Subject: Your Cross
A young man was at the end of his rope, seeing
no way out, dropped to his knees in prayer. "Lord, I can't go on,"
he said. "I have too heavy of 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 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 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 sharing. 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...and thought-provoking. May God give you the strength
and
courage to send this on.
