Story : Never 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 u give me one good reason why i should not quit?''

His answer surprised me....




" Look around'' He said... " Do u see the fern and the bamboo?''
''yes'', i replied..

God said , '' 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 seeds. Yet 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. 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, but i would not quit. 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 need to survive..

I would not give any of my creations a challenge it could not handle'' ..He said to me. ''Did u 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 u. 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 the glory by rising as high as u can..

I left the forest and bring back this story..I hope these words can help u see that God will never give up on u. Never regret a day in your life''
