Today's show is pre recorded. Y'all know what time. I don't know. Y'all have a suit on the don giving them like the million bucks things, and it's not good at listen to mother, I don't join joining me. You gotta use that turn you're going to do. You gotta turn to turn them out. Turn. You got to turn them out to turn the water the water go. Come come on your tha h huh, I sure will. Good morning, everybody. Are you are listening to the voice? Come on dig me now, one and only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Okay, I got something for you today. I'm gonna have a conversation this morning about my understanding of grace now that I've gotten older and I've come in to a better understanding of a lot of things I didn't know about when I was younger. This is just my interpretation of grace. Now once again, y'all listen to me. I ain't nobody's pastor, I ain't nobody's minister. So you know, I'm pretty sure you can go to church and get a far more extensive definition of one I'm giving you. I'm just talking to people. You know. Grace is this thing that that God provides for us, and grace's just things that you get that's really undeserving, you know. I mean, I look at my life as it is today. You know. Look, I work hard and I have faith in God that I do so things are going to happen in my life. But the way my life is now, I don't. I don't. I don't deserve all of this. I don't don't. I don't look at it that way. I have been the beneficiary of God's grace. I have aligned myself in a position to accept whatever grace God has for me, and it will be far abundant and exceedingly in anything you could think of. His grace supersedes anything you could possibly imagine. You know, the goals that I set and the aspirations that I shoot for, and the things that I have on my dream board. I have the faith that God will give it to me. But what He does with grace, he gives you far more than that. He gives you what He he has for you, not what you can see. You can't see all He has for you. It's impossible. Who are you? How can you possibly imagine what he can imagine? How can you possibly think? How he can think? How how can you possibly do what he can do? How can it be that isn't a single mind living or a collection of minds that could have thought of earth? What in your wildest imagination could have made you think of Earth? The stars, the heavens, the oceans, the galaxy, the constellations. What in your mind? What in any man's mind? We can point at it and analyze it, but we show it couldn't have thought of it. So come on now, I'm talking about lining yourself up with God's grace, which he will give to you if you if you want some of it now. But now his thing about grace, it can't be bought. If it could, if it could be bought, I'm telling you I would pull all all the money I have and dump it into grace, because, after discovering what it is, it's this goodness that God shines on you simply as a reward of some type for his love for you and for you attempting for you, attempting to do right, not because you get it right. Because if He judged us purely on how we are the right and wrong of it, we would all be doomed, all of us, every last one of us, would be doomed because we all fall short, we all make mistakes, we all sin, we all get it wrong from time to time. Nobody's perfect man. Now I understand what my mother was saying about cleaning the house. All I want is a little more grace. All I need is a little more grace when the last time you ask God for some grace. No, I'm not talking to you like I know everything. If you just benefit from His grace, which you already have, but if you're not aware of it, you don't know what's going on. Become aware of grace, Get aware of the fact that God does things for you simply because He loves you. He does things for you that you don't even deserve. Somehow you just wonder how you just got over when you didn't even do the things to get over. Sometimes you don't even know how you got that job you got when you ain't even really do the things to get to job. How you end up where you are, all this education you thought you went and got and had, How you end up where you are today in a much better position than your education could have ever gotten you. That's grace. How I get every place I am today. I didn't plan this man. If I could have planned my life the way it is, don't you know how to have done it when I was living in that car? If I knew how to do it. No, I benefited from his grace. I'm just a beneficiary of his grace, of his goodness and his mercy. God's goodness is better than your goodness. God's goodness is better than your mother's goodness. It's better than your wife's or your husband or your booze goodness. God's goodness is different. His goodness Man covers some stuff you can't even imagine. So why are you trying to put your life together when the last time you asked him for just a little bit of grace? When have you thought of your life in terms of the grace that it has already benefited from? Have you ever done that? Man? Just thought about you know you hear songs like my soul looked back and wonder how I got over. That's grace, That's all I can call it. Now. Like I said, you can go to church or somewhere ever you want to, and ministers that the wind at school to teach this thing way better than me. I'm