Famous poem - Mary Stevenson in 1936
There is a famous poem which was inspired to a certain woman named Mary Stevenson in 1936 which reads:
“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 the 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.””
There is more hidden meaning in the one foot steps... Pondering Qlers are welcome...
Very nice indeed TFS
It was a bit hard in the beginning here but God was carrying me till i made it to the safe side
God works in mysterious ways, keep your chin up always!
Yes Difficult times are God's gift as they make you more creative and strong.
TFS...yes God is always with us through our difficult times that why we are still going strong..
