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 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 and 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.
LIFE IS GOOD!
