I heard a story about a man touring a mental institution. The tour guide told the man that there were five floors there and the further up you went the worse off the patients were.
On the first floor the patients were only mildly ill, but by the time you got to the fifth floor they wee severely ill. On the first floor was a man staring out into space muttering Lulu, Lulu, Lulu. The man touring asked what was wrong. The tour guide said that twenty-five years ago the man was left at the altar by Lulu on their wedding day. The man said that he could understand how that would be hard.
When they finally arrived at the fifth floor that was a man muttering Lulu but more uncontrollable than the first man. The man touring wanted to know what was going on. The tour guide said that twenty-five years ago that man had indeed married Lulu!
No matter how bad you think that you might think you have it someone has it worse. Sometimes what you consider bad can get worse. It rains on the just and unjust. Did you ever think you had it bad until the thing got worse? Then you finally realize that you didn’t have it so bad after all.No matter how bad you may think have it, someone else has it worse, much worse.
You could be griping and then your problem turn out to be a Lulu of a problem. I wouldn’t be brave enough to ask to trade my problem off for fear of getting a worse one that I might not be able to handle.
There are plenty of people who have it worse than you do. Look around and count your blessings. Don’t ever think that you are the only one who has ever had it hard. Plenty of people have had it worse than us and still held their head up high,and won the victory.
You may trade your cross off to discover that your cross was the smallest one they made. I want to glory in tribulation.
