FOOTPRINTS

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.”

The poem above (known also as "Footprints in the Sand") really touched the bottom of my heart, the first time I read it on the wall, at my grandpa's house.

It is a really popular poem that was written by Margaret Fishback Powers in 1964.

I notice how we don't realize that God is always with us all the time...even when the worst times of our life we just shout at Him.. "Why do you leave me alone?"

We don't realize the love that He gives us ...

He doesn't accompany us anymore by walking beside us... instead.. He carries us in His hands...

Amazing... really amazing... how His love works on us...

even it's beyond of our imagination !

God is really great !
