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
Funny how you can send a thousand 'jokes' through e-mail and they
spread like wildfire, but when you start sending messages regarding
the Lord, people think twice about sharing.
FUNNY, ISN'T IT?
Are you laughing? Are you thinking?
Spread the Word and give thanks to the Lord for He is good! Funny
isn't it when you go to forward this message how many on your list
are not receiving it because you're not sure they believe in
anything?
Funny?.........Sad.
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 have to believe, or think, or say, or do anything.