just giving you from a layman standpoint. Man, have you thought about his grace? Would you not bewailed to be a beneficiary of his grace? With not? Now, check this out. The better you try to do, the more grace he'll give to you. And that grace can't be bought. Like I said, it's free. You can't purchase grace. But the better you try to become the more the more grace he gets to put your way. So man, just try Why don't you just try to do better? Look, man, quick tip, mind, I'm gonna start next week. I'm gonna start at the new year. Now you now you do that every year, you know the ems at the new year. I'm eat better at the new year. I'm gonna I'm gonna gonna get in here and the new year. If you're gonna do it, you're gonna do it now. Man, you're gonna do not stop trying do something, do it, stop talking about it, do it now. The best way to benefit from his grace is starting action now in old w now right now today, what you're waiting on. All you're doing is delaying his opportunity to bless you. You know, man, you know, do you know how many times we do that? We delay his opportunity to bless us by not starting now. If you're gonna get healthy, why don't you start now? Now you're gonna trip a little bit called the holidays coming. But you ain't got to eat bad all the time. You could start eating correct today, you could. You could, and then guess what that could be? Some grace on the end of that. I'm just giving you a little cheap analogy. But do you feel what I'm saying to you? Start thinking in terms of grace, what He has done for you and provided for you that you ain't even see coming that you know, you keep calling them blessings and I got that a lot of it, and us all it is. But man, have you thought about the stuff that didn't happen to you? You can't account for I. For me, that's been grace and I'm beneficiary of it. And that's available to everybody that wants sun. Next time you're talking to him, just check in with grace. See what that is. That's that's better than money. You're listening show, ladies and gentlemen, here it is. It's the Steve Harvey Morning Show. Now. I've been starting off with your songs that just out of nowhere. That just meant something to me and all I don't have one this ja ja, let me make love to your loose Yes, yeah, I don't know where that came from.

But how how did you bring all that together? One day? Though? Because well, my father was living he had a tradition with my brothers and I grew up. He just wanted to see his sons all together on Christmas morning. So we all went by his house on Christmas morning. Every Christmas morning he fried oysters. Well, my mamma know I love egg now, so she might. And then my mom would make some hot rolls with it, and you put them fried on she between that hot roll oh like a minute. That's a minute poker, and then some eggna with some nut man on it. So, as my sons have gotten older and all live away from home, I started to tradition years ago.

Man, all right, Steve, let's get to the news. Ladies and gentlemen, Miss Anne trip you guys, Okay, this is a trip with the news. Well. President Biden went national yesterday out line he has planned to deal with the fast spreading omicron COVID variant. Almost everyone who has died from COVID nineteen in the past many months has been unvaccinated unvaccinated. But if you're among the majority of Americans who are fully vaccinated, and especially if you've gotten the booster shot, that third shot, you have much, much less reason to worry. Mister Biden says the government is going to deliver five hundred million free rapid test kits to Americans while also increasing support for hospitals and expanding availability of vaccines. The omicron variant has become the dominant strain of the virus in less than a month, and the President says it's americans patriotic duty now he says, to get vaccinated against the coronavirus. Jurors are going to continue deliberating the manslaughter case against former Minnesota policewoman Kim Potter today. Potter, who's white, charged with last April shooting death of an unarmed young black man named Dante Wright, and after deliberating for about twelve hours yesterday, jurors submitted questions to the judge Regina Chew. First question is if the mary cannot reach consensus, what is the guidance around how long and what steps should be taken? Well, Judge, you kept, responded after rereading, and she read that, and then she reread part of the jury instructions to respond to the question, which says that they should not hesitate to re examine their views, but shouldn't feel forced to surrender their honest opinions just to reach a verdict. Judge also agreed to allow juris to further examine Potter's unloaded gun. They wanted to be able to actually talk to active, feel it, I guess, and feel the weight of it. Stuff. It's been big news this week that West Virginia Democratic Senator Joe Mansion announced that he was definitely not signing on to President Biden's social stimulus package. We talked about that. Everybody's can talk about that. Well, there seems to be a big fly in the ointment, and that fly is the United Mind Workers Union, believe it or not. Apparently, besides Republicans in Congress and dirty energy CEOs, a lot of people in West Virginia were looking forward to the passage of the bill. In