[0:00] Speaker 1: Come on. Do your thing, Big Daddy. Uh-huh. I sure will.
[0:05] Speaker 1: Good morning, everybody. Y'all listening to The Voice. Come on,
[0:09] Speaker 1: dig me now. One and only Steve Harvey. Got a
[0:12] Speaker 1: radio show. Got a good one for you today. Tommy
[0:16] Speaker 1: texted me and hit me with a thought this morning
[0:20] Speaker 1: that caused me to thinking a little bit deeper about it.
[0:24] Speaker 1: And the text that Tommy sent me this morning said
[0:26] Speaker 1: that a tree yields fruit seasonally. But even when it's
[0:30] Speaker 1: not yielding, it's still a fruit tree. Don't get upset
[0:34] Speaker 1: at not producing. Your season is coming if you stay planted. Okay,
[0:39] Speaker 1: one more time. A fruit tree yields seasonally. But even
[0:44] Speaker 1: when it's not yielding, it's still a fruit tree. Don't
[0:47] Speaker 1: get upset at not producing because your season is coming
[0:50] Speaker 1: if you stay planted. Okay, now that meant something to
[0:54] Speaker 1: me this morning. And it caused me to start to
[0:58] Speaker 1: thinking it through a little bit deeper in terms of
[1:01] Speaker 1: what has happened in my life. Because here's the deal.
[1:06] Speaker 1: The thing that I just learned recently was about seasons
[1:13] Speaker 1: in your life. Seasons. I was familiar with it all
[1:17] Speaker 1: my life. My mother taught it to me. I've experienced it,
[1:20] Speaker 1: but I didn't really get it until of late. The
[1:23] Speaker 1: thing about the seasons in your life is when we
[1:26] Speaker 1: start thinking about when you hear people in church or
[1:28] Speaker 1: you hear people say, it's your season is coming. Boy,
[1:32] Speaker 1: you in your season. You know what was messing me
[1:34] Speaker 1: up a little bit and it might be messing you up.
[1:37] Speaker 1: I thought of seasons just like I did the seasons, winter, spring,
[1:42] Speaker 1: summer and fall. But I had it on the timeline
[1:48] Speaker 1: just like seasons quarterly a year. So I looked at, boy,
[1:54] Speaker 1: it's your season. Your season is coming. I looked at
[1:57] Speaker 1: it as a short span of time. And then I
[2:00] Speaker 1: was going to go back to the barrenness of winter.
[2:04] Speaker 1: And then something might happen a little later on in
[2:06] Speaker 1: the spring and something popped through the ground and flowers
[2:09] Speaker 1: show up. And then they might survive the summer and
[2:12] Speaker 1: it's good and it's going good all summer long. And
[2:14] Speaker 1: I'm got it. I'm harvesting crops. Then the fall come
[2:17] Speaker 1: and start fading. Then winter, I go back to summer.
[2:20] Speaker 1: Suffering the barrenness of winter like a crop. But here's
[2:24] Speaker 1: what I learned. You cannot look at your season in
[2:29] Speaker 1: life and the seasons that we go through with the
[2:33] Speaker 1: same eye for seasons as you do with crops, because
[2:36] Speaker 1: God's timeline is totally different. See, a season to God
[2:41] Speaker 1: could be in a really extended period of time. It
[2:45] Speaker 1: could be the duration of your life. That's what a
[2:49] Speaker 1: season is in God's timeline. See, God is expansive, man.
[2:54] Speaker 1: He's way bigger than the regular thing. So what may
[2:57] Speaker 1: be a season to a farmer? A season for God
[3:01] Speaker 1: could be 300 years, 50 years, 60 years, 80 years.
[3:05] Speaker 1: You in there. So I had to learn that because
[3:10] Speaker 1: I was afraid that seasonally meant that this blessing would
[3:13] Speaker 1: be for a short period of time. Then I go back.
[3:15] Speaker 1: Then I come another burst and then I go back.
[3:18] Speaker 1: I'll fire a few more nice shots and I can
[3:20] Speaker 1: have a nice summer. And then I start withering away
[3:23] Speaker 1: and here come winter again. First things first. That's not
[3:26] Speaker 1: how it worked for me. And that's how I had
[3:29] Speaker 1: to learn. So now let's talk about it with that
[3:32] Speaker 1: in mind. See what the text Tommy sent me meant
[3:35] Speaker 1: a lot to me because see, everybody is a fruit tree.
[3:40] Speaker 1: We are all a fruit tree. But here's the key, though.
[3:45] Speaker 1: We are all different kinds of fruit trees. Oh, see,
[3:49] Speaker 1: that's the difference. And that's the other thing was tripping
[3:52] Speaker 1: me out. See, I was looking at the other trees
[3:57] Speaker 1: trying to figure out why I wasn't given and bearing
[4:00] Speaker 1: the same fruit that they were bearing. Why wasn't I
[4:04] Speaker 1: a billionaire? Why wasn't I a yacht owner? Why didn't
[4:10] Speaker 1: I come up with the next great idea? Why wasn't
[4:14] Speaker 1: I the next big producer? Why wasn't I the next
[4:18] Speaker 1: big major star? Why wasn't I the one that came
[4:22] Speaker 1: up with some earth shattering idea and invention that would
[4:25] Speaker 1: change the scope of the world and all this money
[4:28] Speaker 1: would flow me? Why was that? Because that ain't my fruit.
