"Your path led through the sea, your way through the mighty waters, though your footprints were not seen." Psalm 77:19 Footprints in the Sand by Mary Stevenson (written in 1939) One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord. Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky. In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand. Sometimes there were two sets of footprints, other times there were one set of footprints. This bothered me because I noticed that during the low periods of my life, when I was suffering from anguish, sorrow or defeat, I could see only one set of footprints. So I said to the Lord,”You promised me Lord, that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life there have only been one set of footprints in the sand. Why, when I needed you most, you have not been there for me?” The Lord replied, “The times when you have seen only one set of footprints, is when I carried you.” (read) The Way Back Home (and also) Hope, and Hope Again (and) Write Kindness on Your Heart |
