Long long ago, there was a man, one day. He decided to quit his life. He quit his job his relationship and his spirituality. So, he went to the woods to have one last talk with God. He asked God. Can you give me one good reason not to quit in life. He surprised by God’s answer. God said do you see the fern and the bamboo?
Yes, the man replied. God said. When I planted the fern and the bamboo seeds, I took very good care of them. I give them lights. I give them water the fern quickly grew from the surface.
Earth gets greener amazingly. Yet nothing came from the bamboo seed, but I did not quit on the bamboo. In the second year the fern grew more brilliant and reach again. Nothing came from the Bamboo. But I did not quit on the Bamboo. In the 3 year there was nothing came from the bamboo seed, but I would never quit. In the year for again.
“Never give up on something that you can’t go a day without thinking about.” ― Winston Churchill
There was nothing from the Bamboo seed, but I would not quit in the year five a tiny sprout come out from the Earth’s surface, if you compare it to the fern, it was apparently small and insignificant but after a few months the bamboo grew to over 100 feet tall.
It had spent 5 long years inside the soil for growing roots. Those roots made need it strong and gave it everything what it needed to grow and to survive.
God told him I would never give any of my creation a challenge. It could not handle God asked the man. Did you know my child 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.
“When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it.” ― Henry Ford
God said the man don’t compare to others. The bamboo had a different purpose than the fern. Yet they both make the forest beautiful. Your time will come. You will rise high.
The man asked. How high should I rise. God replied how high will bamboo rise? as high as the man asked.
God said yes, give me glory by rising as high as you can. Never quit in life. God will never give up on you.
Don’t give up before the miracle happens, God is always with you.
