Today's show is pre recorded. Y'all know what time y'all don't know y'all all looking back to back down, giving them just like theming buck things. And it's not me through good Steve Haring to mother star, don't joy. You gotta use that turn You got to turn to turn them out. Turn, got to turn them out. Then turn the water the water. Y'all, come, come on your bad Uh huh, I sure will. Good marded everybody you're listening to the voice, come on dig me now, one it all. It's Steve Harvey got a radio show. Well all right, I've learned something and it sharing time. And I am ever appreciated. I do appreciate God for all that he allows me to learn in my life. One of the best lessons I've learned is that hardship teaches you some great lessons. Challenges brings about some of my best results. I think what I'm trying to say is in every challenge and hardship, every setback, I've learned something so so valuable. So here's what I've You know, I've known this, but I've just learned it at a different angle. Appreciation and gratitude 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 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 for him just touch in my life the way he has, I mean, I'm I'm not hearing 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 it your genuine appreciation and gratitude has been the key to you having more for your continued blessings and for making room for having to open up and pour out blessings that you don't have room enough to receive. If you look at it, see God being a fair and just God, which he is, why would he put more on you than you can bad? 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 when it hid made you feel you made it. Now, what makes people 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 than you can bear, as long as you stay connected to God, you can get through anything. But you lose that connection, you lose that communication, you lose that relationship with him. If you're not having a relationship with God, then who you're having a relationship with now? And it ain't but two forces at work at all time. It's good and evil, it's positive and negative. It's God'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 stay up in. If you're not trying to be righteous in your way, then you allow evil to step in. If 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 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? 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 it and wondering at all, like here, I ended up checking myself and going, man, 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 having 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 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 gratual, no gratitude for the minimal, why would he give you the maximum? I mean, I'm just really just trying to put it real, real, simple, so I can keep understanding 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 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 business and how busy I was, and I noticed that 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 act what all comes along with it. Because to whom much is given, much is required. You got to 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 him 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 got poured 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 it's the only way that you can get those windows of heaven to open up and pour out to these blessings that you won't have room enough to receive. You gotta act like you're glad for what you got in order to get more. You feel me, let's go. You're listening show, ladies and gentlemen, let me have you undivided attention please yesterday open up the show with a throwback, and it felt so good to me. I'm gonna do it again. I'm on. When you think of love, gotta get it on your mind. You, when you think of love, gotta get it on your mind. You, when you think of love God, and get it on all over your mind.

I've never seen another country do this that's supposed to be a powerhouse, a great nation. It's the most embarrassing dude. And these ignorant and I'm gonna say it, man, ignorant Republicans who are actually believed even that this election was rigged just because this so asked loser said so Now you didn't believe that too.

See he don't see. So who we loved is gone. All we had to do was turn our fury against somebody who has shown us nothing but but hatred and in disregard. So now we got a chance to slap somebody back.

When we first started dating, he said we should keep things between us. We got more serious, I got a new job, and then he proposed. My old co workers found out we are engaged, and they had a fit. One of my former co workers told me that she used to sleep with my man. My fiance admitted it and said it was a mistake. He said, I'm the real deal and the woman of his dreams. So why didn't he tell me this before we got engaged? Tom? Why would he volunteering?

The comments made centered around the reputation of Hallie not being great in bed. When Lisa Ray was asked to clarify whether she was insinuating that Hallie was a bad lover, Lisa Ray said, that's what they say, that's what I read, that's what I heard. Hallie then retweeted an article that covered the Cocktails with Queen's segment and wrote, miss at the real Lisa Ray.

