Speaker 1 (00:00):
Uh huh, I sure will.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Good morning everybody you are listening to the voice, Come
on dig me now, one and only Steve Harvey got
a radio show. Yeah, man boy, God has been good
to me. Man, I can't really count at all. You
can't either, you know, it's all in perspective. You really
can't count all that God has done for you if
(00:25):
you look at every little thing. It's unbelievable the things
He's done for us. How many times you know, we
got through something without even talking to him about it.
He just he just blessed us with it. How many
you know? It's just it's so much that the fact
that you wake up in the morning, the fact that
you still have a place to stay, the fact that
(00:46):
you know may be struggling out here, but guess what,
you still going to work. You know, you live in
check to check, but you're making it all. You got
all the plates spinning. You know, it's hard. You got
a lot of plate spinning, but you keep him up
there somemer every now and there. In one break, but
he put two more back up there to look a
little bit better, and you got to get to spending
them so it all works. And then you got a
(01:06):
lot of people who just can't seem to mentally put
it together as to you know, why their life isn't
in a position that they wanted to be. And we
talk about this oftentimes, but I don't want to try
another angle with you today.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
You know, maybe it's you. Have you ever thought about that.
Maybe it's you.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Maybe it's no external force that's at fault, like you
keep making the excuse to be. You know, so many
people out here, Well, if this hadn't ha done this,
if he hadn't have done that, if she hadn't have
done that, I would have been further along. I wasted
all my time, my years with this man, and he
did this, and I could have been here and I
(01:51):
could have been there. And this woman she did this
to mean, if she hadn't have done that, I could
have been here and I could have been there.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Maybe it's you.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Maybe it's not really that external force that you keep
making it out to be. See, I've done this to
myself before. Once again, I'm talking to you about something
I know about. I've done this to myself before. I've
had the reason I wasn't where I wanted to be.
I had it figured out as some external force. I
(02:26):
had worked it out in my mind. Clearly it wasn't
me because of so and so or if this hadn't happen,
and if they hadn't have done this, I would have
been further along up the road. That's what I was saying.
But hold on, man, boy learned a valuable lesson.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Man.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
See, if you don't ever let it go, it's gonna
be hard for you to go. If you don't ever
let it go, it's gonna be hard for you to go.
I was listening to Bishop td Jake's one day, and
I heard him say, you can't drive your car if
(03:10):
you gonna keep looking in the rear view mirror. You
go outside and try that. Try to drive your car,
but keep your eye in the rear view mirror. All
you looking at is where you're being. All you're looking
at in that rear view mirror is where you passed
or should have passed, something you should have moved on from.
(03:30):
All you're doing is looking in that rear view mirror
at what happened back now. If you don't stop looking
in the rearview mirror, you're gonna crash your car over
and over and over again. All you got to slow
it down so bad in order for you to keep
looking in that rear view mirror. If you don't learn
(03:55):
to let it go, it's gonna be hard for you
to go forward because you keep reviewing the past. The
past is the past, and I know it's hard.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Man.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
I watched a show and this lady said, well, I
just can't ever forgive them for that, or guess what.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Guess what God may have already forgiven that person.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
That person may be extremely remorseful, could have gone to
God and got in forgiveness for it years ago. But
you you sit here and you keep hanging on to
the back. I can't ever forgive that. Then I heard
Bishop Jakes come on the show one time and say
something that really really struck home. You keep drinking the
(04:43):
poison waiting on your enemy to die.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
He said that.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
I just shook my head and went, Wow, you drinking
the poison waiting on your enemy to die. Revenge is
poison to you. You know, if hatred is poison to you.
Unforgivingness when you won't forgive a person, that person could
(05:12):
be going on with they life made the right with God.
Don't know how you feeling? They skipping through life. Now,
you make adjustments every time you see them. And it
takes energy. Man, it takes so much energy to hate.
It takes so much energy not to forgive to Now
they come in the room, you got to avoid them.
Stay over here, Oh here they come. Now you got
(05:34):
to make a situation over here. They come into the house,
this family reunion. Oh oh, here they come. Or where
they gonna be in the basement. I'm going to be
on the third floor. I want to go out here
and get some barbecue. She out there at the barbecue staying,
Oh lord, I don't want a barbecue.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
I just eat to take a salad.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
People man take themselves all out of position, trying to
make adjustments, when if you it would simplify your life,
if you would let just let it go. Maybe where
you need to be because of them external forces altogether.
Maybe you're not where you need to because of you,
(06:08):
because you won't let it go, you won't move forward.
Look at this, ladies, Let's say you've been in a
situation with a man for years. It didn't work out
for whatever the reason, it just didn't work out.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
I got I got what you say he did. I
got what he did.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
I got he all of that, YadA YadA YadA. When
you get through, did not God get you through it?
Did not he allow you to survive it? I got you,
got some cuts on you, I got you been a
little bit bruised. But did he not get you through it?
(06:47):
So now that he's freed you from it, now he
done went on. He got a whole nother family over
there somewhere. Now, he trying to make it right because
maybe he learned the mistake he made and now he
trying to be a better man.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
He just trying to get it right now.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
But you sitting there holding on to it, You drinking
the poison, waiting on your enemy to die. So now,
instead of you enjoying the blessing of finally being free
from a situation that was not healthy for you, you create
an even more unhealthy situation in your mind by hating,
by having revengeful thoughts, by hoping he fall on his face.
(07:22):
Maybe you even doing something to the other situation to
make sure they struggle. Oh man, you drinking the poison,
waiting on your enemy to die. Maybe you ain't where
you ought to be in life, not because of your
external forces. But maybe it is you if you don't
let it go, it's gonna be hard for you to go.
(07:43):
You can't keep driving your car looking in the rear
view mirror.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Come on, man.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Forgiveness is not for the other person. Forgiveness is for you.
Uh huh, I sure will.
