 Patience Always Pays.....
One day a Man in his 30s got fed up and decided to
quit...." I quit my job, my relationship, my spirituality, In fact 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 one ... good reason
not to quit?" He said.
But God's answer surprised him... "Look
around", God said. "Do you see the fern and the bamboo?"
"Yes",The Man replied.
Then God continued..."When I planted the fern and
the bamboo seeds at 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. It's 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. In the third year, there was still nothing from the bamboo seed.
But I would not quit...!”
God continued... "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 six months later the bamboo rose to
over 100 feet tall. It had spent the five years growing roots but six months 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 would not quit on the bamboo. I will never quit on you. Don't compare
yourself to others."
"The bamboo had a different purpose than the
fern. Yet, they both make the forest beautiful. Your time will come and you
will rise high...! "God said.
"How high should I rise...?" The Man asked.
"How high will the bamboo rise?" God asked
in return. "As high as it can...?” The Man replied.
"Yes!" God said, "Give me glory by
rising as high as you can!
