Process is necessary so quit trippin’. “Oh Lord, why me?” You ain’t the only one going through something. Things are going to happen in your life… it won’t make sense until you are on the other side of it.
God is processing you. He ain’t through with you. I look back on my life and all that I’ve been through. I know that the God I serve has pulled me through some hard times and he will do the same for you.
“In 2005 I was at my unhappiest point in life. You saw me on TV making money but I was miserable. I had reached the Kings of Comedy but I was only happy while I was on stage. I was in pain you would not believe. I was in a dark place. All I could think about was how did I get here?
I got here because of God’s grace. My plight had taken over me and I was about done, but right when you think you’re about done, don’t he always show up?
Can you name one single thing God ain’t brought you through? If he ain’t brought you through it, he’s currently pulling you through it right now. I know because you are reading this right now.
You can’t put limitations on the God I serve! If you just get out of the way! He does miraculous things all the time. It’s a miracle that I am sitting here today! Don’t give up! Prayer changes things and people too!”
On Mondays, I’ve been mentoring young men one-on-one and in groups through my foundation theharveyfoundation.org. I wanted to hear about what they’ve been going through and mentor them so they can stay positive. Here’s the story of one young man who started at my camp as a boy and now he’s a successful young man!
Please join me for my Mentoring Monday sessions, and then I encourage you to become a mentor to someone that can use your help. Let’s all pay it forward and take care of the young folks.
God does the impossible! Quit TRIPPIN! Everything you’re going through is preparing you for what you asked God for. “To whom much is given, much is required.” But when you ain’t got nothing… that verse hits different. You have to live your life with expectations no matter what.
A lot of you have heard the scripture BUT has anyone ever broken it down to you? “Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen.”
Here’s what it means and nobody in my Momma’s church ever explained it to me like this.
Never wait on the right time, cause the right time ain’t never coming. The devil’s job is to rob you of your destiny. So there will always be an obstacle. So if you are waiting on the right time, you’ll never make your move. Move on your idea now, don’t wait. JUMP!
My foundation, The Steve & Marjorie Harvey Foundation is supporting Atlanta Partners for Education, HOSEA HELPS and other community organizations. Look for local charities and see how you can help today.
I thought God wasn’t listening, at the time… I just wasn’t asking for anything. I changed that, man, it changed my whole life.
“I’ve acted out my life on stages with 10,000 people watching, and we are alone and I’m singing this song for you.” Donny Hathaway wrote this song and as a little boy, I always imagined myself in front of 10,000 people. I’m one of the original Kings of Comedy and have told jokes in front of crowds bigger than that. I always had the dream but my family and friends did not. If I would’ve listened to them I wouldn’t be where I am now. Sometimes you just have to listen to yourself and follow your dreams.
“You’re never given a time table for when your dreams and visions and everything you’ve worked for is going to come to pass. Keep praying and working. As you get older you learn how to fertilize and nurture your dreams just like you would in nature.”
