YOUR 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. Perhaps you
may stumble, perhaps even fall, But God's always there.

Amen fearnot, Amen! I myself like the deluxe model with the extra padding,LOL. The cross is not to aid in edifying the flesh, it is for crucifying the flesh. If you are comfortable with the cross your carrying it's probably not yours. Keep in mind, Jesus said "pick up your cross and follow me" not pick out your cross.
