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.”

“My son, if you can’t bear it’s weight,
just place your cross inside this room.
Then open another door and pick any
cross you wish.”
The man was filled with relief.
“Thank you, Lord,”
he sighed, and did as he was told.
As he looked around the room he saw
many different 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’s the cross you brought in.
