title: footprints in the sand.
Date: Wednesday, August 5, 2009
You walked with me, footprints in the sand
And helped me understand where I'm going
You walked with me when I was all alone
With so much I know along the way
Then I heard you say
I promise you, I'm always there
When your heart is filled with sorrow and despair
I'll carry you when you need a friend
You'll find my footprints in the sand
This song was in my Leona Lewis album since the day i bought it. I had never really bothered to listen to it as the title sounded rather boring, until one day, my church leader mentioned a story about footprints in the sand. That was when it struck me that there was a song called 'Footprints In the Sand'. When I got home, I plugged in my iPod and listened to it, and found out that Leona Lewis was actually singing about how God had been with her throughout her tough times.
The footprints in the sand story goes like this : One day, a man was looking back on his life. He walked on the beach and saw that there were always two pairs of footprints. Then he came to the tough times, and he saw that there was only one pair of footprints. He asked God "God, why are there only one set of footprints? Was I walking alone?" Then God replied, "No, my son. You were not. When you couldn't take it anymore, I carried you."
This song speaks of how God promises us that he will never leave us nor forsake us. When we go through trials, God will always be there to guide us. We'll never walk alone. God will always be there for us, like a true friend, or more like truer than a true friend. When we can't take it anymore, we can give it all to God, and he will help us.
Sometimes, when we feel sad, lost, unbelonged or any negative feeling, we can always look to God. He is always there, ever ready to walk with us. In fact, he delights when we confide in him. He loves us more than anyone else does. More than you love yourself. If he could even die for us, what makes you think he won't be there for us? God is really a faithful God. Just experience it yourself.
