Footprints in the Sands
One night I dreamed I was walking
Along the beach with the Lord.
Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.
In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand.
Sometimes there were two sets of footprints.
Other times there were one set of footprints.
This bothered me because I noticed that
During the low periods of my life when I was
Suffering from anguish, sorrow, or defeat,
I could see only one set of footprints,
So I said to the Lord, "You promised me,
Lord, that if I followed You,
You would walk with me always.
But I noticed that during the most trying periods
Of my life there have only been
One set of prints in the sand.
Why, When I have needed You most,
You have not been there for me?"
The Lord replied,
"The times when you have seen only one set of footprints
Is when I carried you."

沙滩上的脚印
*************************
一天晚上,我梦见我和主一道
在沙滩上散步
生命中许多情景在天空中闪过
在每一个情景里,我注意到了沙滩上的脚印
有时有两行
有时只有一行
我觉得很困惑,因为我注意到
在我生命中低沉的日子里
当我承受苦闷、悲伤和打击时,
我只见到一行的脚印
于是,我对主说:“你答应我的,
我的主啊,如果我跟随你,
你将永远陪我一起走
但是,我注意到在我生命中最为困难的日子里,
沙滩上仅仅只有一行的脚印,
为什么当我最需要你的时候,
你没有和我在一起呢?
主回答说:
你只见到一行脚印,
正是因为我在背着你。
