The Cross
A
young man was at the end of his road,
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.
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
