Footprints in the sand...

One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord.

Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky. In each scene I

noticed footprints in the sand. Sometimes there were two sets of

footprints, other times there was only one.

This bothered me because I notice that during the low periods of

my life, when I was suffering from anguish, sorrow of defeat, I

could see only one set of footprints...

So I said to the Lord, "You promised me, Lord, that if I followed

you, you would walk with me always. But I have noticed that during

the most trying periods of my life there has only been one set of

footprints in the sand. Why, when I needed you most, have you

not been there for me?"

The Lord replied,

"The years when you have seen

only one set of footprints,

my child, is when...

I CARRIED YOU."

"I am with you

ALWAYS

to the very end of the age!"

Matthew 28:20b
