His yoke is easy, and His burden is light

"Footprints in the Sand"

One night I had a dream. I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord.

Across the sky flashed scenes from my life...

For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand, one belonging to me, and the other to the Lord..When the last scene of my life flashed before me, I looked back at the footprints in the sand. I noticed that many times along the path of my life there was only one set of footprints. I also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in my life. This really bothered me and I questioned the Lord about it: "Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you, you'd walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why when I need you most you would leave me."

The Lord replied: "My precious child, I love you and would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you."

I know that in times of hardship, the Lord is there to carry us and to bring us to the place where he would have us go. I testify that He is real. He is our Savior, and I know that He loves us. I love this scripture in Matthew 11:28-30..."28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."

I Stand All Amazed...at the love of our Savior.