Cartie was criticized for getting twelve kids and twenty five adults together to celebrate Thanksgiving, even though it seemed she appreciated the quality time with family. She understood the criticism and tried to address people's concerns by speaking to the safety precautions she took. She said, sorry, my bad. I wasn't trying to make anyone feel bad. I just had my family in my home for the first time, and it felt so good and it uplifted me. I spent so much money getting everyone tested, but it felt worth it. I wasn't trying to offend anyone. All right, We're moving on. There you go. Time for today. Thank you man. Let's go to miss An ladies and gentlemen. Miss Ann trip. But the news, well, hippie, the first doses of fives coronavirus vaccine have arrived in the United States. That it's here. The vaccine produced in Belgium flown over here. It's in the storage facility in Michigan. Health officials say the minute the government says it's okay for use, the shots can be rushed to wherever they're needed. The Sentence for Disease Control meets today a panel from that anyway from the CDC to discuss who should be first in getting it, most likely hospital and other healthcare workers. Also at the top of the list adults with underlying conditions, people over sixty five years old, also folks who work in grocery stores. By the way, the federal government has also launched something called get This Operation Stolen Promise. It's aimed at identifying preventing the production of bogus vaccines. That's the world we live in. They have now been two other confirmed election losses for Donald Trump. Yesterday, Wisconsin officially certified Joe Biden as the winner of the presidential election there, and Arizona's Secretary of State Katie Hobbs announced that he recount shows Joe Biden won more votes than Trump in her state, and contrary to what Trump claims, she says there was no evidence of any nanigans. Of those three point four two million ballots cast, over eighty eight percent of them were cast early, which provides more proof that Arizona's ballot by mail system works. It's been another case of a white man shooting and killing an unarmed black teenager, supposedly for loud music, this time in Oregon. Authorities say that forty seven year old Robert Paul Keegan is under arrest. Police say Keegan's totally responsible for the murder of Aiden Ellison because he had a gun and he just wanted to use it. There was no reason to murder the young man. Eight years ago, another white man shot and killed an unarmed black teenager. At that time, it was in Jacksonville, Flaherty you may remember this case was supposedly playing loud music outside of a convenience store in the parking lot. That white man is now serving a life prison sentence. By the way, the American Medical Association is now declared racism to be a public health threat and for its victims. The AIMA says it causes mental health issues like depression and anxiety, poor physical health like diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, and kidney disease. The American Medical Association has now pledged to confront systemic racism and also police brutality. According to MZ, doctors say that the original James Bond Sean Connery died of respiratory failure brought on by pneumonia, and they also say because of his age also that also factored into how he responded. The ninety year old Oscar winner died on October thirty first. And finally, today is National Courage Day and also appropriately enough rose apart. Today we honor all of those who had enough courage to stand up and put their lives on the line. Many lost their lives. Now back to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. You're listening to the Steven Show. All right, Steve, here, we are a lot of things going on. You know, it's still very political in the state of Georgia because of the Senate runoff races. And did you have a special message to the voters?

Thirty four minutes after, we'll talk about this story involving a black restaurant owner in Texas. Right after this, you're listening to the Morning Show, a black restaurant owner in Dallas, Texas went off, I mean really went off on a section of mostly black women after one of them got up in their booth and tworked. And now the black restaurant owner is getting dragged and some people are plotting him while also defending his actions. The incident went down at a joint called True kitchen and cocktails. It opened just about five months ago. When there is it? Is it nice? Yeah? Okay, well it's owned by a black guy. His name is Kevin Kelly Um. Multiple women got up and danced on their chairs against a glass wall. Take a listen. I invested a lot of money in the buying this building. Get to developing this concept so black people can have somewhere nice to go to. Okay, nowhere where we can feel good about ourselves, and they somewhere where our people can feel good about ourselves that they culture. Okay, yeah, now, no real talk, and so all that's working. Taking the peak. Don't bring it here because we're a restaurant. And so beyond that, seventy five percent of our customers, the ladies, and I'm