A
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.
