Footprints In The Sand

I had the dream of all dreams!

My Lord Jesus invited me to take a walk with him.

He was my guide, and he showed me a path along a beautiful ocean shore.

As we walked, Visions of my life past shone brightly in the darkened sky.

At the end of our walk I turned around to see from where we had come.

I saw two sets of footprints in the soft warm sand.

At times, the two sets of footprints had become just one.

I realised it coincided with times in my life when I was down and in despair.

It bothered me to see such. So I questioned the Lord.

“Lord, you said you would be my guide, and if I followed your path you would never leave me.

Yet I see at times in my life when I was down, when I was in despair,

The time when I prayed and needed you most, you had abandoned me!”

Jesus replied,

“My child. I have loved you since the beginning of time, I would never leave you.

The times when you see just one set of foot prints, the time when you were in your deepest darkest hour.

That, is when I carried you.”
