Footprints
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 paths 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, 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 son, my precious child, I love
you
and I would never leave you. During your times
of trials and suffering, when you see only one
set of
footprints,
it was then that I carried you.”
