"God," I asked. "Can you give me a good reason not to quit?" God's reply took me by surprise ...

"Look around," he said. See the fern and bamboo?
"Yes," I replied.

When we planted fennel and bamboo seeds, I took great care of them. I gave them light, I gave them the water. Feriga grew rapidly from the ground. Her brilliant greens covered the earth. However, there is nothing out of the bamboo seeds. But I did not abandon the bamboo.

In the second year, the fern grew even bigger and richer ... Again, the bamboo seed did not come out. But I did not abandon the bamboo, he said.

In the third year, there was nothing left out of the bamboo seeds. But I did not abandon the bamboo.

In the fourth year, there was nothing out of the bamboo seed. But I did not want to give up, he said.

"Then, in the fifth year, a young man came out of the ground. Compared to the fern, it was obviously small and insignificant ... But after only 6 months, the bamboo rose to 30 meters high.

In all these five years, bamboo has developed its roots. Its roots have grown. These roots made him strong and offered him the things he needed to survive. I would not give any of my creations a challenge I could not cope with. "

He asked me. "Did you know, my child, that all the time you fought, did you actually develop roots?" "I would not abandon the bamboo. I will never leave you. "

"Do not compare with others," he added. "Bamboo had a different purpose than the fern. However, both make up the most beautiful forest. "

"Your time is coming," God told me. "You will be uplifted."

"How high will I get up?" I asked.

"How high will bamboo rise?" He asked in turn.

"As high as he can?" I asked. "Yes," he said. "Honor me up as high as you can."

I left the forest and came back with this story. I hope these words can help you see that God will never abandon you and never give up on you.

Never, ever, never give up life.

Do not tell God how big the problem is, tell the problem how great God is.
