Footprints

Last Saturday was my commissioning as a Children's Leader. Then, I received this card and bookmark from Pr. Nancy -Children's Church Pastor-

The message on the bookmark really caught my attention. I was so encouraged by the message. The title of the message on the bookmark is -Footprints- by 2008 Earthscope Enterprises. Here's the message that I want to share with you all:-

One night a man had a dream. he dreamed he was walking along the beach with the LORD. Across the sky he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand, one belonged 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 happens at the 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 of 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 previous child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your time of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you."

I was so encouraged by the message. After I read the message, I imagined on how the LORD carry me by giving me a piggyback ride.

=') I am so happy to have a Father who always carry me through my trial and suffering. Brother and sister, don't be discouraged by your trial and suffering, our Father in heaven is always keeping His promises and one of the promises is "I will never leave you nor forsake you!"

I like phrase that wrote by Sister Elaine, my friend from Ipoh, saying...
"God did not promise us a smooth journey in our life BUT He promised to walk with us every steps of our life!"

As long as HAND IN HAND & SIDE BY SIDE with the LORD, you will experience the love, peace and joy! AMEN! I^-^I
