God's TRUTH about life!



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", 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 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." GOD said.
"In the third year, 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." GOD 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." 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 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?" 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 and brought back this story. I hope
these words can help you see that GOD will never give
up on you.

GOD will never give up on you. "Life is not a problem to be solved but a gift to be enjoyed!"
