There are times in life when we feel alone. The great wonder of why may over take you and you cry out to God for help. It is in those moments that God is carrying you and there is only one set of footprints. I have felt these times of life before and wonder why seem to consume me. As I grow older, I know that God's timing is important and I lean not to my own understanding.
I want to share this poem with you now and the author is unknown:
One night I dreamed a dream.
As 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.
After the last scene of my life flashed before me,
I looked back at the footprints in the sand.
I noticed that at many times along the path of my life,
especially at the very lowest and saddest times,
there was only one set of footprints.
This really troubled me, so I asked the Lord about it.
"Lord, you said once I decided to follow you,
You'd walk with me all the way.
But I noticed that during the saddest and most troublesome times of my life,
there was only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why, when I needed You the most, You would 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."
END OF POEM
I WILL GO WITH YOU ~ God never leaves us alone.
His purpose is far greater than we might realize. One life can be a spark into connections with others. There will be things in life, that are part of life. Times of joys and sorrows, but times to make us grow to become better. Never loose sight of God calling us his children and he leads us daily, if we allow him. The good can outweigh the bad and I know this.
God wants the best for each of us. Our destiny awaits each of us. It is hard a times when we see others get things in life and we still wait. Keep in mind, we never know what others go through and how God answers us each different. Purpose your mind positive today and see the blessings you have.
My prayers continue for you, your family and friends.
