Y'all know what time y'all don't know y'all back all suit looking back to back down, giving the mother like the moking buck bus things and its sting me true good it Steve listening to me together for Steve. Please to Moby, I don't join join me to be doing me. You gotta turn ing them. You gotta turn turn turn, got to turn out to turn the water the water. Come come on your uh huh I show will a good morning everybody you're listening to the voice, Come on dig me now one It only Steve Harvey oh Man got a radio show. Man got a radio show and a whole lot mold too, man. God is good to me. I have no other explanation, if I have no other explanation of my existence and where I stand in this thing called life, except if it was not for the goodness of God Almighty. If it was not for His grace and his mercy, There's no way I could exist the way that I do. I would not be who I am or where I am. I am who I am and where I am simply because God is who he is. If it was not for God, I would have no testimony for you, because I would have failed every single test, plain, pure and simple. I can sit here today and til you flat out that it is purely because of God's grace and mercy that I exist today because of His favor. See now He shows us favor in life because of a combination of things I've discovered. And this is not the whole answer to life. I can assure you as not. But this is a combination that I've grown to understand better and better, and I wish I had gotten it earlier in my life. But here it is. If you take faith and you combine it with an incredible work ethic, then God has the greatest opportunities to show you favor. That's the best way I can explain success to you from my standpoint. It is the combination of faith and work that produces the most opportunities for God to show you favor. See a lot of times we want God to bless us, but we ain't doing nothing for him to bless So now we sideways in the equation a little bit. But see, if you had the faith in God that God can do anything but fail, that God will get you through, that God will see you through, that that God is the God you serve as the greatest gift of all good things if you kept that faith intact through it all, and you produced an incredible work ethic that allows the most opportunities for God to show you favor. See, without that what you want God to do? See, you can have faith and be sitting at the house watching TV. There's nothing being produced, no opportunities for God to show your favor. And you got to do some things man, that you are uncomfortable doing, or don't feel like doing, or something that don't have the right payoff right in front of your face, with the faith that it will payoff later on. See, too many people are working for the right now reward, and the right now reward is not how it works. Sometimes the reward is coming later on up the road. But the only way you can know that is if you got to You got to apply the faith and see the reason you don't know that that's coming like that, or you have to have faith to believe that it is coming. Because faith is the belief in things that you cannot see. That's what faith is. You know you're standing at let me give you them. You're standing at the cross walk with a walk sign on it and the sign flashing on the corner. Don't walk then that the signs say walk. What do you think your chances are making it across that street? Is well, pretty good because guess what the signs say walk. You can see the other side. There's other people in the cross walk walking, So guess what. You strike out blindly? It don't take a lot of faith to get across that street. That's that's That's not why I'm talking to you about. I'm talking about the faith, the belief in things that you cannot see, the faith that what I'm doing today, I believe in my heart of heart that God wouldn't bring me this far to leave me. That God is a true and living God, that he keeps his promises, that later on, there's things that I'm working towards right now gonna pay off later on. See, too many people want to reward right now. See that's not the exhibition of faith. If it's the right thing to do, if it's if it's a good thing to do, if it's a just thing to do. See if it's in it, it ain't God. You can just clear on up right there. You can stop all the wandering. If that's his voice talking to you, if it's the right thing to do, if it's sin in it, it's not God talking to you, kill it. You you you can shut it down. You ain't got to wonder about it. Go down there in secret venge that ain't God. Go tell him off when you see him. That ain't God. Anything that's God's sin in it, is not God's voice telling you to do it, So you can you can kill that conversation to date. That's how you know. But if you align yourself up man and you and what you're doing is just and right and correct and pleasing in the sight of God, it'll pay off for you later on. And see here's here's here's the best way I can tell to it. Here's another one. When you're going somewhere, when you're when you're on the road to going somewhere, and you know the somewhere that you're trying to get to. Let's say you set a gold or vision for yourself. You know where you want to get to. You got a good idea, and you own your way to going there. Listen to me when it gets hard, and it is going to get hard, when it gets difficult, and it is going to get difficult when it becomes challenging, and it is going to become challenging when it becomes all three of those things. When it don't look like it's gonna happen, don't stop and complain so much. But see, I know he didn't bless me. But in the middle of it, man, I felt a little heavy. And you got to be careful when it gets hard for you, because you'll find yourself complaining. And when you're complaining. See, what you can't do is you can't complain so much that you forget that the place that you're trying to go to you actually own your way there still. See, don't get caught up into complaining and then lose sight of your blessing that's actually happening to you. What really, man, of all the times to register a complaint to God, to sit up and go, hey, man, I didn't want to wanted to ease back into this thing. Ease back in, man, you d it's it's a tornado world around you. You You ain't got time to ease back in. You got it going and jump back in it. It is what it is to whom much is given, much is required. Always appreciate the blessings, don't get so caught up into complaints that you lose sight of the blessings. Man. God got a lot for you in your life, man, but you gotta have them two things, y'all. You gotta take that faith, and you got to apply a crazy work ethic to it. And that creates the most opportunities for God to show your favor. And when God starts showing your favor, man, all of them seeds you plant, all of that, all of that wheat you've been sewing, all of that hard work you've been put in God to pay it off, and he'll pay it off in ways that you don't even see coming.

