The Cross
A young man
was at the end of his rope, seeing no way out, dropped to
his knees in prayer.
"Lord,
I can't go on," he said. "I have too heavy of a cross to
bear."
The Lord
replied, "My son, if you can't bear its weight,
just place your cross inside this room. Then, open that
other door and pick out any cross you wish."
The man was filled with relief said, "Thank you,
Lord," and he did as he was told.
Upon
entering the other door, he saw many crosses, some so
large the tops were not visible. Then, he spotted a
tiny cross leaning against a far wall.
"I'd
like that one, Lord," he whispered.
And the
Lord replied, " My son, that is the cross you just brought
in."
When
life's problems seem overwhelming, it helps to look around and see
what other people are coping with. You may consider yourself
far more fortunate than you imagined.
YOUR CROSS
Whatever
your cross, whatever your pain, There will always be sunshine
after the rain. Perhaps you may stumble, perhaps even fall, But
God's always there to help you through it all.
