FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND


One night a man had a dream.

He dreamed he was walking

along the beach with the LORD,

across the sky flashed scenes from 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 in his life.

This really bothered him

and he questioned the LORD about it.

"LORD, Thou said

that once I decided to follow Thee,

Thou would 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 Thee most that Thou would leave me."


The LORD replied,


"My 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."