Coming up in thirty two after the hour, some trending world news people Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau apologize for wearing brown and blackface on three, count them, three separate occasions. Ain't none gonna happen to him? We'll be back right after this. You're listening Steve Harpy Morning Show. All right, guys. In trending world news, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau apologized yesterday afternoon about the controversy over him appearing in pictures from years ago dressed in black face and brown face. The first picture emerged of Trudeau wearing dark makeup and a turban at an Arabian Nights party in two thousand and one. Then Time magazine published a picture of him wearing a black face from a yearbook at a school where he was a teacher, And then a video was released of Trudeau wearing an Afro wig and singing Day Day by Harry Billefonte. He Trudeau, you get a good costume, you go with He up to reporters in Winnipeg on Thursday, where he apologized for wearing brown face and black face. Take a listen. I want to begin by saying a few words directly to racialized Canadians who face discrimination every single day in their lives, even in the country like Canada. What I did hurt them, hurt people who shouldn't have to face intolerance and discrimination because of their identity. This is something that I deeply, deeply regret. Darkening your face, regardless of the context or the circumstances, is always unacceptable because of the racist history of black face. I should have understood that then and I never should have done it. He's still that dad classed a month. They always know what party to wear. That them whatever you know, I ain't no man, I just whatever. Dog, Yeah, you know this probably ain't nothing gonna happen. So I'm gonna step down and even get voted out next well when when um, when asked if the public can't expect more pictures of him in blackface to come out, Trudeau said he just couldn't be sure. It couldn't be because that was because that was one of my favorite outfits. I can't I would have been a party that was one of my favorite I pretty show I had it on. I can't look. I can't tell you and tell us damn show had it? Well, No, I've had it. Let me think. I want one time I went to a banquet I wore that, and then I I want one night at a home at a buffet. It was a fried chick. I thought that was be more inappropriate. And then I just showing tail at just kids school that you. I wore showing tail on fourth of July one year. He was a teacher. I wanted everybody to be free, set me, and so I wore an Yeah. He talking about even in a country like Canada, man like racism everywhere. Pot it's north of the border, south of the border, it's oversee, it's in Europe. Yeah yeah, yeah, man, don't what else you got no being here? Well, that was his favorite out I wore on Easter. I was a chocolate the Easter bunny one year, chocolate, chocolate chocolate. It was a chocolate center. Is that true? Yeah, I've burned that too. And then I walked in Irish pub and came in as the only black leper coup. One other time, just one other time. I think that was a photo. Not sure if phone cameras was out then in eighty four and was no phone cameras, but that somebody had a polaroid it was. It was a Satan Hawker's dance and I came in at Satan Oh. And then I'm gonna apologize for this because I know this is coming out. One time I did a poster or I was on a pancake box. Yeah, I was hugged. I already know that's gonna come out because my wife put me in the cost dude. She did to make up because I didn't know how to tie the bandadda and she did well. And asked a lot of people thought I was Tupac. But yeah, a lot of people thought I was Tupac. Buts and a wife, all right. When they asked him if he'll step aside ahead of his re election next month, Trudeau brushed off the question. He said, I will continue to do the work that is necessary to keep us moving forward in the right way. Another reason I'm not dropping out the election is y'all need a person that's been black and white understand about that. I've had that outfit on enough times. Well, I could relate to everybody. Anybody, I'm gonna turn this what's really sad? Though he could not just say there's no more pictures, that's sad more he everybody has it plat pass and I've been a twenty eight Christmas part each time. But what about before cell phones? Well, I know I wore it six times to do it severs. Where did you go as I went? One time? I went at Frederick, I knew it. Then another time I went as Hard Tubby. Then I went one year at Malcolm Action, then another year I went Malcolm. Now, you know, I try to put it into it about any means. That's one year I went marm Luther King and then the one year I just tried to have fun when he didn't actually went his moms. Maybe moms, Maybe I can't believe that he said that. He can't be that. He's probably saying he may as well be honest with it now because if they find some at least he'll be in the clear. He didn't say there will never be any more pictures. Oh you found that? Okay?

