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 cried. "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 were so large that the tops were not even visible.
He spotted a tiny cross leaning against a wall.
"I will take that one, Lord," he said.
The Lord replied, "My Son, that is the one you just brought in."
When life's problems seem overwhelming, it helps to look around
and see what other people are dealing with.
You may consider yourself much better off than you imagined.
