Footprints
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 foot-
Prints. 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 needed you most you would leave me.:
The LORD replies, “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.”
