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 any cross you wish."
The man was filled with relief. "Thank you
Lord."
He sighed and 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.
The
Lord
replied, "My son, that is the cross you just
brought in."
