Don't Give up

i got a story from friend so just wanna share with u.
have a read if u like.
--------------------
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 asked, "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 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 asked 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 brought back this story.

I hope these words can help you see that God will never give up on you.
Never, Never, Never Give up.
For the Christian Prayer is not an option but an opportunity.
Don't tell the Lord how big the problem is,
tell the problem how Great the Lord is!


Heavens door open this morning, God asked me... My CHILD...
what can I do for you?" and I said "Daddy please protect and bless the
one reading this message.
God smiled and answered ... "request granted ............ .

Installing LOVE

Here is a funny story i got from my friend. enjoy it :)
----
Tech Support: Yes, ... how can I help you?
Customer: Well, after much consideration, I've decided to install
Love. Can you guide me though the process?
Tech Support: Yes. I can help you. Are you ready to proceed?
Customer: Well, I'm not very technical, but I think I'm ready. What do
I do first?
Tech Support: The first step is to open your Heart. Have you located
your Heart?

Customer: Yes, but there are several other programs running now. Is
it okay to install Love while they are running?
Tech Support: What programs are running ?


Customer: Let's see, I have Past Hurt, Low Self-Esteem, Grudge and
Resentment running right now.
Tech Support: No problem, Love will gradually erase Past Hurt from
your current operating system. It may remain in your permanent memory
but it will no longer disrupt other programs. Love will eventually
override Low Self-Esteem with a module of its own called High
Self-Esteem.
However, you have to completely turn off Grudge and
Resentment. Those programs prevent Love from being properly installed.
Can you turn those off?

Customer: I don't know how to turn them off. Can you tell me how?
Tech Support: With pleasure. Go to your start menu and invoke
Forgiveness. Do this as many times as necessary until Grudge and
Resentment
have been completely erased.

Customer: Okay, done! Love has started installing itself. Is that
normal?
Tech Support: Yes, but remember that you have only the
base program. You need to begin connecting to other Hearts in order to
get the upgrades.

Customer: Oops! I have an error message already. It says, 'Error -
Program not run on external components ' What should I do?
Tech Support: Don't worry. It means that the Love program is set up
to run on Internal Hearts, but has not yet been run on your Heart. In
non-technical terms, it simply means you have to Love yourself before
you can Love others.


Customer: So, what should I do?
Tech Support: Pull down Self-Acceptance; then click on
the following files: Forgive-Self; Realize Your Worth; and Acknowledge
your Limitations.

Customer: Okay, done.
Tech Support: Now, copy them to the 'My Heart'
directory. The system will overwrite any conflicting files and begin
patching faulty programming. Also, you need to delete Verbose
Self-Criticism from all
directories and empty your Recycle Bin to make sure it is completely
gone and
never comes back.

Customer: Got it. Hey! My heart is filling up with new
files. Smile is playing on my monitor and Peace and Contentment are
copying themselves all over My Heart. Is this normal?
Tech Support: Sometimes. For others it takes awhile,
but eventually
everything gets it at the proper time. So Love is
installed and running.
One more thing before we hang up. Love is Freeware. Be
sure to give it
and its various modules to everyone you meet. They
will in turn share
it with others and return some cool modules back to
you.
Customer: Thank you, God.
