Why, Lord?
Footprints In The Sand:
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. When you see only one set of footprints,
I Was Carrying You."
