The story that changed my life!

A lot of people wonder why we often feels so alone but this one story taught me a very important lesson. So as you read this think about what it means to you.

"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 on 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 testing's.

When you saw only one set of footprints,

It was then that I carried you."

This story brings tears to my eyes every time I read it. It is such an amazing truth, that Our Savior and Redeemer is there to carry us through our trials. Don't forget that! One of my favorites hymns is called "I know that my Redeemer lives". The words of the first verse goes like this:

I know that my Redeemer lives. 

What comfort this sweet sentence gives!

He lives, he lives, who once was dead.

He lives, my ever-living Head.

He lives to bless me with His Love. 

He lives to plead for me above. 

He lives my hungry soul to feed.

He lives to bless in time of need. 

So Yes I know that my Redeemer lives. I know that with all my heart. And my prayer today is that everyone can know that eternal truth.
