I decided to quit..

Today 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 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 see.



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 6months 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 bring 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"
