MAGICAL GROWTH

Moso is a bamboo plant that grows in China and elsewhere
in Asia. After the moso is planted, no visible growth
occurs for five years, even under ideal conditions. If you
do not know the characteristic of the moso, you’d think
it’s dead.

But in five years time, as if by magic, it suddenly
begins growing at the rate of nearly two-and-a-halffeet
per day, reaching a full height of 95 feet within six
weeks.

But it’s not magic. The moso’s rapid growth is due
to a network of miles and miles of roots that develops
during its first five years.

I look at my life and see that I’m like the moso
bamboo plant. Our community is like the moso bamboo
plant, too. For the past 29 years, God has been making
our roots grow. Today, we see our community growing
beyond our borders. It seems magical

Are you wondering why you’ve not been
growing? Don’t fear. God is building your roots.
When it seems as though nothing is happening,
something deep within you is happening. God is
making you ready to finally grow.

And a day will come when the magic will come
and the blessings will abound.
Believe in it.

Have a positive mindset.