gonna be in the show, respect for themselves for how they carry themselves here. So how can I other being to respect himselves? And you guys are talking on last year? Do you want to do it? You have my restaurant because I need it for our people and I need it for our culture. So don't do it. I'll don't do it again. I don't want to hear it. You don't like that, get out because I don't need your money. I need to provide something for my people. They don't do it again, thank you. I'm not mad at him. That was a black restaurantstail. Look, it's supposed to run, man. It's not a place to twerk, you know, man. And like he said, he wanted to have somewhere nice for black people to go, and then there's always somebody gonna mess that up. Go to the club, Magic City, go to strip club. You want to twork, Go anywhere, man, Why are you in this man's establishment talks? Kids come in here to eat. There's people come in here to eat, have dinner, everybody. Everybody. Don't think your ass is fine. I might want to see all that. Okay enough. A lot of people did not like Kevin's tone. They felt like, if it's a restaurant, it's bumping music, it's serving boots, it's promoting itself like a club, that's right for dancing. So that's what the ladies did. They got up and danced. He eventually apologized for using profanity during his speech, but he says he's standing his ground on the twerking. So you know, I mean what you said, Junior. You know there's a lot of things going on, you know, running the restaurant. Man. You know it's hot in that kitchen, you know, so get it as stressed and everything. You know, he had just had a grease fire. It could have been a lot of reasons why he went off like that. Ain't saying his tones. You know, I didn't like his tone. What I mean, I didn't have a problem with his tone. It's his place, you know, it's I don't But look, man, hey listen, do you know what people have to go through the open up businesses, what they have to go through to get the loan, the all the permits that were licensing. Man, do you know what you got to go through to have this? Man? And then you you have a vision for what a place you try? So what you playing music and that It don't mean you got to stand up, put your ass up in the window and start twerking. This ain't I think it's disrespectful of the other customers that don't pay. People come in there and eat, They don't come in there and see you twerk. If he hired dancers for twerking on the tables, that would be different. That was New York boy boy boy be out of here so fast. I ain't got no problem with his tone. I support the brother, And look, man, you know what we gotta stop with all this. This is our freedom mess. We we are a people who are steady trying to climb. Were steady trying to climb. We can't have nobody stopping the climb. You don't know what this young man went through to get his place, and and maybe he don't want to see it. He said, I don't need your money. He tried to have a right to refuse service. Yet we didn't call to I found out that was his third time over there. Now I understanding that was his asking him to stop. Tone. Yeah, all right, I know that it was offensive to some of the others. I can promise you with the tworking or the tone, the working to some of the other women. You don't know in Dallas. No, I don't a going to behavior. It was just just man might have a wife tone.

It is the Strawberry LETTA thank you Nephew, subject why the good Guys Always Finished? Last. Dear Stephen Shirley. I'm a forty nine year old black man and I met a thirty nine year old black female and we hit it off. She told me she'd just gotten out of any emotion emotionally abusive relationships, so I wanted to treat her extra special. She told me that she wasn't used to men being honest and reporting in to her throughout the day. I thought that it may be too much for her to handle because she has major trust issues, but I stayed with her. I was happy to help with her bills. I even paid her rent for two months when she got in a financial bind. Then the drama started and she started comparing me to her old boyfriend. She expects me to dress a certain way, and she always criticizes how I get my hair cut. It's clear she's accustomed to bad boys and that's not my style. The more I did to help make her life easier. The more disrespectful she got. When school started back, I told her I could pick up her son daily and keep him until she got off work. He's twelve and she doesn't want him staying in the after school program because of COVID nineteen. I work from home, so I was trying to help. She had a fit about it, and Darner accused me of indecency and wanting to spend time with her son. I didn't like it one bit, but after a day or two passed, I could see where she was coming from. I've been with her for ten months, so I thought it was cool, but my bad. I talked to my pastor about my relationship, and he said, some woman. Some women don't know a good man when they see one, and she's one of them. I wanted to show her a different way of life because she's a beautiful woman. My pastor advised me to walk away until she gets help. What do you