FOOTPRINT

FOOTPRINT

One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was
walking along the beach with LORD. Across the sky
flashed scenes from his life. For each scenes, he noticed
two sets of footprints in the sand; one belonged to him,
and the other to the LORD.

When the last scenes 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 a;so noticed that it happened at the
very lowest and saddest times in his life.

This really bother him and he question 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."
