Your Burden

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 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."

Every single person carries burdens through this life.
Every one of us faces daily challenges, yes some bigger than others.
But you get to decide how heavy your burden is.
If you walk around thinking poor me, then expect a heavy load.
But if you take what ever challenge you face in stride, well then expect a weight-less burden.

All obstacles can be one of two things; a road block or a stepping stone.
The cool part, YOU get to decide which one it will be!

LIVE this LIFE
