Footprints ()
Return to product listingsalong 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
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 saw only one set of footprints,
it was then that I carried you."
