Footprints
One
night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was
walking
along the beach with the LORD. Across
the sky
flashed scenes of his life. For each scene,
he noticed
two sets of footprints in the sand; one
belonging
to him, and the other to the LORD.
When the last scene of his life flashed before him,
He looked
back at the footprints in the sand. He
noticed
that many times along the path of his life
there was
only one set of footprints. He also
noticed
that it happened at the very lowest and
saddest
times of his life.
This really bothered him and he questioned the
LORD about
it. "LORD, you said that once I
decided to
follow you, you'd walk with me all the
way.
But I have noticed that during the most
troublesome times in my life, there is only one set
of
footprints; I don't understand why when I
needed you
most you would leave me."
The LORD replied, "My precious, precious child,
I love you
and I would never leave you. During
your times
of trial and suffering, when you see
only one
set of footprints, it was then that I
carried
you."
