Footprints in the sand

Footprints in the sand

One night I fi s dream:
I was walking on the beach with my Lord.
On the black sky of my life episodes were screened,
As on a huge screen.
And on the sand I saw every time two footprints:
Mine and those of my Lord.
After the last stage of my life, I turned.
I was surprised to see places
The traces of one person.
I realized then that I crossed the most difficult times
And the saddest of my life.
Worried I asked the Lord:
"The day I decided to follow you,
You told me you would walk with me always.
But I find now
Only the worst moments of my life
there are the footprints of one person,
Why have you abandoned me
when I most needed you? '.'
He replied:
"My darling, I love you
And I never t`abandonnerai, never, never,
Especially not when you go through the test.
Where one person scored the sand of her feet,
It was I who carried you.

God's faithfulness in our trials "No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond your strength ... "(1 Corinthians 10:13). We all know that beautiful poetry of Brazilian poet Ademar De Barros where he tells that he had seen in a dream all the scenes of his life, walking on the beach, in the company of the Lord. He explains: "I looked back and saw that every time in my life, there were two pairs of footsteps on the sand. One was mine, the other was that of the Lord ... I noticed that in some places there was only one set of footprints, and it corresponded exactly with the most difficult days my life, the days of greater anxiety, more fear and also of greater pain. So I asked the Lord: "You told me you were with me every day of my life ... but I noticed that in the worst moments of my life, there was only one track to not. I can not understand that you have left me alone at times when I most need you. "And the Lord replied," My son, you are so precious to me! I love you ! I never abandoned you, not even a single minute! The days you saw only one set of footprints on the sand, those days of hardship and suffering, well: it was I who carried you. "After explaining the Corinthians, all the blessings God has granted to Israel in the wilderness (vs. 1/4), Paul reminds them that Israel was unfaithful, indulging in debauchery, idolatry, and murmuring against God (vs. 5/10). While they were in favor of the faithfulness of God, fed with manna and quail, watered by abundant water flowing from the rock, the people of God, did not pay attention to the faithfulness of God and became unfaithful. While traversing a difficult period, while loneliness surrounds you, while the race is in your life, remember that in those times, the faithful God is with you, and even wishes to bring you. Chase deceptive thought of believing that God has abandoned you. God is faithful, who supports you in this way test. He will not let you be tempted beyond your strength, it keeps control of the situation, stay in peace, God loves you unconditionally. Thank you Lord for your faithfulness, my trials sleepers you by my side, and you encourage me to trust you completely. Amen! Paul Calzada
