YOUR CROSS

The 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. "Thank you, Lord," he sighed, 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.
