The narrator decides to quit their job, relationship, and spirituality, wanting to end their life. They go to the woods to ask God for a reason not to quit. God tells a story about planting bamboo and fern seeds, taking care of both but nothing coming from the bamboo for 5 years. In the 6th year, the bamboo grew over 100 feet tall after spending years growing strong roots underground. God says He will never quit on the narrator, just as He did not quit on the bamboo, and that their time will come to rise as high as they can give Him glory. God encourages the narrator to never regret their life and keep going, as only God can keep them going.
