It is 5:35 in the morning and im sitting at work exhausted and just ready to get home for some sleep, but had some downtime to do a posting. I saw this pamphlet sitting on the counter by the nurses station that just caught my eye. I found it reassuring and should help the ones who are not yet believers that God is truly here to lean on, to guide us, and to help us through time of need.
"I dreamed that I had died. The Lord and I walked side by side, leaving two sets of footprints in the sand. Ahead in the distance, I could see the pearly gate of heaven. I took one last glance behind me, wanting to remeber all the footsteps I had taken through life. Behind me, over the smooth and easy paths of my life's journey, there were two sets of footprints in the sand. But whre the road was steep and difficult to travel, there appeared only one set of footprints. I asked the Lord this question: "Lord, I believed that you would walk by my side through my life, during easy times and difficult times. But during the hard journeys, I see only one set of footprints, Why?" The Lord answered, "My child, I was with you all through your travels, but along the most difficult paths, I carried you."
We are never alone not now and not ever. It took me a bit to realize that no matter if i ever feel alone and I have the feeling that nobody is listening, I look up to my side and I know God is right there holding my hand and telling me everything will be ok. That is the best feeling finally to know that I will never be alone not now and not even the day I take my last breath on this earth. He is here, I am a child of God.
I have seen this before as well. My grandmother had it framed in her house. It is a beautiful way to tell that God will never turn his back on you. It reminds me of one of my favorite quotes as well: "If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it."
