Story: Christ is with you always

[Nikolas222]

Heard this one at church. Edited it a little and typed it.

CHRIST IS WITH YOU ALWAYS​

There was a man. His name is not known, so we’ll call him Michael. He had lived on a beach all his life as a fisherman but one day he felt sick and died.

He had died and went up to heaven. He walked upon the beautiful beaches and Christ was walking with him.

Michael said “There are two sets of footprints that follow us. Yours and mine.”

Jesus replied “Yes. I am with you always.”

Michael said “But if you are always with me, when I walked upon the beaches of the Mediterranean when I died, there was only one set of footprints that followed me. They were mine.”

Jesus replied “No, they were Mine. I carried you on My shoulder into paradise.”

Hope you liked it

nevermind, found it.

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."

I only edited it to make it more understandable, it was somewhat incomplete and since i learned this verbally so i couldnt exactly remember the whole thing. I didnt try to change it to my own version, i just tried to clarify it.
