Have faith in yourself.

ONE DAY I DICIDED 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 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. It’s brilliant
Green covered the floor.
Yet nothing from the bamboo seed.
But I didn’t 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 didn’t quit on the bamboo.

He said “in the third year, there was still nothing from the bamboo seed.
But I wouldn’t 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 six month later the bamboo rose to over 100 feet tall.

I had spent the five years growing roots. Those roots
Made it strong and give it what it needed to survive.
I wouldn’t 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 wouldn’t 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 the God will never give up on you……….

Never regret a day in your life.
Good days give you happiness.
Bad days give you experiences.
Both are essentials to life.
KEEP GOING….

HAPPINESS KEEPS YOU SWEET,
TRIALS KEEP YOUY STRONG,
SORROWS KEEP YOU HUMAN,
FAILURES KEEP YOU HUMBLE,
SUCCESS KEEPS YOU GOING.
BUT ONLY GOD KEEPS YOU GOING!
GOD IS TOO WISE TO BE MISTAKEN…
GOD IS TOO GOOD TO BE UNKIND...
SO WHEN YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND…
WHEN YOU DON’T SEE HIS PLAN….
WHEN YOU CAN’T TRACE HIS HAND…
HAVE FAITH AND TRUST HIS HEART

HAVE FAITH IN YOURSELF….
