FOOTPRINTS
One night, I dreamed a dream,
I was walking along the beach with my Lord
Across the dark sky flashed scenes from my life
For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints
In the sand, one is belonging to me and one to my Lord.
When the last scene of my life shot before me
I looked back at the footprints in the sand and my surprise,
I noticed that many times along the path of my life,
There was only one set of footprints
I realized that this was at the lowest and saddest times of my life;
This always bothered me and I questioned the Lord about my dilemma.
!! Lord, you told me when I decided to follow you; you would walk and talk with me all the way.
But I’m aware that during the most troubles some times of my life
There is only one set of footprints;
I just don’t understand why, when I needed you most, you leave me.
He whispered; “My precious Child”
I love you and will never leave you, never, ever, during your trials and testing.
When you saw only one set of footprints
It was then that “I carried you.
