One
night I dreamed a dream.
I was walking along the beach with my Lord.
Across the dark sky flashed scenes from my life.
For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints
in the sand, one belonging to me and one to
my Lord.
When the last scene of my life shot before me
I looked back at the footprints in the sand.
There was only one set of footprints.
I realized that this was at the lowest and saddest
times of my life.
This always bothered me and I questioned the
Lord about my dilemma.
"Lord, you told me when I decided to follow
You, You would walk and talk with me all the
way.
But I'm aware that during the most troublesome
times of my life there is only one set of footprints.
I just don't understand why, when I needed You
most, You leave me."
He whispered, "My precious child, I love
you and will never leave you never, ever, during
your trials and testings.
When you saw only one set of footprints it was
then that I carried you."
