Footprints 2

(PV16)

One night I had a dream.

I was walking along the beach with the Lord,

and across the skies flashed scenes from my life. 

 

In each scene I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand. 

One was mine, and one was the Lord's. 

 

When the last scene of my life appeared before me,

I looked back at the footprints in the sand,

and to my surprise,

I noticed that many times along the path of my life

there was only one set of footprints. 

And I noticed, that it was at the lowest

and saddest times in my life.

 

I asked the Lord about it

Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you,

you would walk with me all the way. 

But I notice that during the most troublesome times in my life

there is only one set of footprints,

I don't understand why you left my side

when I needed you most. 

 

The Lord said

My precious child, I never left you

during your time of trial. 

Where you see only one set of footprints,

I was carrying you.
