One night
a man had a dream.
He dreamed he was walking along the beach with
the Lord.
Across the colorful sky flashed scenes from his
life.
For each scene, he noticed two sets of
footprints;
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 and 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 believe in You, You'd walk with me all
the way. But I have noticed that during themost
troublesome times in my life, there is only one
set of footprints. I don't understand why when I
needed You most You would abandon me."
The Lord said unto him," My
precious, precious child, I love you and would
never leave you. During your times of trial and
tribulation, when you see only one set of
footprints, it was then that I carried you."
