Footprints in the sand
| O
ne night a
woman had a dream. She dreamed she was walking along the
beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from
her life. For each scene, she noticed two sets of
footprints in the sand; one belonged to her and the other
to the Lord. When the last scene of her life flashed before her, she looked back at the footprints in the sand. She noticed that many times along the path of her life there was only one set of footprints. She also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in her life. This really bothered her and she 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; their is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why when I need you most you would leave me." The
Lord replied, "My precious child, I love you and
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. |
I too saw only one set of footprints. I was so consumed with pain and depression I could not realize I was being carried and that the footprints were the Lords. Jesus said He would put no more on us than we can bear. He also said He would never leave us nor forsake us. The journey was long and hard and the road was dark and grim, but God sure made a believer out of me!! Through it all I learned this precious truth:
