YOUR 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.
