End of the Rope
A young man was at the end of his rope.
Seeing no way out, he dropped
tohis 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
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
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 ready
to answer your call.He knows every heartache,
sees every tear, a word from His lips
can
calm
Your sorrows may linger throughout the night,
but
suddenly vanish at
The Savior is waiting somewhere above,
to
give you His grace and
send
Whatever your cross,
whatever your pain,
God
always sends rainbows
after
