FOOTPRINTS...A New Version
Imagine you and the Lord Jesus are walking down the road together.
For much of the way, the Lord's footprints go along steadily,
consistently, rarely varying the pace.
But your footprints are a disorganized stream of zigzags, starts,
stops, turnarounds, circles, departures, and returns.
For much of the way, it seems to go like this, but gradually your
footprints come more in line with the Lord's, soon parallelingHis
consistently.
You and Jesus are walking as true friends!
This seems perfect, but then an interesting thing happens: Your
footprints that once etched the sand next to Jesus' are now walking
precisely in His steps.
Inside His larger footprints are your smaller ones,
you and Jesus are becoming one.
This goes on for many miles, but gradually you notice another
change.
The footprints inside the large footprints seem to grow larger.
Eventually they disappear altogether.
There is only one set of footprints they have become one.
This goes on for a long time, but suddenly the second set of
footprints is back.
This time it seems even worse!
Zigzags all over the place. Stops. Starts.
Gashes in the sand. A variable mess of prints.
You are amazed and shocked.
Your dream ends. Now you pray:
"Lord, I understand the first scene, with zigzags and fits... I was
a new Christian; I was just learning. But You walked on through the
storm and helped me learn to walk with You."
"That is correct."
"And when the smaller footprints were inside of Yours, I was
actually learning to walk in Your steps, following You very closely."
"Very good.. You have understood everything so far."
When the smaller footprints grew and filled in Yours, I suppose
that I was becoming like You in every way."
"Precisely."
"So, Lord, was there a regression or something? The footprints
separated, and this time it was worse than at first."
There is a pause as the Lord answers, with a smile in His voice.
"You didn't know? It was then that we danced!"
To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under
heaven: A time to weep, a time to laugh, A time to mourn, and a time
to dance.
Ecclesiastes 3:1,4.
Funny how you can send a thousand 'jokes' through e-mail and they
spread like wildfire, but when you start sending messages regarding
the Lord, people think twice about sharing. Funny isn't it? Are you
laughing? Are you thinking? Spread the Word and give thanks to the
Lord for He is good!
Funny isn't it, when you go to forward this message, how many on
your list are not receiving it because you're not sure they believe
in anything?
....Sad.
It's not WHAT you have in your life, but Whom you have in your
life that counts.... Think about that.
I ASKED GOD
I asked for a flower,
He gave me a garden.
I asked for a tree,
He gave me a forest.
I asked for a river,
He gave me an ocean.
I asked for a friend,
He gave me "YOU."
Send this to whomever you think of as a friend..... I did.
