Footprints in the Sand
One night I had a dream
I was walking along
the beach with my Lord.
Across the sky flashed scenes from my life.
For each scene I noticed two sets
of footprints
in the sand,
one belonging to me
and the other to my Lord.
When the last scene of my life shot before me
I looked
back at the footprints in the sand.
There was only on set of footprints.
I realized that this was at the lowest
and
saddest times in my life.
This always bothered me
and I questioned the Lord
about my dilemma.
"Lord, you told
me when I decided to follow You,
You would walk and talk with me all the way.
But I'm aware that during the most troublesome
times of my life there is only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why, when I needed You most,
you leave
me."
He whispered, "My precious, precious child,
I love you and will never leave you
never, ever during your
times of trial and testings.
When you saw only one set of footprints
It was then that I carried you."
