One day I decided to quit... ! 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 said."Can you give me one good reason not to quit?" His answer surprised me..."Look around", GOD 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 careof them. I gave them light. I gave them water. The fern quickly grewfrom the earth. Its brilliant green covered the floor. Yet nothingcame from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo. In thesecond year the Fern grew more vibrant and plentiful. And again, nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on thebamboo".GOD said."In year three there was still nothing from the bamboo seed. But Iwould not quit." GOD said."Then in the fifth year a tiny sprout emerged from the earth. Compared to the fenr it was seemingly small and insignificant..
But just 6 months later the bamboo rose to over 100 feet tall. It has spent thefive years growing roots. Those roots made it strong and gave it whatit needed to survive. I would not give any of my creations a challenge it could not handle" GOD said to me."Did you know, 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" GOD said.
"The bamboo has 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?" GOD asked in return."As high as it can?"I questioned"Yes"
GOD said, "Give me glory by rising as high as you can."I left the forest. GOD will never give up on you.....
