Footprints in the Sand

One night a man had a dream. He dreamed He was walking along the beach with the LORD. Across the sky flashed scenes from His life. For each scene He noticed two sets of footprints in the sand. One belonging to Him and the other to the LORD.

When the last scene of His life flashed before Him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of His life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times of His life.

This really bothered Him and He 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 precious, 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.

==========================================

whenever I felt lonely and helpless I will always reminded of this poem. And it also evoked me how warmth the embrace are and it still with me since the moment I first read it. Language can be so beautiful that it give me such inner strength and warmth whenever I read it over and over again. It's incomparable.

You always walk alongside with me. Thank you can never be enough and I’m glad You found me.

I dig out who wrote this poem. It was wrote in 1922 and rewrite in 1963 by Carolyn Carty.
