He will never give up on you!

An encouraging story for u.........



Dear All,



Do you know that God would not give anyone of us a challenge that we could not handle.

And even as we are still struggling, we have grown in our roots.



Don’t compare yourself to others, for God has a different purpose for each of us,

yet we made to fit beautifully in his plans.


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
< TT>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 said to me.

"Did you know, my child, that all this time you have been
struggling, you have actually been gro wing 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.

He will never give up on you!
