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 of
footprints.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".
