TIRED OF WAITING? HERE’S A LESSON FROM THE BAMBOO PLANT

Waiting is never easy. But don’t be discouraged. Here’s a short, helpful lesson from the bamboo plant. 

When you plant a bamboo seed, you wait a long time for something to grow. It seem that nothing is happening in the empty soil, NOTHING at all for four years.  

You may get frustrated; you may even lose hope that anything will ever sprout. Because four years is a really long time. 

And then…

Finally, in the fifth year, the bamboo plant shoots up a whopping 80 feet in one year! 

Why? Because before it grows tall, the plant grows deep.

Such incredible growth could not have been possible without the extensive root system created during those first formative years—a strong support to hold the plant growth that was coming.

Are you tired of waiting?

Do you feel like nothing is happening in your situation?

Don’t give up just because you don’t see movement in your own life.

God is at work, always at work, behind the scenes. He is growing in you patience. He is preparing you. He is preparing your situation. 

For just the right time. 

Keep the faith.

You never know when your day will come, and things begin to change. 🍃
