The jet/microwave age has somewhat messed with our perception of reality. We push for instant reward and gratification for everything. We tend to perpetually be in the "now." Very few people cultivate the grace of consistency in the face of hard times, and this is where the Chinese bamboo comes in.
You see, there is this type of bamboo in Chinese. It needs to be watered practically every day, without fail. What you will notice as a first-time gardener is that the seed you plant will not sprout for years despite your best efforts. This person might give up, but not the seasoned gardener. In its fifth year, the bamboo will shoot out, and in just six weeks, it will grow to the height of eighty feet!
For some of us, our destinies are like this bamboo tree. We might be putting in huge effort with no result, but, as long as the vision is from God, do not give up on it. Be patient. Be consistent. The result will be overwhelming. If this resonates with you, please do not give up. Something great is waiting for you. Just keep pushing, it won't be long!
