Foot Prints In the Sand

main image

Someone wrote the poem Foot Prints. The poem tells of how a pilgrim was walking in a desert place and he noticed the foot prints in the sand where he had walked. In the good places there appeared two sets of prints and when he had struggled there were only one set of prints and when things were good again, there were again two sets of prints. The pilgrim asked the Lord about this and the Lord replied "When you were in a good safe place that was when I allowed you to walk beside me". The Lord continued, "when you needed me most I carried you, and then when I saw it was safe for you again I let you walk beside me again".

We often forget that Jesus is the good shepherd, and he tenderly watches over us allowing us to walk with him. And guiding us he leads us beside still waters and pastures that are green. But when we've wondered too far away, he places us upon his shoulders until he determines when it is best to walk with him again safely. Remember He doesn't love us with a superficial love but with one that goes beyond our comprehension. Are you wondering where he is sometimes? Have you wondered away from him and fallen? We'd love to hear from you to encourage you that his grace is extended to you write us and let his love surround you!!!