a statement the whole work as you when you were politely but firmly asked Senator Mansion to reconsider his no position because of the benefits that would contain, like health of mind. Work is suffering from black lung. A lot of mine workers are dying from that every day. Finally, sad news for soap opera fans. Jerry Douglas, the actor who played the patriarch of the Abbot clan and The Young and the Restless, has died. Jerry Douglas was always the dapper you know, gray haired John Abbott. He was a chairman of Jabbok Cosmetic fo with thirty years. Jerry Douglas died after a brief illness, only three days before his eighty ninth birthday. Now back to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. You're listening to the String Show. Well, it's time for steve favorite segment. It's called as the clo Now, Steve you ready? Are you ready? Stay ready? All right, here we go. This one's from tab A DC. Tab says, I'm forty nine and I'm dating a man that's seventy four. Okay. He looks like he's my age, and he's very athletic and energetic. We have a big problem in the bedroom, and it's not what you think. His problem is that he doesn't know when to stop. The sex can go on for an hour and I have to work, run errands and do other stuff, so he needs to wrap it up sooner. He admitted that he's on medication and the side effect is increased a sexual desire. Desire. He's called me a lightweight and said I'll have to find someone else that is up to the challenge. I hate it when he said stuff like that. Do you think he's just joking. Well, let's go a couple things. First of all. First of all, the seventy four and last too long. In medication, he's lost feeling in certain areas, so the lasting longest. Don't worry, he'd have lost a lot of fear. He knew it. So don't worry about that. That all that hours and all that. Yeah, you know, you know you need gonna pay you a lightweight. I need to get somebody help. And the other thing you said was you forty nine and he's seventy and he looked your age. Not hold up, you're not going forward. He's athletic and energetic. She says, he's seventy four, and he looked your age. Ah, he's seventy four, and you look his age. I didn't think about that. Just say that. Well, I looked at all of it. When you ask me something, we're in here problems because he might not be all that athletic and energetic. Just your ass is older than forty nine physically, and maybe that's what the problem is. Maybe you thinking he more than he really is because you ain't what you're saying you are. Let the church say, man, let men, sometimes the answer is in your own damn question. I believe her. Maybe she ain't an athletic. She ought to get athletics. She would be more like forty nine, most forty yin your women still got it, So she ain't well. Well, he sat in the forward. Well, you got medication that increases his that's viagl. That's what it is.

We got it for you here. It is the Strawberry letter. All right, thank you. Subject my husband's supportive secretary. Dear Stephen Shirley. I've been married for fourteen years and we have two sons. My hus is a middle school principle and I work full time in an office. Excuse me. My husband and I have a great social life, and we used to focus on keeping the romance alive in our marriage, but my boys are very active in sports now, so it's hard to find time to hang out together. It has not affected my husband's social life at all, though he still hangs out after work and I have a big issue with who he chooses to spend his time with. He has been going out with his secretary to have a quick dinner or just to grab a drink, as he says. His secretary is married too, but her kids are grown so she doesn't have to rush home after work. After the first couple of times the two of them went out, I went up to the school and had a talk with both of them. She told me that they are merely co workers and good friend that tell each other everything. He told me that I should not have come up there and that there was nothing going on. Later, when he got home, he was angry with me and told me that I don't support who he is as a black man, and the secretary is easy to talk to. She listens to him. I was furious and humiliated. Meanwhile, he's hanging out after work. I am running around with our boys, making sure there at all of their practices and games. But I'm not supportive. I really need some good advice before I ring his neck. Please help, go ahead and ring his neck? Go ahead, because he is wrong. I mean, your husband's out of order. He's ignoring everything you're telling him and just doing whatever he wants to do with his so called best friend and very supportive secretary. I think your husband's disrespectful and he knows. Should you have gone up to his job? No, no, you shouldn't have gone up to his job because you know that could cause him to get fired or whatever, depending on what happened after that. But he didn't, So that's okay. If you guys can't work this stuff out at home, there is something really serious going on. A telling line in the letter, he said, a couple of them I don't think that you don't support who he is as a black man. What does that have to do with anything? What does that have to do with anything? Right? But yeah, he tried her, didn't he try her? Yeah, he tried it. And and but this is