God created the universe in 7 days. All beings are born with through the process of embryo growth, the previous life. And our lives, will also grow and develop through a lot of the learning process. So, be patient ....
One day in desperation, someone decided to quit his job, also quit his touch with each other and stop all of the activities of spirituality. So, he went into the woods to talk to God, for the last time. He said, "Lord, give me one good reason not to quit from all this."
God gave an unexpected answer, "Look around," He said. "Did you see the fern and the bamboo in this forest?"
"Yes," he replied.
Then God said, "When first I planted them, I plant seeds and care for them carefully. I gave them light, I gave them water, and ferns grow very fast. Green color is gorgeous, covered the ground, but nothing came from the bamboo seed, but I did not quit on the bamboo. "
"In the second year, ferns grow faster and much more. Still, nothing came from the bamboo seed, but I do not give in to it. "
"In the third year, still no bamboo that grow from seed, but I still do not give up. So is the fourth year. "
"Then, in the fifth year, a tiny sprout emerged from the soil. When compared to the fern it was seemingly small and insignificant. But six months later, this bamboo grows rapidly and reaches a height of more than 100 feet. It had spent five years growing roots. The roots that make him stronger, and gives what she needs to survive. I'm not going to give my creations a challenge it could not handle. "
"Do thou, O my creation of the most perfect? Indeed of all the time you've spent in struggling it, you're growing root-akarmu. I never quit on the bamboo, so too I will never surrender to you. "
God says again, advises, "Do not compare yourself with others. The bamboo had a different purpose than the fern, but they both make the forest beautiful. "
He nodded. Understand the purpose of God.
"Your time will come," God's promises to him. "You will rise high."
"How high should I rise?" he asked.
"How high will the bamboo grow?" God asked.
"Is the bamboo can grow as high as they can afford?" he asked.
"Yes," answered him. "Honor me with your growth, as high as you can achieve."
Then the man left the forest, with a new awareness that God will never give up on him. And certainly, God will never give up on anything, anyone, including against you.
Indeed, we need to do is be patient and continue to build the roots of our lives. For when we got to grow to reach the sky, we have really solid grip of the earth, so do not be uprooted even though buffeted by storms.
