Your Cross
A young man was at
the end of his rope, seeing no way out, he dropped to his knees in prayer.
"Lord, I can't go on," he said. "I have too heavy 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 and said, "Thank you Lord," and he did as he was
told.
Upon entering the other room, 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. 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.
| 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 |
