Footprints in the Sand

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 have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life
there have only been one set of footprints in the sand.
Why, when I needed you most, you have not been there for me?”
The Lord replied, “The times when you have seen only one set of footprints in the sand, is when I carried you.”

This poem reminded me of the Lord when he's always been carrying me in times when i've been through everything. Through it all. He has helped me.

I'm single and i'm lonely. Why do i look to humanly figures? Why do i not look to God instead? Isn't the Lord calling me? He is. The Holy Spirit is leading the way. But, sadly, i'm not following. Why is this so?

We all dwell on the earthly riches. Have we forgotten about the riches that the Lord our God has in store for us in Heaven? He's waiting for me in open arms... I'm ashamed to look at Him.

Why do we humans fail in some of the things that we do? I suppose it's because we do not pray nor do we listen to what he says. Life can be very hectic. But do we spend just a few minutes with Him?

I was very heart broken last night. After switching off my pc, i laid down on my bed. I felt so much like crying. i had lost the other half of my heart. The person who took it away isn't going to return my heart back to me anymore. Nor can i have his heart to fill it in my place. God touched me. I prayed to the Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit, Cover me. Lead me, Guide me, Use me, Mould me. I've fallen short from the glory of God. I need God badly in my life. Even if i have his heart or he returns me my heart, it would still be empty... It's not empty, but, to a certain extent, i do not see why it's full. The Holy Spirit is there but i'm not seeing him. I'm not paying attention to it, therefore, i deem it as the empty space.

All of us need God. The Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. Are you still pulling back? Are we doing things according to our own will? Are we depending on God? Are we consulting God? Are we listening to him? Are we even giving him the precious time to communicate with us? Are we having communion with God?

Jesus, Come into my Life once again. I need You. I want to spend time with You. I want to cherish every moment with You. Lord, i have chucked you aside for a long time. I've not been consulting you. I've been doing things on my own will and not praying and waiting for your answer.

I'm sorry Father Lord. I gladly and proudly call you My Daddy God. My Father God.

I LOVE YOU DADDY GOD! I LOVE YOU ABBA FATHER!

I'm Blessed. And so are you, who is reading this blog now. No matter what your religion is, MY DADDY GOD LOVES YOU!

Blessed!