[4:31] Speaker 1: That's not my tree. See, everybody can't be Steve Jobs.
[4:36] Speaker 1: Everybody's not going to be the guy that comes up
[4:39] Speaker 1: with the next invention that changes the world. You ain't
[4:42] Speaker 1: the right brothers. You may not be the one to
[4:44] Speaker 1: think of flight. But what is your fruit, though? See,
[4:47] Speaker 1: your fruit is plenty. See, and what what the text
[4:51] Speaker 1: was saying is your fruit, you you you bear fruit seasonally.
[4:57] Speaker 1: That means it's coming. Sometimes you still sprouting. Well, when
[5:00] Speaker 1: you sprouting, you can't have fruit on you yet, but
[5:02] Speaker 1: you're tripping for you just sprouted. You just came up
[5:06] Speaker 1: through the dirt. You've been hustling and grinding. You just
[5:10] Speaker 1: popped up through the dirt. Now you're a young tree.
[5:12] Speaker 1: You're a bush. Even if you had fruit on it,
[5:15] Speaker 1: your bark and your limbs ain't strong enough to hold
[5:17] Speaker 1: the fruit. The size of the fruit would break your
[5:21] Speaker 1: limbs if you get it too early. Oh, come on, man.
[5:25] Speaker 1: Don't you understand this now? This is what this text
[5:28] Speaker 1: meant to me. And so while I wanted fruit, I
[5:32] Speaker 1: wasn't ready to hold the fruit. So you got to
[5:35] Speaker 1: strengthen yourself. You got to get focused. You got to
[5:38] Speaker 1: be who you're supposed to be. You got to try hard. God,
[5:41] Speaker 1: the fruit season is coming for you because everybody is
[5:44] Speaker 1: a fruit tree and everybody going to bear fruit. But
[5:47] Speaker 1: what you cannot do is think that, look, if you're
[5:51] Speaker 1: a lemon tree and your fruit that you bear is lemon,
[5:53] Speaker 1: this is analogy. Now I'm talking about whatever your gift is.
[5:57] Speaker 1: The fruit you bear is a lemon tree. But you
[5:59] Speaker 1: look over there and you're looking at the apple orchard
[6:01] Speaker 1: and you're going, man, but them apples is big and red.
[6:04] Speaker 1: More people eat apples than eat lemons. You sell more
[6:07] Speaker 1: apples than you do lemons. Oh, that's true. So now
[6:10] Speaker 1: guess what you do? Now you uproot yourself. You take
[6:14] Speaker 1: yourself up out of who you are and what you
[6:17] Speaker 1: were born to do. You remove yourself from your gift.
[6:20] Speaker 1: You take yourself all out of who you really are.
[6:24] Speaker 1: Going over there, trying to be an apple tree when
[6:27] Speaker 1: God made you the lemon tree. Now, guess what? Now
[6:31] Speaker 1: you're all about the soil. You ain't rooted no more.
[6:35] Speaker 1: Can't no nutrients come up through your roots to even
[6:37] Speaker 1: feed the lemons that he bore you to have. Now
[6:40] Speaker 1: you over there trying to be an apple. Well, ain't
[6:42] Speaker 1: no room in the apple orchard for the lemon tree.
[6:45] Speaker 1: Now you wonder why you can't get your roots down
[6:47] Speaker 1: in there, why they ain't accepting you. Now you're barren. Man,
[6:50] Speaker 1: old woe is me. Lord, you don't never give me
[6:52] Speaker 1: no fruit. It's because you keep moving. You keep taking
[6:57] Speaker 1: yourself out of who you are. You keep removing yourself
[7:01] Speaker 1: from the soil that you was planted in. You keep
[7:04] Speaker 1: taking yourself out your orchard. Stop trying to be an
[7:07] Speaker 1: apple if you was born to be a lemon. What's
[7:09] Speaker 1: wrong with lemons? I like lemonade. A lot of people
[7:12] Speaker 1: I know like lemonade. Lemonade, if you stay focused with it,
[7:15] Speaker 1: you might be the only one with the good lemons. Now,
[7:18] Speaker 1: everybody that need lemons got to come to you. Oh, man,
[7:21] Speaker 1: but if you keep uprooting yourself, moving, you'll never bear
[7:24] Speaker 1: the fruit that you was born to bear. Everybody is
[7:27] Speaker 1: a fruit tree, but you got to stay planted, man.
[7:31] Speaker 1: You got to stay nourished. You got to talk to
[7:33] Speaker 1: your creator who made you and find out what fruit
[7:36] Speaker 1: you're supposed to bear. And then in your season, it's coming. Man,
[7:40] Speaker 1: your season is coming, but you got to stay planted.
[7:44] Speaker 1: And you got to realize through contacting your creator what
[7:48] Speaker 1: type of fruit tree you are. And quit looking at
[7:51] Speaker 1: the other orchards trying to get over there and they
[7:53] Speaker 1: got more fruit than you. That's not who you are.
[7:56] Speaker 1: Stop trying to be something that you are not. You're
