The Footprints In The Sand

by Mark Stevenson

One night a man had a dream. He dreamed
he was walking along the beach with the LORD.

Across the sky flashed scenes from his life.
For each scene he noticed two sets of
footprints in the sand: one belonging
to him, and the other to the LORD.

When the last scene of his life flashed before him,
he looked back at the footprints in the sand.

He noticed that many times along the path of
his life there was only one set of footprints.

He also noticed that it happened at the very
lowest and saddest times in his life.

This really bothered him and he
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 needed you most you would leave me."

The LORD replied:

"My son, my precious child,
I love you and I 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.”



沙灘上的腳印

馬克 史蒂文生 作

一天晚上，男人作了個夢，和主在沙灘上同行。

浮生歲月，荏苒光景，此時乍現天際；許多時候，

他看見沙灘上有兩行腳印，因為有主為伴。

可是，到了人生最後一幕出現，他再回頭數算腳印，

赫然發現，人生中有更多時刻，腳印竟只有一行？！

而那正是他最低潮、最哀傷的當口！

男人困擾不已，於是問主：

「主啊，當我決定跟隨你的時候，你不是應許我，要一路與我同行？

可是我發現，

在我人生最難過的日子裡，竟然只有一行腳印。

我不明白，為何在我最需要你的時候，你竟會離我遠去？」

主回答他：

「親愛的孩子，在你苦痛受試煉時，我從未離開過你，你所看見的那一行腳印，

正是我抱著你走過時留下的。」
