Last night I had a dream. I dreamed I was
walking along the beach with the Lord.
Across
the sky flashed scenes from my life. For
each
scene, I noticed two sets of footprints
in
the sand: one belonged to me, the other
to
the Lord.
After the last scene of my life flashed
before me, I looked back at the
footprints in
the sand. I noticed that at many times
along
the path of my life, especially at the
very
lowest and saddest times, there was only
one
set of footprints.
This really troubled me, so I asked the
Lord
about it. "Lord, you said once I decided
to
follow you, You'd walk with me all the
way.
But I noticed that during the saddest and
most troublesome times of my life, there
was
only one set of footprints. I don't
understand why, when I needed You the
most,
You would leave me."
The Lord replied, "My son, my precious
child,
I love you and I would never leave you.
During your times of suffering, when you
could see only one set of footprints, it
was
then that I carried you."
