As I walked along the beach, I left footprints behind. As I looked back, I saw the footprints and i saw the paths I took.
I saw where I stepped on and it was even clearer to me after looking back at where I stepped on.
Broken shells were around, spots of blood grazed the sand, leaving spots of crimson everywhere.
In my short sightedness, I stared.
I stared and was fixated in the process of looking at the prints and where I stepped on.
I woke up from my dream and i prayed. I asked why there was so much blood when i look now and realise i didnt get that many cuts.
My Lord said, :"some are yours, and some are mine".
Then he said, come, I know you must be tired from the walk. You must be weary. The walk has made you weary.
Let me give you rest so that we can go to the beach once again.
I took a breather alone, which seemed like an eternity for i was so tired.
We went back to the beach once again after i awoke.
This time i saw the rays of the sun, the silver lining shining out from the clouds. I saw the calm seas and I saw the gentle waves coming up to the shore.
The sand looked untouched. The shoreline was flat and not undulating.
In front of me, was a whole coast of fine, white, powdery sand.
What happened!? I exclaimed. This wasn't how i left it just now before the short breather.
My Lord said to me. My friend, while you were resting, I was working. I brought in the tide, I brought in the waves, I erased everything.
Now, my friend, the beach is ours once again. The sand is soft, the sun is shini
ng.
Let's go for a walk, now, together, hand in hand.
For i've walked with you previously and i know you.
I feel you and i'm a part of you as much as you're a part of me.
Let's go for a walk, now, together, hand in hand.
For I will not let go, I never have, and I never will.
Lets us bask together in my graces, for I've created something new and different - for you and for me.
Footprints in the sand
One night I dreamed a dream.I was walking along the beach with my Lord.
Across the dark sky flashed scenes from my life.
For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand, one belonging to me and one to my Lord.
When the last scene of my life shot before me
I looked back at the footprints in the sand.
There was only one set of footprints.
I realized that this was at the lowest and saddest times of my life.
This always bothered me and I questioned the Lord about my dilemma.
'Lord, You told me when I decided to follow You,
You would walk and talk with me all the way.
But I'm aware that during the most troublesome times of my life there is only one set of footprints.
I just don't understand why, when I need You most, You leave me.'
He whispered, 'My precious child, I love you and will never leave you,
never, ever, during your trials and testings.
When you saw only one set of footprints, It was then that I carried you.'
I saw where I stepped on and it was even clearer to me after looking back at where I stepped on.
Broken shells were around, spots of blood grazed the sand, leaving spots of crimson everywhere.
In my short sightedness, I stared.
