VERSE:
One night
a man had a dream.
He dreamed 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 notices that it happened at the very
lowest and saddest times in his life. This
really bothered him and he questioned
the Lord about it. “Lord, you said that
you’d walk with me all the way.
But I 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 the
most you would leave me.”
The Lord 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.”
