Footsteps

Unknown AuthorDeep in his slumber, one

night a man had a very real, yet surreal dream. He dreamt that he was

walking along the beach with God. As he looked up at the sky, he saw

all the scenes of his life flash by along with two sets of footprints:

one set for himself, and another for God.

After all the scenes had flashed before him, he looked back at those

footprints and noticed something quite disturbing: At the most

difficult times in his life, he saw only one set of footprints.

This deeply troubled the man, so he turned and said to God: " You said

that if I followed you, then you would always walk with me through

thick and thin. In looking back, I see that during the most painful

times there is only one set of footprints. Why did you leave me when I

needed you the most? "

" I love you and would never leave. It was during those times when you suffered the most that I carried you. " Though this was originally a religious parable, it is also one of

great spiritual depth even for the non-religious. One need only replace

" God " with any word they use, be it " Allah, " " Universal Connectedness, "

" Consciousness, " " Higher Self, " or others, to see that we are not

alone, and that there is an energy that is always looking out for the

best interests of our spiritual evolution.
