This parable you might not know

Greetings, Dear Friend! You may have heard the story of the Chinese Bamboo Tree? Like any plant, growth of the Chinese Bamboo Tree requires nurturing – water, fertile soil, and of course sunshine. In its first year, we see no visible signs of activity. In the second year, again, no growth above the soil. The third, the fourth, still nothing!!! We begin to wonder if our efforts will ever be rewarded. And finally in the fifth year – behold, a miracle! We experience growth. And what growth it is! The Chinese Bamboo Tree grows 80 feet in just 6 weeks! How did this happen? Had the tree not developed a strong unseen foundation it could not have sustained its life as it grew. The same principle is true for people. People, who patiently toil towards worthwhile dreams and goals, overcoming problems and challenges, grow the strong internal foundation to handle success, while others usually are unable to sustain what they unearned. The Chinese Bamboo Tree teaches us success lessons on patience, faith, perseverance, growth and development and most surprising of all - your potential! It was John Lennon who wrote in the 1980’s song: “Life is what happens to you while you are busy making other plans.” So, if you're thinking about starting one day a serious Scripture study ("when I have more time...") - stop. Your life is happening now, so start what you really want to do and don't waste another day for something that you might never begin.
