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 in
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 of my life,
there is only one set
of footprints. I don't understand why,
when I needed you the
most, you would leave me."
The Lord replied, "My
precious, precious child, I love You
and would never leave
you. During your times of trial
and suffering, when you
saw only one set of footprints,
it was then that I carried
you."
