The
Cross Room
Author Unknown
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."
