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", 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 the third year, there was still nothing from the bamboo
seed. But I would not quit.
In the fourth year, 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 said to 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 bring back this story.
I hope these words can help
you see that God will never give up on you, Happy Sunday and Do have a lovly week ahead

Nice words of encouragement for those who dun wanno pay their tithes no more I say!
The lord loves a cheerful giver. Don't give up.
