THE CROSS
he 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.
Perhaps you may stumble, perhaps even fall,
But God's always there for you. 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.
James 5:16 Confess your faults one to
another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed.
The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous
man availeth much.
Romans 10:16 How beautiful are the feet of
them that preach the gospel of peace.
