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 belonging 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 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 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."
