During some of my most troubled times I have relied on God's angels to help me through! I know they are there because I have heard them & felt them: actually felt their touch! Sometimes like a tingling on my skin & at others like the softest caress. My Dear One has been with me for many years. Even when I was a child & could not explain things that were happening to me, I know I was not alone. I just know! It is like a peaceful comfort that is with me when I know that things are not going so well. So even when things are bad I don't feel totally lost, I know God is with me! My Dear One is there to carry me through those times when my physical body or mind is unable to cope. Just like in that beautiful poem: Footprints.
Footprints
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 & 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 & saddest times in his life
This really bothered him & 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 precious, precious child
I love you & I would never leave you
During your times of trial & suffering
When you see only one set of footprints
It was then that I carried you!"
This is my experience & has been for so many times in my life beyond counting! My dear Lord has kept His promise & carried me through my most troublesome times! I could not have done any of these things without Him by my side! Without Him I am nothing! Without Him I could not exist or be here today telling my life story to you now!
