Parable of the Cross

One person once decided that his fate was too difficult. And he turned to the Lord with the following request:

- Savior, my cross is too heavy and I cannot bear it. All the people I know have much lighter crosses. Could you replace my cross with a lighter one?

And God said:

- Okay, I invite you to my storage of crosses - choose the one that you like.

A man came to the storage room and began to pick out a cross for himself: he tried on all the crosses, and they all seemed too heavy to him. While trying out all the crosses, he noticed a cross at the very exit, which seemed lighter to him than the others, and said to the Lord:

- Let me take this one. And God said:

- So this is your own cross, which you left at the door to try on the others!
