I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
Hebrews 13:5



O ne 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.

F or each scene, he noticed two sets
of footprints in the sand; one belonged 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.

T his 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."
