The cross
The 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.
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.
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.
