The Cross

The CROSS


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 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 room, 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. 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

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 passing it on.

Funny, isn't it, when you go to forward this message, how many on your
buddy list will not receive it because you're not sure they believe in
anything?

Funny? No!

Sad, and thought-provoking...

May God give you the strength and courage to pass this along to
everyone on your email buddy list....

I JUST DID!
