Speaker 1 (00:00):
Uh huh, I sure will. Good morning everybody. You're listening
to the voice, Come on dig Me now one and
on its Steve Harvey got a radio show. Well all right,
I learned something and it's sharing time. And I am

(00:23):
ever appreciated. I do appreciate God for all that he
allows me to learn in my life. Well, one of
the best lessons I've learned is that hardship teaches you
some great lessons. Challenges brings about some of my best results.

(00:47):
I think what I'm trying to say is in every challenge,
in hardship, every setback, I've learned something so so valuable.
Here's what I've You know, I've known this, but I've
just learned it at a different angle. Appreciation and gratitude

(01:10):
is the key to having more Now. I don't know
how that sound to you, but I can't tell you
how true it is. God being fair and just as
he really is. He really is. He's a fair and
a just God. What's most beneficial to us is he

(01:32):
happens to be full of mercy and grace. And I'm
telling you something, man, I've probably benefited from his grace
and mercy more than anything else. I mean, really, man,
if it wasn't for him just forgiving me, and then

(01:57):
for him just touching my life the way he has.
I mean, I'm not here in this position today. I'm
just not. But a funny thing has happened along the way,
even to you, if you look at it, is that
your genuine appreciation and gratitude has been the key to

(02:19):
you having more for your continued blessings and for making
room for Heaven to open up and pour out blessings
that you don't have room enough to receive. If you
look at it, see God being affair and just God,
which he is, Why would he put more on you

(02:41):
than you can bear? If you've noticed everything that's happened
in your life, if you're still here, you've made it.
You know, forget how rough it was, got that, but
you made it. Forget what it sent you through and
it how it made you feel. Now, what makes people

(03:03):
give up, and you hear about people committing suicide is
they leave the God out of their life and they
start allowing that other voice to control. And if it's
really true that God never puts more on you, then
you can bear. As long as you stay connected to God,
you can get through anything. But you lose that connection,

(03:24):
You lose that communication, you lose that relationship with him.
If you're not having a relationship with God, then who
you having a relationship with? Now it ain't but two
forces at work at all time. It's good and evil.

(03:45):
It's positive and negative is God, it's Satan. Now, this
is at work all the time. So if you're not
being positive about everything, you leave room for negativity to
step in. If you're not trying to be righteous in
your way, then you allow evil to step in. If

(04:08):
you don't work on your relationship with God. Come on, now,
look who you're letting step in. So now I'm asking
you to understand that God never puts more on you
than you can bear. Okay, now that we got that clear,
that's a fact. Okay, Now with that fact in mind,
let's go over this right here. Why would God, being

(04:30):
as just and merciful as he is, put more on
you than you can bear? Example, if God has given
you blessings and all you're doing is complaining about him,
you're never showing any appreciation of gratitude about it, why
would he give you some more stuff to be ungrateful for?

(04:51):
Why would he give you some more stuff to complain about.
Why would he give you some more stuff that you
would not show any more appreciation for? I mean, this
thing is real simple, man, ain't it? If you think
about it? So a lot of times, man, when I
was going through my positions of not having and wondering
at all like her, I ended up checking myself and going, man,

(05:12):
I'm not even showing any gratitude or appreciation for the
things he has done for me. Start showing some appreciation
and gratitude, because it's the key to have it more.
It's the key to continued blessings. It's the key to
the wonders of heaven opening up and pouring out a
blessing that you won't have room enough to receive. It's

(05:32):
the appreciation and gratitude of what you already have, as
minimal as it may appear to be right now for you,
it is still what you have. But if you've shown
no gratitude for the minimal, why would he give you

(05:53):
the maximum? I mean, I'm just really just trying to
put it real, real simple, so I can keep understanding
and in this thing right here. So let me give
you an example. In my life, I had gotten so
busy at one point that I had began to complain
about how busy I was. This is true because I

(06:16):
am busy, but it ain't the busy part because I
asked to be busy. You know, I asked God to
give me opportunities and to make a way for me. Well,
in that, you got to do something, and you got
to get busy. But I began to complain about the
busyness and how busy I was, and I noticed that

(06:38):
a couple of things slowed up for me. So I
had got to the point where I wasn't showing real
gratitude for it. Well, I looked up and a couple
of things started slowing down, and then I had to
catch myself, and I went, wow, man, you have got
to start embracing the fact that you are this busy,
embrace the fact that what all comes along with it.

(07:01):
Because to whom much is given, much is required. You
gotta start embracing the requirement part if you want to
continue with the giving part. So I changed my attitude.
I caught myself, and I started thinking them and showing
real gratitude for how busy I was instead of complaining
about how busy I was. And then guess what. It
opened up the windows of heaven and some more blessings

(07:23):
got pulled out. It just works that way all the time,
for everybody, for me, for you, for everybody. So listen,
y'all again. Your appreciation and gratitude is the key to
having more. Your appreciation and gratitude is the key to
continued blessings, and your appreciation and gratitude is the only
way that you can get those windows of heaven to

(07:46):
open up and pull out these blessings that you won't
have room enough to receive. You got to act like
you're glad for what you got in order to get more.
You feel me, huh, let's go.
