One day I decided to quit...
I quit my job, my relationship, my
spirituality. .. I wanted to quit my life.
I went to the woods to have one last talk
with God.
"God", I asked, "Can you give me one good
reason not
to quit?"
His answer surprised me...
"Look around", He said. "Do you see the fern
and the
bamboo?"
"Yes", I replied.
"When I planted the fern and the bamboo
seeds, I took
very good care of them.
I gave them light.
I gave them water.
The fern quickly grew from the earth.
Its brilliant green covered the floor.
Yet nothing came from the bamboo seed. But
I did not
quit on the bamboo.
In the second year the Fern grew more
vibrant and
plentiful.
And again, nothing came from the bamboo
seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo. He
said.
"In year three there was still nothing from
the bamboo
seed.
But I would not quit.
In year four, again, there was nothing from
the bamboo
seed. I would not quit." He said.
"Then in the fifth year a tiny sprout emerged
from the
earth. Compared to the fern it was seemingly
small and
insignificant. ..But just 6
months later the bamboo rose to over 100
feet tall.
It had spent the five years growing roots.
Those roots
made it strong and gave it what it needed to
survive.
I would not give any of my creations a
challenge it
could not handle."
He asked me. "Did you know, my child, that all
this
time you have been struggling, you have
actually been
growing roots".
"I would not quit on the bamboo.
I will never quit on you."
"Don't compare yourself to others."
He said.
"The bamboo had a different Purpose than
the fern.
Yet they both make the forest beautiful."
"Your time will come", God said to me.
"You will rise high"
"How high should I rise?"
I asked.
"How high will the bamboo rise?" He asked in
return.
"As high as it can?" I questioned.
"Yes." He said, "Give me glory by rising as
high as you
can."
I left the forest and brought back this story.
I hope these words can help you see that God
will never
give up on you..................and now.....
