more than that. He gives you
what He has for you, not what you can see.
You can't see all He has for you. It's impossible.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Who are you?
Speaker 1 (02:08):
How can you possibly imagine what he can imagine? How
can you possibly think how he can think? How can
you possibly do what he can do? How can it
be that isn't a single mind living or a collection
of minds that could have thought of Earth? What in
your wildest imagination could have made you think of Earth?
(02:28):
The stars, the heavens, the oceans, the galaxy, the constellations.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
What in your mind?
Speaker 1 (02:37):
What in any man's mind. We can point at it
and analyze it, but we show couldn't have thought of it.
So come on, now, I'm talking about lining yourself up
with God's grace, which he will give to you if
you want some of it now. But now his thing
about grace, it can't be bought. Could If it could
be bought, I'm telling you I would pull all the
(03:01):
money I have and dump it into grace, because, after
discovering what it is, it's this goodness that God shines
on you simply as a reward of some type for
His love for you and for you attempting, for you
attempting to do right, not because you get it right.
(03:24):
Because if He judged us purely on how we are
the right and wrong of it, we would all be doomed.
All of us, every last one of us would be
doomed because we all fall short, we all make mistakes,
we all sin, we all get.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
It wrong from time to time. Nobody's perfect.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Man. Now I understand what my mother was saying about
cleaning the house. All I want is a little more grace.
All I need is a little more grace when the
last time you ask God for some grace.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Now, I'm not talking to you like I know.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
If if you just benefit from His grace, what you
already have, But if you're not aware of it, you
don't know what's going on. Become aware of grace, Get
aware of the fact that God does things for you
simply because He loves you. He does things for you
that you don't even deserve. Somehow, you just wonder how
(04:20):
you just got over when you didn't even do the
things to get over. Sometimes you don't even know how
you got that job you got when you ain't even
really do the things to get your job.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
How you end up where you are all the education
you thought.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
You went and got, and hey, how you end up
where you are today in a much better position than
your education could have ever gotten you. That's grace. How
I get every place I am today. I didn't plan this, Man,
If I could have planned my life the way it is,
don't you know how'd have done it when I was
living in that car if I knew how to do it.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
No, I benefited from his grace.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
I'm just a beneficih of his grace, of his goodness
and his mercy. God's goodness is better than your goodness.
God's goodness is better than your mother's goodness. It's better
than your wife's or your husband or your Boo's goodness,
God's goodness is different. His goodness man covers some stuff
(05:19):
you can't even imagine.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
So why are you trying to put your life.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Together when the last time you asked him for just
a little bit of grace? When have you thought of
your life in terms of the grace that it has
already benefited from?
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Have you ever done that? Man?
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Just thought about you? Know you hear songs like my soul,
look back and wonder how I got over?
Speaker 2 (05:42):
That was grace. That's all I can call it. Now.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Like I say, you can go to church or somewherever
you want to, and ministers at the window at school
to teach this thing way better than me. I'm just
giving you from a layman standpoint. Man, have you thought
about his grace? Would you not bewall to be a
beneficiary of His grace? With it not sitting now? Check
this out. The better you try to do, the more
(06:06):
grace he'll give to you. Now that grace can't be bought,
Like I said, it's free. You can't purchase grace. But
the better you try to become the more the more
grace he gets to put your way. So man, just try,
Why don't you just try to do better. Look, man,
quit talking about it. I'm gonna start next week. I'm
(06:27):
gonna start at the new year. Now you not, Yeah,
you do that every year ever at the new Year.
I wanna eat better at the new Year. I'm I'm
gonna go on get in here and the new year.
If you're gonna do it, you're gonna do it now. Man,
You're gonna do it. Nothing. Stop trying do something, do it,
Stop talking about it, do it now. The best way
(06:47):
to benefit from his grace is starting action now. N
O W now, right now today. What you're waiting on.
All you doing is delaying his opportunity to blame you.
You know, man, you know? Do you know how many
times we do that? We delay his opportunity to bless
(07:07):
us by not starting now.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
If you gonna get healthy, why don't you start now?
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Now. You're gonna trip a little bit because the holiday's coming,
But you ain't got to eat bad all the time.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
You could start eating.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Correct today you could, you could, and then guess what
that could be some grace on the end of that.
I'm just giving you a little cheap analogy. But do
you feel what I'm saying to you start thinking in
terms of grace, what he has done for you and
provided for you that you ain't even see coming. That
you know, you keep calling them blessings, and I got
that a lot of it OUs all it is, But man,
(07:40):
have you thought about the stuff that didn't happen to
you you can't account for. For me, that's been grace
and I'm beneficiary of it, and that's available to everybody
that won't sung. Next time you're talking to him, just
check in with grace. See what that is, that's that's
better than money.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
