Im sharing a very nice story for everyone who feels like quiting..

> 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", 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 said to 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 bring back this story. I hope these words can help you see that God will never give up on you.

~ bottomline: Think of Jesus. Look at the cross. Know Him deeply. Because Jesus is the Only sum0ne who loves and cares us so much.

Should I quit?

When I'm down I try to recite this verse:

Isaiah 40:31 (New International Version)

31 but those who hope in the LORD
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.

It's true.

Many times I feel like quitting in my walk with God, but I'm reminded that He'd never quit on me.
I experienced that when I once backslided. He just pulled me back. He won't let go.

But of course don't make it an excuse for you to just walk away from Him easily...

Don't give up. Even when we don't understand why things are the way they are right now.
Just trust Him. Yes, times of nothingness may come, but sometimes it's meant to be so that we'd come close to Him.

A professor of mine shared this quote with me on my graduation.
So I will share it with you guys;

Nothing in the world can take the place of perseverance.

Talent will not;
Nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent.

Genius will not;
Unrewarded genius is almost legendary;

Education will not;
The world is full of educated derelicts.

Perseverance and Determination alone are omnipotent.

- President Calvin Coolidge

We should never quit! Although we fall down, we must continue to stand up and be strong to stronger. It may be painful at times but we will survive.

One of my favorite poems:

"DON'T QUIT" Author Unknown

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will.
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,
When the funds are low, and the debts are high, And you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit, Rest if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is queer with the twists and turns,
AS everyone of us sometimes learns, And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out: Don't give up through the pace seems slow. Y
ou may succeed with another blow.

Success is failure turned inside out,
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit,
It's when things seem worse, that you must not quit.

Don'T Quit But...

Let it go ...by T. D. Jakes

There are people who can walk away from you.
And hear me when I tell you this!
When people can walk away from you: let them walk.

I don't want you to try to talk another person into staying with you,
loving you, calling you, caring about you, coming to see you,
staying attached to you.
I mean hang up the phone.

When people can walk away from you let them walk.
Your destiny is never tied to anybody that left.

People leave you because they are not joined to you.
And if they are not joined to you,
you can't make them stay.
Let them go.

And it doesn't mean that they are a bad person,
it just means that their part in the story is over.
And you've got to know when people's
part in your story is over so that you
don't keep trying to raise the dead.

You've got to know when it's dead.
You've got to know when it's over.
Let me tell you something.
I've got the gift of good-bye.
It's the tenth spiritual gift,
I believe in good-bye.

It's not that I'm hateful, it's that I'm faithful,
and I know whatever God means for me to have
He'll give it to me.
And if it takes too much sweat I don't need it.
Stop begging people to stay.
Let them go!!

If you are holding on to something
that doesn't belong to you and was never intended for your life,
then you need to ..LET IT GO!!!

If you are holding on to past hurts and pains ...
LET IT GO!!!

If someone can't treat you right, love you back, and see your worth...
LET IT GO!!!

If someone has angered you ...
LET IT GO!!!

If you are holding on to some thoughts of evil and revenge ..
LET IT GO!!!

If you are involved in a wrong relationship or addiction ...
LET IT GO!!!

If you are holding on to a job that no longer meets your needs or
talents ..
LET IT GO!!!

If you have a bad attitude...
LET IT GO!!!

If you keep judging others to make yourself feel better...
LET IT GO!!!

If you're stuck in the past and God is trying to take you to a new
level in Him...
LET IT GO!!!

If you are struggling with the healing of a broken relationship....
LET IT GO!!!

If you keep trying to help someone who won't even try to help
themselves..
LET IT GO!!!

If you're feeling depressed and stressed ....
LET IT GO!!!

If there is a particular situation that you are so used to handling
yourself and God is saying "take your hands off of it," then you need to...
LET IT GO!!!

Let the past be the past.
Forget the former things.
GOD is doing a new thing for you !!!
LET IT GO!!!

Get Right or Get Left .. think about it, and then
LET IT GO!!!

"The Battle is the Lord's!"
