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 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."
