A Good Lesson for those who don’t Hope and Never Quit in 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, 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 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 bring back this story. I hope these words can help you see that
God will never give up on you.
He will never give up on you!
LESSON FROM THE STORY: In life never lose hope and never give up or quit in life and
Success will come to you later in life.
