Last night I had a dream. I dreamed I was walking along the
beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from my
life. For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in
the sand: one belonged to me, the other to the Lord.
After the last scene of my life flashed before me, I looked
back at the footprints in the sand. I noticed that at many
times along the path of my life, especially at the very
lowest and saddest times, there was only one set of
footprints.
This really troubled me, so I asked the Lord about it.
“Lord, you said once I decided to follow you, You’d walk
with me all the way. But I noticed that during the saddest
and most troublesome times of my life, there was only one
set of footprints. I don’t understand why, when I needed You
the most, You would leave me.”
The Lord replied, “My son, my precious child, I love you and
I would never leave you. During your times of suffering,
when you could see only one set of footprints, it was then
that I carried you.” |
