Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, so Steve, here we are our last break
of the day. Before we get to your closing remarks,
we have a voicemail from a woman who has a
question about one of your closing remarks.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Good morning, Steve in the Morning Show. Blessings to you all.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
Steve.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
I was listening to your clothes and remarks, and you
were talking about the past and how you know if
people bring up your past, keep bringing up your past,
you need to let them go, and how God forgives
us for our past. I believe that, But I have
a question if when you get passed someone's past behavior
and they continue on with the same behavior that you
(00:40):
have forgiven them for we already know the Lord has
But do you remove them because you keep having this
you're keep reminded of this past behavior because they're not changing,
or do they remove you? I'm just asking y'all.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Have a blessing on you to buy Well, that's seems
to me two different things from what I was talking about.
What I was talking about was in reference to you
having control over not allowing people to hold you to
your past, and when God has forgiven you, you have
the right to move on and be different and grow
(01:17):
from what you were and learn from your experiences. What
you're saying now is should you move on from a
person who you forgiven from bad behavior in the past,
but they continue to bad behavior? See, that's two different things.
You know, you can forgive a person, but you don't
(01:37):
have to allow a person to continue to do things
to you. That's that's that's detrimental to you. There's nothing
in the Bible that requires you to have to do that.
That's nothing that I know of. It might be, but
I'm just Steve Harvey, don't know of it. Look, man,
if if I if I forgive you for cheating on me, right,
(01:59):
that's just you that for example, but you continue to
cheat on me, I don't have to keep forgiving you. Now,
I forgave you. But what I'm gonna do is I'm
gonna remove myself from this situation so you can go
on and do you see. See, so now you ain't
gonna keep cheating on me because it ain't gonna be
no me. Now, if that's what you're saying, then yes,
(02:22):
you have every right to remove yourself from a situation.
You know, if a person steals from you and you
forgive that person, but they steal from you again. Okay,
well hold up now, I ain't got to keep forgiving
you for stealing from me, but I but no, look
man like, if you steal from me twice, I'm gonna
(02:42):
forgive you, but you best well, I'm just not gonna
be there for that second stealing. Man, I'm just not
gonna be that for that. I mean, once you want
you steal from me, I appreciate you, man, I forgive you,
God bless you. Gonna live your best life. But the
key is, go on, only live your best life, because
I'm not gonna stand here and put myself in a
(03:05):
position where you can do it to me again. Now,
if by chance you steal from me a second time,
I may forgive you again, but we've got to separate
ourselves now because obviously were not right for each other
at this point, at one point in time, I'm not
learning the lesson, you know, I say, oftentimes behind every
(03:28):
moment of adversity there's a lesson and a blessing. Well,
if somebody steals from me, I've got to now recognize
what that looks like so I can see it again
and I can avoid it happening to me again. Some
things happen to us in our life to give us
the experience to be able to recognize it. And sometimes
God allows certain things to happen to us because of
(03:50):
where he's taking us. He knows that we will need
and we require to have this skill set. What hurts
people in is when you don't learn from your mistakes,
when you don't learn from your past experiences. Example, let's
(04:13):
take women for example. Let's say you've been cheated on twice,
and the two times you got cheated on, you saw
the same behavior in both men. Well, now if you
start to see the behavior in a third man, don't
you think it would be wise to remove yourself from
(04:33):
this situation. Well, because he showed you what it looked
like twice before. He showed you the exact way it looks,
and each time it looked like that, it happened. Well,
the third time it comes along, you experienced that, So
now you could avoid it in your future. So now
(04:54):
you know how to safeguard yourself from such a situation.
It just happens like that, man, and and and and
and you know, people have to stop, you know, and
stop stop looking at things that happen in your life
as a punishment are a karma. That's not what it is.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Man.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Some of this stuff is life lessons, y'all. Some of
this stuff we got to go through and get it
so we'll have it. It ain't karma. It it ain't
no you know, payback and all this here. Sometimes this
is the lesson you got to learn. Hey, man, I'm sorry.
It's just a lesson you got to learn because where
you are headed. God clearly knows where you are going,
(05:39):
so he has to prepare you for what the place
you're gonna arrive at. And if you got to be
in a position where you got to have a better
spirit of discernment, he gonna have to put some stuff
in front of your face to teach you how to
develop discernment. And it's okay if he. If God gonna
put a put some money in your possession in the future,
(06:00):
you got to see what thieves look like early on,
so they can steal a little bit from you, so
when you get the big money, you can safeguard it.
That's all it is, man, And that's how I view it,
and that's how I look at it, you know, And
people that might disagree with what I just said, but
I can only speak from my perspective and in my
years of living and trying to win and overcome, these
(06:21):
are the things I've learned. So that's my take on
the situation. I hope it helps you out there today. Hey, listen, y'all,
talk to God today. Talk to Him today. He would
absolutely love to hear from you. He really would. And
it don't matter if you don't talk to him in
a while. He's always avail.
