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.