a real telling line. The secretary is easy to talk to. She listens to him. Yeah, that was a very telling line. And you had every right to be furious and humiliated. He's not listening to you. She listens to him. But he's not listening to you at all. And where he wants your support? Where's his support? You're the one running around with the boys making sure they're at all of their practices and games. Isn't that something that usually the dad does or you guys do together? You both support your children. Meanwhile he's at the club, hanging out, doing his thing with his secretary. No, this is wrong, and your and your husband is wrong. He's not supporting you as a black woman, as a black wife, as a mother, as a lover, all of these things. Okay, he's wrong. He needs to get it together, and I'm all for you ringing his next Steve, Well, let's start with this. Ringing his neck ain't gonna do it. Damn good. All he gonna do is go over there and get his neck rubbed. Now, you already ain't listening to him, so he sayd she easy to talk to because she listens. Here you is ringing next. Now I got to go over him and get my neck rubbed out by the same hellel that's talking to me and listening, pushing me. You're just making it easy for the clean up woman to get your man's love. Oh no, that song was written for you. Now let me walk you through it. Steve, you wrong on this one. Whatever, it's a letter the people wrong for that. You and your husband have a great social life. We used to focus on keeping romance alive in our marriage. Well you ain't gonna do that no more. See you don't have to focus on keeping it alive no more. Oh his ear is his live here, dinner out, drinking, his social life. He's live. But your boys is active in sports. Who it's hard to find time to hang out together. Uh, it ain't affected my husband's social life. I told you that he still hang out out to work, and I got a big issue with who he's spending this time with. He going out with his secretary to have a quick dinner or just grab a drink. I don't know who you are. I can't call my wife and go baby, I ain't coming home. I'm going to grab some dinner a quick drink with this girl. Dog. Say that out loud, act like you're on the phone. Baby, it's me. Hey, how you doing? Hey, listen, I'm gonna go grab some dinner and we're gonna stop and ask some drinking. I'm gonna be a little day, all right, take it easy. And how does that sound crazy? So after they did it a couple of times, the first couple of times the two them went out, you went up to the school and had a talk with both of them. When we come back, what happened when you went up to the school to talk with both of them? Well, I tell you what happens. It ain't go like your thought, did it. We come back, we're gonna go over what God said to your faith, what you miss that didn't get said to your face. Let the chests say amen, Amen, all right? Coming out Part two of Steve's response to my husband's supportive secretary at twenty three after the hour, right after this, you're listening, all right, Steve, let's recap today's Strawberry letters subject my husband's supportive secretary. They used to have a social life, they worked on in everything. But they got these two boys. They had sports, so you relegated yourself to taking them to all the sporting events and have practices and everything. The husband his social life good because he going out after work then a drinks and you don't like who he's going out with because he told you. Now, I don't know who this stupid as a husband is you as you're married. But it ain't no where in the world. I'd have told you about no woman I was going out. Yeah, I would have been with some boys and anything. You'd have been driving no place. It wouldn't have been nobody in there but me, And I'd have told you me and my boys and were down at the sports club or the sports bars. Ain't the way in the world. I'd have told you that I go to have dinner with my secretary and we grab a drink. Now his secretary is married too, but her kids has grown them so she ain't got to rush home after work. Now they went out together a couple of times. Then you went up to the school to have a talk with both of them. Now, this is what she told the lady when she got up to the school. We are merely co workers and good friends that can tell each other anything. This woman had the audacity to tell you, the wife of this guy. We go out, we have lunch. We good friends that can tell each other anything. So I guess the part about him being married to his best friend. I guess that going out the bar, that's just going out the winter because he's got an new friends were good friends that could tell each other anything. And then he told me I should not have come up there, and that that was nothing. Go you shouldn't have came up hill talking to both of us, right, chew up hill fault. Ain't nothing going on now. Later, when he got home, he came in the dough mad with you, like he posted, because what I hadn't told you. Ladies, the best defense is a good office. You're gonna just come up to the school, yeah, or you come up to the school like you crazy? Not crazy? You look, you know what the people saying when you walked out of there. Yea rolling one role in the back of your head. You forgot to take out. Then you're all up at the school coat