Footprints - Guardian Angel

One night a man had a dream.

He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand; one belonged to him, and the other to the Lord.

When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. he noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life.

This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it. "Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you, you'd walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that at the worst times in my life, there is only one set of footprints. How could you leave me when I needed you the most?"

The Lord replied " My precious, precious child, I love you and would never leave you. During your times of suffering and when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you...

God wants to walk with you.

Dear Readers,
Christian greetings.If you see the above first picture you will notice that there two sets of footprints,one is of the follower of Jesus and other is of the Lord himself.When a person repents and commits his or her life to Jesus and accepts Jesus as his or her Saviour Jesus starts walking with that person in their real lives.He becomes their unseen companion but as a sheild also.Jesus in order to protect and guide Jesus accompanys the person day and night.But if you see the second picture,one will find only one set of footprints.That is the time when the person is in trouble or facing some broblem Jesus carries that person(follower) in His arms.That is the time Jesus comes and not only carries but also protects from any evantulity(trouble).What a Saviour He is? Thus He proves his faithfulness.That is why King David calls him his sheild and also refuge where he can take rest.I remember my old days when I was in utter need of a house of my own.I was fade up of living in rented house.Every six months or so the landlord would ask to vacate fearing that I might not leave.As we were praying for a flat, one day God directed me to a certain housing colony where He would provide one.Accordingly I enquired and found one flat which was for sale.When I contacted the owner and asked him to show me that flat,he came personally and after finalizing the price he just gave the key and walked away without taking a single rupee.I paid the price later on that is a different matter.But God provided me the flat instantly that is the issue.What I want to stress is that at a time the Lord carries you when you are in trouble.And this the time a follower can hear his sweet words saying. " My precious child,I love you and would never leave you." Hallelujah.

Do you want the the Lord should walk with you in your life? Then this the day you can commit your life to such a wonderful Saviour and allow him to come in your life.So that He can take hold of your life and start walking with you.Say this prayer. " Lord Jesus I believe that I am a sinner.I also believe that you died for my sins.Lord Jesus please forgive my sins and cleanse my heart with your precious blood and make me worthy to come in your presence.Lord Jesus thank you for forgiving my sins and making me worthy to come before you.I also thank you for accepting me as your child.Lord Jesus I want to commit my life to you.I also promise to read your word and apply your teaching to my life.Lord Jesus give your Spirit which you have promised in your word.Thank you for giving me the gift of the Holy Spirit.Loving heavenly Father I adore and praise you.I worship you in the mighty name of Jesus.Amen. "

Since you have committed your life to Jesus,believe that he has come in your heart.he is with you and will be with you always.Keep on reading the new testament book from John's gospel daily and after reading one or two chapters meditate on the same for few minutes and give thanks.He will fill your heart with peace,joy and happiness.He will change your life totally and make you altogether a new person.Hallelujah.God bless you.
