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 was only one
set of footprints. He also noticed 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 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 need 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 saw only one set of footprints, it was
then that I carried you.”
