A parable that shows us the importance to persevere and not to renounce our dreams only by not to see immediate results.
A day I decided to give up. I renounced to my work, to my relation, to my spirituality. I wanted to renounce to my life. I went to the forest to have a last chat with God. "God", I told him. Would you be able to give me a good reason for not give up?" His answer surprised me." looks to your around", He said: "You see the fern and the bamboo?" "Yes", I responded. "When I sowed the seeds of the fern and the bamboo, I took care of them very well. I gave them light. I gave them water. The fern quickly grew. Its green brilliant covered the floor. But nothing grew of the seed of bamboo. Nevertheless I did not renounce to the bamboo. In the second year the fern grew more brilliant and abundant. And again, nothing grew of the seed of bamboo. But I did not renounce the bamboo." He said. "In the third year, even nothing sprouted of the seed of bamboo. But I did not renounce." He told me. "In the fourth year, again, nothing grew of the seed of bamboo. "I did not renounce" He said. "Then in the fifth year a small bud grew on the land. In comparison with the fern was apparently very small and insignificant. But only 6 months later the bamboo grew at more than 100 feet of height. It had passed five years throwing roots. Those roots did it strong and they gave it what needed to survive. "I would not give to any of my creations a challenge that could not bear" He told me. "¿You knew that all this time that you have been fighting, really have been throwing roots?" "I would not renounce to the bamboo. Never would I renounce you. You do not compare with other" told me. "The bamboo had a different purpose to that of the fern, nevertheless, both were necessary and they did of the forest a beautiful place". "Your time will come" God told me. "¡You will grow very high!" What so high I should grow?" I asked. What so high will grow the bamboo?" He asked me in answer. As high as be able?" I investigated. I expect that these words can help you to understand that God never will renounce you. Never have you repent of a day in your life. The good days give you happiness. The bad days give you experience. Both are essential for the life. Continues. The happiness maintains you Candy, The intents maintain you Hardly, The griefs maintain you Human, The falls maintain you Humble, The success maintains you Brilliant. But only God maintains you walking…. |
When a baby is on the verge of being born feels a great anguish. It is considered that is the greater stress moment that a person suffers during the life. The baby is found comfortable, sure. Grew in the womb of his mother. There he received the food and the force to live. But the moment arrives in which should abandon that sure place to go... who knows where. He feels anguish, fear... The labor arrives, the leaving, the detachment, strong moment, but that habitually conducts to affectionate arms, that expect him to give the best. The death is similar to the birth. Habitually invades a great anguish just as arrives, we feel fear because we do not know what will happen. But, if also it was a passage to another life, where they can expect us full arms of love... Would not change our attitude? By means of this brochure we want to encourage live, incorporating the reality of death. Because many times is wasted the life on account of the fear to the death, or by the imprudence of keep not in mind. As well it said Montaigne: "The one that teaches the men to die teaches at the same time to live". All we will face to the death, but if we are prepared for it, the life changes a lot. And in this aspect God is indispensable. He has answers to the questioning that the death presents, consolation for the pain that it implies, hope to confront it with serenity. God is the road to travel confident the distressing matter of the death. |
