"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 belonging 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
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 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." |
