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 2 sets of footprints in the sand, one belonged 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 were only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest time of his life.
This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it. "Lord you said, that ones 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 was only one set of footprints. I don't understand that why when I needed you most, you would leave me."
The Lord replied:" My beautiful precious child, I love you and I would never leave you, during your times of trial and suffering when you only see one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you!" |