open. You don't toew it getting out the car, sitting up in here, lipstick all over all over your TeV. You don't got mad, tried to put it on in the car. Stoplights just up in here and bassing me. Shouldn't have came up in here. Ain't got nothing going on. Now I'm home now, and I got news for you. He told her that I don't support who he is as a black man. Now you're going to dinner with your second time having drinks and dinner. Really ain't got nothing to do with you being a black man. I appreciate that. Really white man, Filipino man, Chinese man, Latino man, any of us that go to dinner and without secondary it ain't got nothing to do with being a good, strong Latin. It has nothing to do but a wonderfully strong Asian. It ain't got nothing to do with that. So quit tripping. He lying. But then he said, and the secretary easy to talk to. She listens to me, she said. I was furious and humility. She didn't be really hurt, but it made him mad that he had the gall to say it, because he's crazy. I don't I don't know who you mad too, And it's stupid behind. He wanted them over educated dudes. He's so damn he's so damn smart. He dumb. I'm going out to dinner with this woman. We haven't dinner and drinks. Then you come up down talk about I talked to about what she said. We talked about it. They yeah, it could because she listens to me. Meanwhile, he's hanging out after work. I'm running around with our boys making shore. They at all they practices and games, but I'm not supported. I really need some good advice before I ring his neck. First of all, what you're gonna when you say ring his neck with that man? It ain't gonna stop nothing. You already mad. You came up to the school, they're still going out after here's your only hope, and this is what you're gonna do. And I know you didn't already thought it, because if you don't wrote the letter women think of everything. I know you're gonna call her huss already. Oh he get married? Do you think that I already notice what she gonna do? Dog, shedn't love this lot of sheepings in there and stuff about her damn sulf. Oh everybody didn't know about this dog. I don't see, I ain't seen. Nobody won't do that. Oh did your husband know y'all going out to eat and drinks? Of course he doesn't. He understands as part of my work, I'm telling you what husband is gonna agree to that? Nor husband is going to be good? And what wife is going to agree with this? Right? No, So that's why she gonna tell the lady's husband. Now the lady's husband gonna come up and sucker punch the priustle bam, which is her husband fighting at the school. Yeah, then he gonna end up doing some time because he wanted real educated dude. We're squas dude. He came in and punched me. I wasn't looking. I'm they're educating children at all of them. This barbaric man comes up and goes asked me, was I Howard? Of course I couldn't lie. I said yes, mister Howard, and plat owl right in the eye. So plat Owl heard my nephew say that, well, aunt, when he was talking to Steve Harvey on his radio show, and he just said plat owl right in my mind. It hurt like all heck, And I'm pressing charges. We gotta go email us instam not even if she looks like you've described her, all right, email us or Instagram. She looked like me, I'm no good here. Well, he don't want to Today's Strawberry letter at Steve Harvey f M. You're listening to stow. Here's a quick question for you, guys, um, do you have a memory or vivid recollection of the first time you met Santa Claus. First time I met Santa Far No, I've seen the pitching, but I don't remember the man. You ain't met the mall. But he never came to my house. I never saw him. My mom would always tell me he had been there, though, and they sat out and talked for a minute. Oh really always Yeah, Steve, you remember meeting Santa Claus when I first met him? Yeah, but I already knew who he was. What happened. I had been told by my brothers and stuff. You didn't go down his white man if it nothing house, So when I met him, it didn't have the joy that you think you would have as a child. But still I liked Santa Claus. I always liked him. I thought his intentions were well. Plus I'm a big Christmas guy, So and why is that? I just I just think it's the dopest holiday of all time. I loved Christmas from day one, the gifts, the giving. You know, see my father, mother face man. When they opened up this little worthless ass gift out of bottom, you know, I knew to give wasn't worth for damn. But the way they faked it and act like they kid it meant a lot to me, you know. And so I became a big giver of Christmas guilts. I've always kind of like that, you know, nice gifts and stuff. But then as I grew older, I realized what Christmas was really about. So it wasn't about the gift giving, no moment, and so it just became I just want to treat. That's all I want. It's a treat, you know, I know, I know the real meaning of Christmas. Right looking for to getting home so I can see my treat. Haven't seen it? No, haven't seen it from again, I'm not sure where this one came in from. I haven I have a disgusted chet with my wife, but this coming in from somewhere. It ain't didn't get it at wall? Are you mad? From a lot to treat. Yeah, where your treat called frontier names you name excuse what? Excuse me? The markets name market as in