3 God found it incredibly surprising at how the fern and bamboo rose to the challenge
"I had spent long five years in growing roots which 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 then asked the man.
“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.”

4 God explains how the fern and bamboo both have a different purpose apart from beautifying the earth
God then said to the man, “Your time will come” “You will rise high”
The man still in doubt asks God "How high should I rise?" to which God replied "How high will the bamboo rise?
The man now confused answered “As high as it can?" to which God exclaimed.
"YES" “Give Me glory by rising as high as you can.”

5 Never, Never, Never, Give up
The man then left the forest after having his conversation with God and then narrated this short story in his own words. He explained how you should never give up on life. Happiness encourages you while challenges strengthen you. Sorrows keep you human, and failures humble you. If you don’t quit, success keeps you pushing forward but only God keeps you going!
Remember God helps those who help themselves so don’t keep telling your problems to God instead praise him for making you what you are and giving you the opportunity to rise to challenges like the fern and bamboo so that you may rise high and face any challenge with courage.
