One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scene of 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's only one set of footprints. I don't understand why when i needed You most, You would leave me,"
The Lord replied, "My precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see the only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you."
This is what I keep in my mind most of the times, specially through the downs of my life. One very important lesson in life I've learnt, we shouldn't doubt our God. Whatever is happening in our daily life, it is going according to His plans for us. He did not let it happen for no reason. With every single trial in our lives, He didn't let it happen cuz He wants to bring us down. I myself dunno His reasons but one thing that i'm keeping in mind, He loves every single one of us. :) :)
Sorry guys for there's no picture. I'm using mobile to blog for now. :) :)
