A man once complained to God,
“This is not fair God. You’ve given me a cross too big to bear.
I have too many problems. Look at my life. Bad things just seem to happen to me.
I cannot bare my cross anymore.” God spoke, “Is there anything that I can do for you?”
The man complaining said, “Well God, I know that everyone has to bare their own cross, but you’ve given me one too big for me to bare.
I can only deal with so much.”
God replies, “My son, I will let you in the warehouse where the crosses are stored and if you find anything smaller than what you have, you can exchange your cross for it.”
The man excitedly jumps up and down. They both walk to a warehouse and the man goes inside.
In the warehouse, cross’ sizes were as big as the Empire State Building. The man looks everywhere.
Suddenly, he finds a cross that is the size of a dash of sand. He picks it up in his hand and says, “God, God, I found it. This is the cross I want to bare. There is nothing smaller than this in here.”
God replies, “My son, I can give you any other cross but that one.”
“Why?” asks the man in an upset tone. “You said I could have any cross in here.”
God replies, “My son the reason why I cannot give you that cross is because that is the same cross that you have been carrying all your life. ~Author Unknown
