THIS MUST BE TRUE!!!

I try not to post anything i havent written myself...
But this sounded so nice to let go!!!!

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 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 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 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
