Love your.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Turn turn. I can't to turn the mouth turn. You
(01:43):
probably got to turn mouth turn out, turn a wad
of the mony up book. Come come on, you're th.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Huh, I sure will. Good morning everybody. You're listening to
the voice, Come on, dig me now, one and only
see Harvey got a radio show man. God is in
the blessing business. I'm in the receiving line, man. That's
a good feeling. I thank God for waking me up
(02:23):
in the mornings, I really really do. I thank God
for the spirit that he wakes me up with because
I finally, but I finally figured it out. Such a
blessing that shouldn't be taken for granted. The fact that
you are up today, the fact that you just got
off working, you driving home, the fact that you got
a job to come home from, the fact that you
(02:45):
got a job to wake up too. Whatever it is,
the fact that you can see, think, here, smell, walk, talk, rhyme, reason,
whatever it is, it's a blessing. Man. I was talking
to a partner mine last night and an analogy came
to me last night of what my life has been
like just going over my story with a friend of
(03:08):
mine of all some of the things I had gone through,
and he never knew it because he said, man, you
never told me that we were just talking. One of
the things I remember, and it's kind of equated to
my life, was when I was a little boy, as
she goes to the store with my mom and she
(03:29):
would let me buy a jigsaw puzzle. Now, for those
of you, a jigsaw puzzle comes in a box. There
are no instructions. It just comes in a box and
it's simple. You're gonna dump the pieces out in a
pile and you're gonna try to put the pieces together
(03:50):
until it looks like the picture that's on the cover
of the box. That's as simple as it is. Here
is the deal. I would select a jigsaw puzzle based
on the picture that I liked and if I thought
(04:13):
I could do it. Now, if the picture looked too crazy,
if it looked too intricate, I didn't want that puzzle,
you know. And the thing was, back in the day
you got a jigsaw puzzle. You had one hundred piece puzzles,
four hundred piece puzzles, man, then they say a thousand
piece puzzle.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
You go oo.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
So those were a little difficult for me when I
was a little boy, so I didn't want that. As
I got a little bit older, I had more challenging puzzles,
you know, four fifty five hundred piece puzzles. But I
always picked a picture of something I liked. So it's
(04:55):
very simple. You get the jigsaw puzzle, you get it home,
you open it up, you dump it out on the tab,
You flip all the pieces over so you can see them,
and then I would try to sort them based on
the colors on the box. If it was like a
black section, I'd take all the black pieces and slide
them over there. If it was some flowers, I'd try
(05:16):
to find all the pictures with little jigsaw pieces with
the little floor, and I separate them and then i'd
start putting it together. And the way I started was
i'd try to build a border first, because I knew
all the straight edges had to be side by side
at one point. And it was funny, man, because it's
related to my life. I would start putting the pieces
(05:38):
together of the picture I saw that I liked, and
that would be my picture. A lot of people didn't
like jigsaw puzzles. As a matter of fact, none of
the boys on the street liked jigsaw puzzles but me,
because they just didn't want to go through the intricate
details of figuring that out. Really go outside and run
(06:01):
or something like that. And so what happened was, as
I got older, I wanted more difficult and challenging puzzles,
but I wouldn't go too far. I wanted some nice
stuff to happen. I had a picture of what I
wanted for my life, but I didn't want to go
too far because it was so challenging and difficult. I
(06:23):
couldn't see myself with all of that, and I didn't
have the time, the knowledge, the expertise, the figuring all
the intricate details. And I discovered something when I was
talking last night. That's what happens in life to a
lot of people. You get bogged down with the details
of coming up and trying to create the picture that
(06:44):
you want for yourself. You put it to the side,
You say, ah, that puzzles are crazy. Next thing you know,
you crumbled it up and put it back in the box.
So you go halfway and you get stuck, and you
get to the part where it ain't a lot of
different colors. It's all the same, and that's a little
bit more challenging. So that may stop you. But it's
somewhere in the jigsaw puzzle that it gets very difficult
(07:06):
and challenging. The bigger the picture you want, but then
what will happened in your life. It's just like what
happened in the jigsaw. Once you get comfortable and you
don't mind the challenge, you could get a bigger picture.
But here's the key to it, though, if you put
(07:27):
God in your mix. See, the picture that I saw
for myself as a boy is not the picture that
has happened to me as a man. Because along the
way from boyhood to manhood, from the time I was
telling you understand what happened along the ride in there
was I started putting God in the mix. And so
(07:50):
now the picture that I have now is not the
picture I saw. It's the picture that God saw. So
what I'm saying this analogy is the picture you have
may be difficult to complete, but if you were to
include God in your life. Put God in your jigsaw puzzle.
(08:11):
God will not only help you complete the puzzle, and
he gonna add some pieces, he gonna do some favors,
he gonna show some mercy, and you gonna look up
and the picture that you're able to end up with
will be totally different and much more complete, much more beautiful,
a bigger picture than the one you had, because there's
(08:32):
no way that I could have sought a life that
I have today back when I was a boy. And
it amazes me when I hear people say I always
saw this for myself. Ah, I didn't do that. I
didn't quite see this for myself. I don't know how
you can have the ability to see what God really
has for you. But man, he's a master for jigsaw. Man,
(08:53):
he's an incredible puzzle completed. So if you got a
puzzle that's challenging to you, maybe you need to see
what's the picture that God has for your life. If
God were in your life, if you complete it to puzzle,
what would it look like. It'll be a far more
extensive puzzle and it would be a far more beautiful
(09:15):
piece of scenery than you could have ever imagined tears
come in my eyes because I can't believe God bought
me this far. I can't believe that when I opened
up and accepted him and started talking to him, that
he would add all these pieceles to my jigsaw puzzle,
and my jigsaw puzzle would look like this. And I
could tell you I ain't got a whole lot to
(09:37):
do with what out and turned into. It's mostly favor
and blessings and grace and mercy of God. And I
looked up and I just got a much bigger jigsaw
puzzle completed. And guess what, He ain't through with me yet.
That's what's amazing and exciting about a relationship with God.
God could take your jigsaw puzzle and fix its. Of
