Speaker 1 (00:00):
Come on, I sure will. Good morning everybody you're listening
to the voice, come on, dig me now, one and
only Steve Harvey got a radio show, got a good
one for you today. Tommy text me and hit me
with a thought this morning that caused me to thinking
(00:22):
a little bit deeper about it. And the text of
Tommy sent me this morning said that a tree yields
fruit seasonally, but even when it's not yielding, it's still
a fruit tree. Don't get upset at not producing. Your
season is coming if you stay planted. Okay, one more time.
A fruit tree yields seasonally, but even when it's not yielding,
(00:45):
it's still a fruit tree. Don't get upset and not producing,
because your season is coming if you stay planted. Okay. Now,
that meant something to me this morning, and it caused
me to start to thinking it through a little bit
deeper in terms of what has happened in my life.
Because here's the deal. The thing that I just learned
(01:09):
recently was about seasons in your life. Seasons. I was
familiar with it all my life. My mother taught it
to me. I've experienced it, but I didn't really get
it until of late. The thing about the seasons in
your life. Is when we start thinking about when you
hear people in Churchill, you hear people say it's your
(01:30):
season is coming. Boy, you in your season? You know
what was messing me up a little bit, and it
might be messing you up. I thought of seasons just
like I did the seasons winter, spring, summer, and fall.
But I had it on the timeline just like seasons
quarterly a year. So I looked at boy, is your season,
(01:55):
Your season is coming. I looked at it as a
short span of time, and then I was gonna go
back to the barrenness of winter, and then something might
happen a little later on in the spring and something
pop through the ground and flowers show up, and then
they might survive. The summer is good, and it's going
good all summer long, and I'm guiding them harvesting crops.
(02:16):
Then the fall come and start fading in winter, I
go back to suffering the barrenness of winter like a crop.
But here's what I learned. You cannot look at your
season in life and the seasons that we go through
with the same eye for seasons as you do with crops.
Because God's timeline is totally different. See, a season to
(02:41):
God could be a really extended period of time. It
could be the duration of your life. That's what a
season is in God's timeline. See God is expansive man,
He's way bigger than the regular thing. So what may
be a season two a farmer. A season for God
(03:02):
could be three hundred years, fifty years, sixty years, eighty years,
you in now. So I had to learn that because
I was afraid that seasonally meant that this blessing would
be for a short period of time. Then I go back.
Then I here come another burst, and then I go back.
I fired a few more night shots, and now I
have a nice summer, and then I started withing away
(03:24):
and here come winning again. The first things first, that's
not how it worked for me, and that's how I
had to learn. So now let's talk about it with
that in mind. See what the text time is sent
me meant a lot to me, because see, everybody is
a fruit tree. We are all a fruit tree. But
(03:44):
here's the key, though, we are all different kinds of
fruit trees. Oh see that's the difference. And that's the
other thing was tripping me off. See I was looking
at the other trees, trying to figure out why I
wasn't given and bearing the same fruit that they were burying.
Why wasn't I a billionaire? Why wasn't I a yacht owner?
(04:09):
Why didn't I come up with the next great idea?
Why wasn't I the next big producer? Why wasn't I
the next big major star. Why wasn't I the one
that came up with some earth shattering idea and invention
that would change the scope of the world and all
this money would flow me? Why wasn't I Because that
(04:30):
ain't my fruit, that that's not my tree. See, everybody
can't be Steve Jobs. Everybody's not gonna be the guy
that comes up with the next invention that changes the world.
You ain't the right, brothers. You may not be the
one to think of flight? For what is your fruit? Though?
See your fruit is plenty, see and and and and
(04:51):
what the what the text was saying is your fruit?
You you bear fruits seasonally. That means it's coming. Sometimes
you still sprout. Well, when you sprouting, you can't have
fruit on you yet. What you're tripping for? You just sprouted,
You just came up through the dirt. You've been hustling
and grinded. You just popped up through the dirt. Now
(05:12):
you're a young tree, you a bush. Even if you
have fruit on it, your bark and your limbs ain't
strong enough to hold the fruit. The size of the
fruit would break your limbs if you get it too early. Paul,
Come on, man, don't you understand this? Now? This is
what this text meant to me. And so while I
wanted fruit, I wasn't ready to hold the fruit. So
(05:35):
you gotta strengthen yourself. You gotta get focused. You gotta
be who you're supposed to be. You gotta try hard. God,
the fruit season is coming for you, because everybody is
a fruit tree, and everybody gonna bath fruit. But what
you cannot do is think that. Look, if you're a
lemon tree and your fruit that you bear is lemit,
this is analogy. Now I'm talking about whatever your gift is.
(05:57):
The fruit you bear is a lemon tree. But you
look over it, man, You looking at the apple archid,
and you going man, But them apples is big and red.
More people eat apples than eat lemons. You sell more
apples than you do lemons. Oh that's true. So now
guess what you do. Now, you uproot yourself. You take
yourself up out of who you are and what you
were born to do. You remove yourself from your gift,
(06:21):
You take yourself all out of who you really are,
going over there trying to be an apple tree. When
God made you the lemon tree. Now guess what. Now
you're all about the soil. You ain't rooted no more,
can't no nutrients come up through your roots to even
feed the limons that He bore you to have. Now
you're over there trying to be an apple. Well, ain't
(06:42):
no room in the apple archard for the lemon tree.
Now you're wondering why you can't get your roots down
in there, why they ain't accepting you? Now you're barn man?
Who woo is me? Lord? You don't never give me
no fruit? It's because you keep moving, You keep taking
yourself out of who you are, keep removing yourself from
the soil that you was planted in. You keep taking
(07:05):
yourself out your orchard. Stop trying to be an apple.
If you was born to be a lemon, what's wrong
with lemons? I like lemonade. A lot of people I
know like lemonade. Lemonade If you stay focused with it,
you might be the only one with the good limons. Now,
everybody that need limits gotta come to you, oh man.
But if you keep uprooting yourself moving, you'll never better
fruit that you was born to bear. Everybody is a
(07:27):
fruit tree. But you got to stay planted, man, You
gotta stay nourished. You gotta talk to your creator who
made you, and find out what fruit you supposed to bear,
and then in your season. It's coming, man, your season
is coming. But you got to stay planted, and you
got to realize through contacting your creator what type of
(07:49):
fruit tree you are. And quit looking at the other
orchid trying to get over there, and they got more
fruit than you. That's not who you are. Stop trying
to be something that you are not. Listening to the
