For children, - Perseverance in Islam 11

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, God 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.
God said, in the third year 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.
God said, and 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.
God said to me, did you know, my creation, 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. God 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.
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. God will never give
up on you!
Moral:In life never lose hope and never give up or quit in life and
Success will come to you later in life.