predecorated, Yeah, predecorated, Julian Yeah, yeah, wow, all right, all right, well, uh, Merry Christmas, everybody. You're listening to Steve Harvey Morning Show. According to new research, one in five Americans are planning on giving someone a take the hint gift this year. A new survey of two thousand Americans found that hint gifts are pretty common practice, with one in three response and saying, uh, they've given at least one in the past year or so or in the past period. And who is the person in our life most likely to give us one of these hint gifts? Well, research shows it's our own partner. So when Gil Tasha running God, he asks for running shows. But you know what they'll call it. I think it's cool though, because dudes, we different. You know, if that's what we want, then I think it's cool. Yeah. I mean, Tasha's real cool. You know, he's real laid back. He's not bagging some running shoes and you know, getting here and do your wifely duties. He'll say something like, yeah, well, I mean, yeah, with some heels on the shoes. Your shoes r you'll not like like in the hood when you see them shoes hanging over them over the telephone. Yeah, and I didn't want to Nessa did ask for the dinner jacket, but I didn't know that it was attached to dinner. Like Junior said off the air, he didn't at least he know he was going to eat. It was strategic. He put that jack. He starts smiling. He really did. He take a picture of him in every today decent he did? Okay, take it. He might get some running shoes too. Okay. The most popular most popular hint gift Americans gift is deodorant, what or you do? Cologne? Yeah, self help book? I got your yeah, yes, more than take a hand. The most popular most popular gift is self help books. They scored real high. Also on the list were cookbooks. No, I did not don't get one issue, exercise equipment, Carla, exercise equipment, I know, razors, toothpages, cleaning supplies, and even breath mints. Yeah, well I just bought. I just bought my wife the pelotike. Okay, so she she asked for the bike though she wasn't offended by you getting it? Right? Do you save that for Christmas? Christmas? Oh? This is your stand? He can't get off. But she asked save the Peloton bike for Christmas? Okay, well never mind. Yeah, different incomes, different bracket is different. All right. So Stephen and Junior and Timmy, if you guys had to give someone to take a hint gift, who would it be and what would it be against my sister getting every job application pamphlet I can find since she can't talk about they can't find in the world. I see that high every day. Well, I think we just saw the best take a hit gift. If I pick you up to go shopping and I put your ass in the back seat because my I got another fine chicken the front, that's about a bigger hit gift you can get. What about you? Now, my auntie?

If you under radio, come in from you need a Harry and Lawrence Filermo. You're listening to show. Well, it's time for Steve's favorite segment. It's called ass the CLLO. Now, Steve, you're ready? Are you ready? Stay ready? All right? Here we go. This one is from Tab at DC. Tab says, I'm forty nine and I'm dating a man that's seventy four. Okay, he looks like he's my age and he's very athletic and energetic. We have a big problem in the bedroom, and it's not what you think. His problem is that he doesn't know when to stop. The sex can go on for an hour and I have to work, run errands and do other stuff, so he needs to wrap it up sooner. He admitted that he's on medication and a side effect is increased sexual desire. Desire. He's called me a lightweight and said I'll have to find someone else that is up to the challenge. I hate it when he says stuff like that. Do you think he's just joking. Well, let's go for that. First of all. First of all, the seventy four and last too long in medication, he's lost feeling in certain areas, so the lasting longest, don't worry. He'd have lost a lot of feel he knew, so don't worry about that. That all that hours and all that. Yeah, you know, you know you need to pick up pay you a lightweight. I need to get somebody else. And the other thing you said was you forty nine and he's seventy four, and he looked your age. Not hold up, You're not going forward. He's athletic and energetic. She says, he's seventy four, and he looked your age. Ah, he's seventy four, and you look his age. I didn't think about that. Well, I looked at all of it when you asked me something. We're in here problems because he might not be all that athletic and energetic. Just your ass is older than forty nine physically, and maybe that's what the problem is. Maybe you thinking he more thing he really is because you ain't what you're saying you are. Let the church say, man, let me sometimes the answer is in your own damn question. I believe her. Maybe she ain't athletic. She ought to get athletics, she would be more like forty nine, most forty yin your women still got it. So she ain't well. Well, he sat in the forward. He got medication that increases his that's viagral. That's what that is. You know what it increases? What else? What it taking? Once again, if you have something else, sir, please right in this show. This became another second man. Yesterday, some dude took a shot, Yeah a strawberry letter, Yeah, a shot, and he wasn't going through