Footprints in the Sand

One night I had a dream. I was walking along the beach

with the Lord, and across the skies flashed scenes from my life. In

each scene I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand. One was

mine, and one was the Lord's. When the last scene of my life

appeared before me, I looked back at the footprints in the sand, and,

to my surprise, I noticed that many times along the path of my life

there was only one sets of footprints. And I noticed that it was at

the lowest and saddest things in my life. I asked the Lord about

it: " Lord, You said that once I decided to follow You, You would walk

with me all the way. But I notice that during the most troublesome

times in my life there is only one set of footprints. I don't

understand why You left my side when I needed You most " .

 

The Lord said " My precious child, I never left you during your time

of trial. Where you see only one set of footprints, I was carrying

you " .
