FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND

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 noticed that during the most trying periods
Of my life there have only been
One set of prints in the sand.
Why, When I have 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."

sometimes...at the hardest parts of our lives it seems like we are totally alone and that even God seems to abandon us..but this shows that although it may seem that God has left us he is actuali carrying us.l..It may not seem like it at the time but if you look back at a time in your life that you felt like everything was too much.. im sure most of you would be able to see how you came through that situation..it may not have been a great time but God can get you through anything..for He is a God of wonders and miracles...one who does extraordinary tings..

there is no problem too big GOd cannot solve it...

there is no mountain too tall, He cannot move it...

there is no storm too dark, GOd cannot calm it...

there is no sorrow too deep, He cannot soothe it...

If He carried the weight of the world upon His shoulders

I knw my brother that He will carry you

He said come..unto me...those who are weary..

and I...will give you rest....

No matter how hard times may be...He will carry us through it..=)
