"Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies, Who satisfies your mouth with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's." Psalm 103:2-5

Meet Him on the beach.

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 just one set of footprints.

This bothered me because I noticed
that during the low periods of my life,
when I was suffering from
sorrow, anguish, 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 have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life
there have only been one set of footprints in the sand.
Why when I needed You most, You were not there for me?"

The Lord replied,
"The times when you see only one set of footprints in the sand
is when I carried you."


Great is HIS faithfulness.