Sexy and simple minded. Dear Stephen Shirley. I am a twenty nine year old man, and three months ago I started dating a gorgeous woman in her mid twenties. She has the best body, smooth and glowy chocolate skin, the sexiest voice, and she is the best that I ever had, if you know what I mean. She's very affectionate and she treats me well, but she's missing one important thing a brain. I hate to say it, but I like her a lot, but she's very simple minded. At first, I overlooked it because the sex was so good. But now I'm starting to notice. When we go shopping, she has trouble doing even the most basic math at the cash register. When I give her directions to meet me somewhere, she has trouble with right turns versus left turns. My sister enjoys talking to her. She is so dizzy and it's amusing to her. My sister asked my girl if she had any any ambitions, and she responded, no, I don't like guns. She had any ambitions not ammunition? Yeah, right, not ammunition. Last week, I admitted to my girl that I have been having second thoughts about our relationship, and within an hour of that conversation, she put it down that is in all caps. Put it down in all caps in the bedroom, and there was no way I was going to leave her. After that, I feel stuck. She is beautiful and the total package on the outside, but I don't think she would ever bring much else to the table. I can't imagine her raising kids because she can't even spell basic words or use proper punctuation. On the other hand, I've never had loving this good. What should I do? Should I try to make it work with a great woman who's amazing in bed or find a better woman that has a little more going for herself. Your advice as much is most appreciated. Well, I mean, haven't we all had a variation of this issue at some point in time? I mean to some degree. You know, we talk to our girlfriends. He puts it down in the bedroom, but hey, he's got a tooth missing, or I don't like the way he dresses, or he puts it down in the bedroom he lives with his MoMA, or he's too cheap, or he's too short. Whatever it is. You know, it's always something, isn't it. In this instance, you're with a woman who's beautiful, the best body, smooth, glowy chocolate skin, sexy voice, the best loving you ever had. But she's not too bright, you're saying. I think the good news is you're young. You don't have to decide right now today whether or not to get married and have kids and all of that. You're young. I mean, you know, you guys could just enjoy each other, have fun right now. You don't have to make that heart of a decision, even though I know you're thinking of your future. If you fall in love with her and can't live without her, then you're going to have to discuss her education. You're going to have to discuss that. I mean, you know she may have a learning disability. You don't know. You said she has trouble with left and right, that maybe that's something simple that can be fixed. It might just discuss her education with her. If you fall in love and can't live without her him, I'm hey, did this dude twenty nine years old? He needs a real damn it body. You ain't got no time to fix nobody the same education he says, she's simple man, there's not no damn education. Twenty year old man three months ago to our dating, this gorgeous won't lord, best body, smooth, chocolate skid SEXI voice, best heat ever hanged if you know what I mean? We know exactly what you mean. Affectionate, treats me well, but she missed one important thing. Listen, it is a brain. What what the brain is missing? Boy? Listen to me. Come on, I hate to say it because I like her a lot, but she's simple mind. Let's let's okay, let's stop this simple minded though. Okay, what you want me to say? Sure, okay, I can't say what he trying to say. You want me to just keep saying simple minded? Star with the same. I can't say that. What was? I'm politically incorrect now because I want to use the worst simple to simple starts with an he didn't already use it. Sexy, she got the best body, smooth, she got chocolate skin, she got the sexiest. Boy. He liked S words, so why stop as simple minded? Let's use the S word because he liked S word. Sure, she is in the letter, starting is in the letter smooth skin, sexiest, she's she ain't got no damn brain. I don't know why we can't tell the truth on this show no more, because political correctness is killing comedy. But I'm not gonna let Just like I would never let a woman ruin her life with the wrong man, I'm not fit to let this young man ruin his life. Now let's just go over where he at with this. I overlooked at it first cast to sex where he would go with another ass was so good, But now I'm starting to notice starting. That's another another end. When we go shopping, that's another as. She has trouble with the most basic math at the cash res. She don't know how much change she posted when I gave her directions to meet me somewhere. That's another ass. She has trouble with right turns versus left turn Who the hell don't know they right from they left a baby, Charlotte. I don't want to hear this.

