DONT u ever QUIT
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 said. "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 the third year, there was still nothing from the
bamboo seed. But
I would not quit. In the fourth year, 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 said to 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.
Never regret a day in your life. Good days give you
happiness. Bad
days give you experiences. Both are essential to life.
Keep going... Happiness keeps you Sweet, Trials keep you
Strong,
Sorrows keep you Human, Failures keep you humble, Success
keeps You
Glowing, but
Only God keeps You Going !!!!!