think should I let her go? Yeah? I think you should. I appreciate what you're trying to do with her, but why continue to put yourself through this? Really? I think your pastor's right. She doesn't understand that she does have a good man. Your intentions are good but unappreciated here. And do you know how many women would love to have a man, a good man like you, who helps him out financially, helps him with the kids, and the big one one who's honest and who checks in and does all the things that you say you do. You're not over there lying and cheating if you can't get her to reset and reevaluate you and this relationship. I just think, you know, she needs to realize that this is what she should want, although she doesn't want it. You say she wants a bad boy, then yes, I think you should let her go and stop wasting your time. Steve, hey man, look I got she may be beautiful, but some wrong. You know, some people can't let go of the past and which prevents them from having any type of future. How many times have I said on this radio show that you can't drive your car looking in the rear view mirror. How many times have I said that? And this woman right here, now she got a problem. Now she told you she wasn't used to me and being honest and reporting it in to her throughout the day. Now you you you thought that might be a problem because she wanted you to be honest and reported and you ain't hand no problem. You give it a try, and you know she got some major trust issue, and so you stayed with her. Now you're helping out with her bills. You paid the rent for two months when she got in financial trouble. And now the drama started, and she started comparing me to her old boyfriend. And here here where we got to start thinking about getting out dog if she was in an abusive relationship, emotionally abusive, and wasn't getting cheat it right. She expects you to dress a certain way, and she always criticizes how cutting my heir. If you like the way he dressed better than me, and you liked his hair cut better than me, why don't you just go back to his abusive ass? WHOA See? Now you know this is what non abuse looks like. This is what non abuse dresses like. Now, if you want the same old, same old, they're just going back into it. But this is what non abusive looks like. And this is what it dresses like. Now it's clear she's accustomed to bad boys and that's not my style. Well let her go get another bad boy. See, some people ain't happy, man. Some people don't know how to move on. Some people are so accustomed getting treated bad that they think it's the norm. It's what President has been doing to this country. He'd delied so many times to these Republicans that they accepted as the norm. Now he says it's a fraudy election. Guess what, Now everybody believe it. Let her go and feel how she want to feel. She liked bad boys, Go get another bad boy. I'm not to do. Just high cut my hair. It's a hair cut. I like a part in my hell. I got to go to work. All right. We'll have part two of Steve's response coming up at twenty three minutes after the hour, subject why the good Guys Always finished Last? We'll get back into it right after this. You're listening Morning show, all right, Steve, come on, let's recap today's Strawberry Letters. Subject why the good Guys Always finished last? Why? I don't know, man, I can consider myself a good guy. Bro. I'm doing all right, So I don't think that's true. I think some good guys end up with bad women. That's what I think, and that's what I think happened in this letter. To this for the year old man. Then a thirty nine year old female hit it off. She was in an emotionally abusive relationship, so he went out his way to treat the extra special. She said, she wasn't used to me and being honest and reporting it into her throughout the day. You know, I thought it might be a little bit too much for me. But then she went on try to give it a shot, because you know, he went on trying to give it because she got some trust issues. But I stayed with her. Then you're helping with her bills and everything for two months. She got in fund. But then she started comparing me to her old boy Fred. She expects me to dress a certain way, and she always criticized how I get my hair cut. Like I said, your abusive boyfriend dressed a certain way and got his hair cut a certain way. Well, this non abusive man dresses like this and gets his haircutting like this. That's what makes me different from him. Now, if you want the same thing, then going back over there, it's clear that she's accustomed to bad boys and that's not my style. The more I did to help make her life easier, the more disrespectful she got sea dog. Listen to me. She wanted them women where she ain't. She ain't happy less there's some drama going on. But I know people like that day. They just ain't happy lest some messages going on. They don't know how to leave well enough alone. They don't do none of that. They just they just got to have some junk going on. So when school started back, I told I could pick up her son daily and keep him until she got off work. He's twelve. She don't want him stand in after