One day I was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky
flashed scenes from my life. For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in
the sand: one belonging to me, and the other to the Lord.
When the last scene of
my life flashed before me, I looked back at the footprints in the sand. I
noticed that many times along the path of my life there was only one set of
footprints. I also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times
in my life. This really bothered me and I 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 son, My precious child, I love you and I would
never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one
set of footprints, it was then that I Carried You."