that pain, no mold, Okay, all right, coming up into her last break of the day. It's last, I mean the absolute last break. It is damn day. That's right. And some closing remarks we will have from the one and only Steve Harvey at forty nine minute closing right after this. So I like that you're listening to. All right, here we are our last break of the day. It's been a good day. It's been Yeah, it's been a really good day. We got through it has some fun um and yeah up day. That used to be Steve's favorite commercial right there, that camel. All right, Steve, it's time for you to take us home with some of your closing remarks. As always in my closing remarks, I try to mix it up. Yesterday I talked about all comfort and convenience. How in order to build a life of convenience, convenience is built through inconvenience and to build a life or comfortable. To build a life of comfort, you have to be you have to get comfortable with being uncomfortable. And these are just true statements. Now here is something else I want to share with This is a little bit more direct. This is a little bit more This is everybody. People oftentimes ask me Steve, why do you talk about faith? This is just from my own experience. I have no other way to explain how I've gotten to where I am today. Had it not been for my faith, had it not been for my mother, who was a Sunday school teacher, who taught me about God, who taught me about prayer, taught me about faith, who taught me about having a relationship with God. Had it not been for that teaching right there, I wouldn't be here today. Now. There are people who will tell you that they have become successful without a relationship with God, and that can happen. Will it last? No, but it can happen. But the reason it won't last is because there will come a point in time in your life where you will have to know God. And if you don't know him, there will come a point in time in your life where you will wish you did. That will become a point in time in your life where you will call His name as you've never called it before. It happens to us all. It will happen before you leave here. You will acknowledge the fact that He exists now here. The upside, because God is not a god that he wants us to have this life for fear, and oh, my God, if I don't do this, I ain't gonna get this God. That God is really not that way. God comes to give you life and give you life more abundantly. Here's a reason I enjoy my faith. Here's the reason I enjoy having a relationship with God. See so many people I don't want to go to hell and I want. Oh, let's let's let's talk about the positivity of it. That's some good reasons for having faith. That's some great reasons for have relationship with God. This relationship with God I have. I feel safe. I don't feel things. I'm not afraid of what somebody can do to me. I'm not. I'm not I'm not afraid of a decision that a company can make about me. I'm not. I'm not fretful of what anybody may think about my income. I feel safe. I'm also I'm reassured that when something goes contrary to what I thought was gonna happen, guess what, I'm reassured because of my faith in my relationship with God, that that too go work out on my behalf. Also, I enjoyed this relationship because I have a constant guide. I constantly can ask God for guidance and he'll give it to me. My guide happens to be a king. But this king is also my best friend, this relationship that I have with him, he is my best friend and my king. Man, don't you know it's kind of cool having a king is your best friend? Who can make decisions? Man, who can help you out, who've got answers, who got resources, who has a way out, who can be with you through everything you're going through and never leave you. My king is my best friend. I enjoyed because of my faith in my relationship. I enjoyed having his companionship, a place that I can go to get real answers, somebody I can talk to about anything I'm talking about. Man, I hadn't been in some trouble, I haven't been sick, I haven't been counted out. But because he's my companion, I can talk to him about anything. And you know what I really love about my relationship and my faith. He got answers. He got real answers. Man, he got real I don't care what your situation is, he got answers. There's scriptures written about everything you're going through. There's actually prayers about everything you're going through. You ain't running across nothing new. I don't care nothing about technology and none of that. You're running into nothing new. The stuff they're saying about you on the internet. They talked about Jesus. He didn't do nobody. He gives me inspiration. There's so many stories that I can read about, so many incidents in scriptures that I can get inspired. Man, that God don't really ever leave you. I'm so reassured that he's with me every step of the way, that he didn't bring me this far to leave me. That all things work for the good to those who love him. It's so many things that I have inspired me. Man, when I get up, when i'm through praying, that I just feel better. That's why I like my faith in my relationship with God. You should just look into it. Man, You ain't got to be perfect to have one. You just want to have to talk to him. Just start talking to him. That's all you got to do, all right.