school program called of COVID nineteen. So the brod tried to help out. I work from home, so I was trying to help. Now get a load of this. He tried to help. She had a fit about it, and damn near accused me of indecency and wanting to spend time with her son. Wow, I hold up. I didn't like it one bit. But after a day or two passed, I could see where she was coming from. One holder, man, Hold, at what point do you see where a woman coming from that is accusing you of being indecent with her twelve year old son? What? What what did I do that? Oh? I see where you're coming from. We was hugging what No, don't this is again? Now, I don't know if her abusive relationship before included something with her son, and then you might have a problem because maybe something abusive happened to her son. And if that's what you're talking about, then you can see where she's coming from. Oh Kate, But once again, bro, we ain't talking about you. Though, we ain't talking about you. So now I've been with her ten months, I don't know how to hear you hadn't done this for ten months. Dog, ain't no way in him? So I thought it was cool. But my bad. I talked to him a past about the relationship. He says, some women don't know a good man when they see one. That's true. I want to show her a different way of life because she's a beautiful woman. My past advised me to walk away until she gets help. Do you think I should let her go? Run? Dog? Yeah, dog, get out of air. Listen to me. Everything you do. She got a problem with you, try to help with her son. She got problem with that you're dressed a certain way. She got a problem with that. You get a hair cut, get the little pot put in your head because you square you know she got a problem with that. She don't like nothing you do. You help her with her bills she made. You're sitting up here. She wants some drama in a lot. You know, y'all just walking the house, start cussing. One day she'd go, oh my god, I love you. I love you. No see Broun, listen to me. Your pastor is right until she gets help. Walk away, because bro, you find to blow another ten months. I got she fine, But remember what somebody's grandmama told me a long time ago. I don't care how fine a woman is. There's a man somewhere sick and tired of her ass. I don't care how fine she is. You can believe that. I don't care how rich you dude is. That's a woman somewhere. Don't give a damn about that money a minute. But there are some women somewhere and don't care about that. Some woman to sit up in there and whatever. But you know, man, I would get on out, man, and go on and find you somebody that appreciates getting treated well. I wish I would often take care of you little punk as. And he accuse me of someone let it bragged as staying I didn't get the cold. Yeah, but there's no Steve. But there are plenty of women who would have gate him, plenty. You got frustrated, sta we got mad man went down here to so she don't want to catch a cold? Well, I let him stay. You want to see my seven point m want to see this little hardhead boy. I'm trying to help you out. Yeah, let's skip that. I'm not I'm not gonna continue to see nobody that accused me of being decent with a little kid. Man. Let me you better get out of that though.

That's what I was trying to absorb and work through and orgasm and even that's what Hallie said. But anyway, that Hallie ain't good in bed? What else coming from what Hallie said? That's what she heard, and that's what she read, and that's what they say. That's Lisa Ray said, you know streets. Yeah, I ain't never heard that. Well, I ain't in the streets, so I ain't never the streets just because she mean anything. Yeah, and Hallie took it well, Hallie Dally joked about it herself. Yeah, she's asked her an, I'll tell you all you need to know. Yeah, go ahead until you hate, you hate. He got a hail. But but look, who's very quiet though you hurt? I just don't like it what's talking about her crying? I just don't like it when people start talking about her and being disrespectful. It's her, what Hallie be, what Lisa Ray was doing, it's very disst slander, it's slander. It's just just just you're just wrong. You're just not a good person. You're not do that. What oh man, tell me I apologize for somebody speaking about you like that? Is this wrong? All yourself together? So quiet, Carla, because she's a good person. All right, coming up, it's our last break of the day, it is. And if you don't believe it, stick around, And of course we'll have some closing remarks from the one and only Steve Harvey coming up at forty nine minutes after right after this, you're listening String Show, All right, Steve. Right before we get to your closing remarks, we have to remind Georgia that this is a very important election coming up. Here's the information for the Georgia Senate runoff date. You can request your absentee ballot right now, because December seventh is the voter registration deadline in Georgia. Now December fourteen through the thirty first early voting, that's when you can early vote. And then January fifth of next year, twenty twenty one is the actual election day. That is when