FOOTPRINTS Verse 26
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 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
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 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 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”.