Jake feeling good, good, that is good, all the time, rocking your Cam Newton scar on the GRAM and never mentioning it once. No, you don't go to Steve. You can see it right there. All right, Steve, give us something for the weekend. Baby, Well, you know I'm gonna do like part two, like I promise from yesterday I left off, I was talking about how people sometimes look at other people's lives and the end of it, I was saying, you know how people try to compare themselves to others, and you shouldn't do that because you know what's happening to another person's life, it may never happen in your life. What you think of another person got undeservedly over you. That's not your call. And I was saying in closing that favor ain't fair. It's not fair. Favor, God's favor and grace is not fair. And what I mean by that is this, if God gave out his favor and grace to us according to who deserves it, none of us would get it. Nobody would ever get his favor and his grace. But he gives it out randomly. He gives it out, whether you ask for it or not. It's like, for example, I said, ye today, I hardly ever go to bed and ask God to wake me up in the morning. But guess what. He didn't woke me up for sixty two years, and I don't even really remember too many times ever saying God, wake me up in the morning. He just did it. You know what that was. That was favor, that was grace. And guess what, he did it without me ask it. So that's what I mean when I say favor ain't fair. He just gives it. And all of us have been a recipient of his favor and his grace, all of us. You know what. I've said this on the radio quite a few times. But justice it's when you get what you deserve. Mercy's when you don't get what you deserve. Grace is when you get what you don't deserve. Now, who in here can say they ain't got nothing they didn't deserve. Of course you have if you got any sense in your head and you think about it for a minute. But that's what I keep talking about, how important it is to just have a relationship with God. Where you go to church, ain't none of my business. What you're calling your Lord and Savior, God, Christ, Jehovah Allah. That's none of my business. That's your business. That's the relationship you have with him. All relationships with God is good. I'm not that God to stand up and say if you don't believe what I believe, you ain't right, because who am I to pass that judgment. It's a lot of Jehovah's witnesses who live great lives, a lot of Muslims who live great lives. I'm neither one. But I can respect the person's beliefs. It's not for me. I choose not to be that person. My job, one of my reasons is to just get people to have relationship with God. His an advantage to it. Let me show this to you, man, when you have relationship with God, it changes your whole perspective. It really does when you spend time talking to God, when you just spent Jeff, you just spent the day saying thank you consciously for everything you think God has thrown your way. What it does is it changes your perspective. Because then what happens is when you show gratitude while other people keep only seeing what they think is coincidence or what they think is just natural occurrences, you see miracles. Do you understand that when other people see what they think are occurrences or just natural coincidences, you see miracles. You start when you have relationship with God, you start your day out in expectation. You start your day out with gratitude, making you grateful and joyous, and you're waiting to see what God gonna do today. I wake up to see what God gonna do today. And when I get bad news, it's okay because guess what I know that's a reason for this bad news, Because behind every moment of adversity there is a lesson and a blessing and all you got to do is sit there. Bishop Jakes was on my should the last day of my talk show, and you know what he said. He said, pain always leaves a wonderful present and I sat there her, I said, WHOA. And when I went home, I thought about it. Pain always leaves a wonderful present, and so I tried to test that theory by thinking of all the painful stuff that's happened in my life. One of my most painful moments was the loss of my mother. That pain, for me, was one of the most the most horrific pains of my life. It left a wonderful present, her memory, all the things she taught me, the pictures I see of her. Every time I feel down, I remember something she taught me. I hear her saying words all the time. Man, the words my mama say to me are in my heart ached even harder now that she's gone. She left a wonderful present. You know what it was. Every time I get in trouble, I hear her voice. Every time I need the right answer, I remember a lesson she taught me. Every time I see her picture, I've now began to smile and I feel comfortable. When I used to see her picture, I would break down crying. She's left a wonderful present. You know what she left me, her memory, She left me her lessons in life. She left me all them Sunday school classes. She left me my faith in God. My mama left me so much. Man, she left a wonderful present. She caused me to appreciate life even more. I just that's If you ain't feeling that, I'm sorry, That's just how I feel. I just wanted to share it with you. Behind every pain, pain always leaves a wonderful present. I have a great weekend.
