"Footprints"

Note: At a time where I began to question the existence of God in my life, I stumbled upon an old piece of note hung at a wall while I was rushing to bind my Criminal Law Assignment. Although there’s still a possibility of me being an Atheist, but you just can’t help to think that miracles don’t just happen by itself in life. Here’s the note which got me questioning all over again:

                One night I had a dream…I dreamed I was walking along the beach with God and across the sky flashed scenes of my life. For each scene, I notice two sets of footprints in the sand, one belonged to me and the other to God. When the last scene of my life flashed before us I looked back, at the footprints in the sand.

            I also noticed that at times along the path of life there was only one set of footprints. I also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest time of my life. This really bothered me and I asked God about it.

            “God, you said that once I decided to follow you, you would walk with me all the way, but I noticed that during the most troublesome time in my life there is only one set of footprints. I don’t understand why in times I needed you most, you would leave me.” God replied, “My precious, precious child, I love you and I would never, ever leave you alone during your times of trials and suffering.”

            “When you only see one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.”
