FOOTPRINTS
One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking
along the beach with Jehovah. Across the sky flashed
scenes from his life. For each scene, he noticed
two sets of footprints in the sand,
one for him and one for Jehovah.
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 were only one
set of footprints. he also notice that it happened at the
very lowest and saddest times of his life.
This really bothered him and he questioned Jehovah
about it. "Jehovah, you said that once I decided to follow you,
you would 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?"
Jehovah 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."
