One night a man had a dream.
He dreamt he
was walking along the
beach with the LORD.
Across the sky flashed scenes from his life.
For each scene, he noticed
two
sets of footprints in the sand;
one belonging 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 of his life.
This 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 offootprints.
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 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".