we will go to the polls yet again and vote for Reverend Rafael Warnock and John Ossoff. We are sending them to the Senate, We're sending them to DC. Okay, so here he is an even number of Republicans and Democrats and Vice President elect Kamala Harris will be the tiebreaker and it would be a nice partying kill for absolutely. Absolutely. And you know, let me clarify something that I said in an earlier break that I had a blessed year. I'm not a person who's callous and I do understand that's people who struggle this year. I'm very aware of that. All I was saying was I feel so blessed this year that I'm still alive, that my loved ones are here. And at the same time I realize that everybody's loved ones ain't here. But the blessing in that is that you are. You know, nobody wants to lose a love one. All of us on this show have suffered that loss, and I mean deeply close to us. Nobody wants that. But at the end of the day, I'm still grateful that I'm here, that God has spared me, that God has strengthened me and gave me the wherewithal and the fiber and the strength to get through the difficult times. I've had a lot of bad news in twenty twenty, but I ain't had no more bad news than nobody else. It's some people that had some horrific news in twenty twenty. Somebody asked me one time, in the middle of the pandemic, man, it's got to be the worst shiar of your life, wouldn't you say, I said, now, not twenty Actually wasn't my worship? He said, Mary how could you say that we ain't working right now? It's a pandemic. Brother. If I could describe to you some years of my life, you would sit over here and feel the same gratitude I feel. But ain't that true about all of us? Though? If you really take inventory of your life as rough as twenty twenty has been, there are millions of us listening to this radio show that has that's had rougher years than twenty twenty. I know we didn't lost some key people out there. I know some people have lost some key people, but I hadn't lost some too, and I've had some rougher years. But through all of it, the part that I maintained is the fact that God has blessed me in spite of the things that life has happened to have thrown at us. Of all the things life has tossed you, don't you feel some sense of gratitude for the fact that He strengthened you and gave you favor, and he gave you mercy and grace and allowed you to survive at all. Don't you get it? Man? Don't let the devil rob you of that moment of realizing that there is a blessing behind some of these moments of adversity. The devil's job is to make you think you ain't blessed. His job is to rob you of your destiny. His job is to make you not be able to see the good things that God has done by causing you to focus on only the things that's happening in your life that's negative. But I have news for you. Everybody has something negative going on in their life. Every last one of us has something negative going on in our life. You're not the only one. But the devil will get up in your head and have you thinking yours is worse than anybody else's. And you going through something that you can't believe because that you ain't nobody else you know going through it, but just somebody going through it. And it's somebody going through it way in you. So, in spite of all of it, find the gratitude in twenty twenty. I know it just seems like one big piece of bad news after the next, But there's some good in this. Man, You just got to open your eyes and become keenly aware of all the things God has done. God has been good to so many of you, man, so many of you in spite of how it went, But how about how it could have went? Do you ever think about that? Sometimes? Because when it's going bad for me, you know, and I have a tendency to do, I think, Man, this could have been worse if it wasn't for His grace and mercy. This could have actually been worse than it was. As bad as it is, as bad as it was, do you realize it could have been worse? Have you ever thought about as bad as it was and as bad as it is, do you know that it could have been you? Have you ever thought about it? Man? I do, and I get grateful when I'm having down moments. I had one the other day. I caught myself and I started going over everything I was grateful for. Gratitude erases a lot of misery, man. But if you never take the time to become grateful, to show gratitude, you're gonna miss out on a lot of blessings. Man, Because as the devil parks itself around you and tries to get in your vision, your hopes, your dreams, your memory and all of this, he will set it up to where you can't see actually what God is doing for you. Sometimes man, you have to realize that in your moments of downness, in your moments of despair, that do you really realize that God is processing you, that He's actually preparing you for something you ask for. He it has got to get you ready, gotta get you season some problems you face so he can teach you how to deal with them, so when they come the next wave, you'll know how to cope with them. God is good, man, don't ever lose sight of that. Please, don't be grateful. God is good. He always has been, he always will be.
