One day a Man in his 30s got fed up and decided to quit I quit my job my relationship my spirituality Infact I want to quit my life He said. Then He went to the woods to have one last talk with God God! Can you give me just 1 good reason not to quit? He said But Gods answers surprised him.. Look around God said Do you see the fern & the bamboo? Yes The Man replied Then God continued.. When I planted the fern & the bamboo seeds @the same time 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 yr the Fern grew more vibrant and plentiful & again nothin came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo. In the third yr 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 & insignificant But just 6 months later the bamboo rose to over 100 feet tall It had spent the five years growing roots but 6months to Shoot to the Sky! Those roots made it strong and gave it what it needed not just to SURVIVE but to be SIGNIFICANT amidst its peers I would not give any of my creations a challenge it could not handle because I love them too well! God said to him. Did you know my child that all this time you have been struggling you have actually been growing roots I did not quit on the bamboo I will never quit on you Dont compare yourself to others The bamboo had a different purpose than the fern Yet they both make the forest beautiful Dearest One dont quit things may look rough it may seem hopeless but believe it God is working things out in your favour U wil soon RISE & occupy your pride of place on this planet IJN.
