A friend sent me this new version of FOOTPRINTS the other day. I thought it was great, so I'd like to share it here, a bit condensed and edited ala swenson.
Imagine you and the Lord Jesus walking down the road together. For much of the way, the Lord's footprints go along steadily and consistently. But your footprints are a disorganized stream of zigzags, starts, stops, turnarounds, and circles. It goes on like this, but gradually your footprints come more in line with the Lords, soon paralleling His consistently. You are walking together. This is good, but then an interesting thing happens. Your footprints, that once etched the sand next to Jesus', are now walking precisely in His steps. Inside His larger footprints are your smaller ones. You are walking as one. What a blessing! This goes on for a long time, but suddenly the second set of footprints is back. This time it is even crazier! Zigzags all over the place! What happened?
I like to give the explanation as it could pertain to Sara. In the first scene, with all the zigzags by the Lord's footsteps, Sara was a new Christian, just learning. As she walked on, the Lord helped her learn to walk with Him. When her smaller footprints were inside of His larger ones she was actually walking in His steps, totally trusting Him. So what happened when the footprints separated again? Well. . . now they're DANCING!
