A little girl was given a cross to carry. She resented it. She knew that everyone had to carry a cross but she did not like her cross. She felt it could be a little more lovelier, a little more comfortable. Whenever she prayed she complained about her cross.
One day Jesus appeared to her and took her to Heaven. He took her to a room and when He opened the door, Daisy’s heart jumped for joy. Inside were plenty of crosses. Jesus asked her to choose whatever cross she wanted.
She stepped in and went round the room inspecting all the crosses. Her eyes fell on a sparkling cross studded with precious stones.
“That would be really nice to carry,” she thought and picked up the cross. Oh! It was too heavy for her. She became breathless when she carried it even for a short distance. So she replaced it and chose another one. It was cute and colourful. But when she kept it on her shoulder, the sharp edges cut her flesh. Another one was too big and another one too plain. Finally she chose one that was good enough, light to carry and with a neat finish.
“I’ll take this,” she told Jesus. Jesus smiled and said, “That’s the one I gave you in the first place.”
All of us have crosses to bear. It is an inconvenience or a problem or something we don’t like. That is part of Christian training.
Jesus carried His Cross. So we need to carry our crosses too. But always remember that the cross that God has given us to carry is best suited for us!
