Verse 23 – Footprints

One night a man had a dream.
He dreamed he was walking along a beach with the Lord.
Across the sky flawed scenes from his life.
For each scene, he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand:
one belonging to him and one to the Lord.
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 son, My 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”.
