Amazed once again

I was just doing QT just now. It was really powerful!
Then after that, I went to check my email and I saw this.
Every single word just spoke to me! Especially the part about rising up! (:
God just reassured me that I am growing my roots, growing stronger everytime even though I don't really see anything yet! :D
God is so powerful lah! It's definitely not coincidential, but planned by God.
Woohoo~ God is cool! :D

Anyway, here's the email! heh!
HERE IT GOES:

KEEP GOING , ENCOURAGE THE ONE YOU CARE FOR.. Don't Give Up.....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 and likewise 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 have been struggling a lot in schoolwork and trying hard to get my life in order. I struggle and I struggle. Thoughts of giving up came to my mind, but I never wanted to give up because I know I don't want to. I want to live my best for God. I really want to. But sometimes it's just seem so hard. But today, I know God is telling something, He is bigger than out problems. None of our problems can shake Him off His throne. God knows how to bring us through all our tough times. All we need to do is to do what we can, and trust in Him! (:

For me, it seems quite impossible to complete what I have to do, but I trust in God that He will give me the strength to do it! Yes AMEN! Alright, need to end off here and go back to what I need to do!

WORK HARD TO GLORIFY GOD'S NAME! YAY :D

GOD BLESS! (:
