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,
turn arounds,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 paralleling His 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,
safely 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..Deep gashes in the sand.
A veritable mess.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;
followed 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?
That was when 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
Spread the Word and
give thanks to the Lord.
May God Bless You All
