| IF YOU THINK OF QUITTING, READ THIS! |
  |
Life is all about giving, giving !
> 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 asked, "Can you give me one good reason not to quit?"
> His answer surprised me...
> "Look around", He 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. He 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 seed. I
> would not quit." He 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."
> He asked me. "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." 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 glory by rising as high as you can."
> I left the forest and brought back this story.
> I hope these words can help you see that God will never give up on
> you.
> Never, Never, Never Give up.
> God's mighty hand is always open, God asked me... My CHILD...
> What can I do for you?" and I said "Father, please protect and bless
> the one reading this message.
> God smiled and answered ... "request granted............
> This message is now in your hands. What will YOU do with it?
>
>
> You never know when GOD is going to bless you!!
> Good things happen when you least expect them to |
