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 havenoticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand and why when I needed you most you would leave me."
The Lord replied," My precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you."
Today's post will be a little different, I want to share what I learned from church yesterday.
I had the honour of listening to Rev. Dr. A.R. Bernard preaching yesterday, he is one of the most influential man in the US. Its no wonder why I am being influenced too.
I was very sleepy when he first started out his preaching, but by the end I was so interested in what he was speaking that I was at the edge of my chairs. He spoke about how Jesus's disciples didnt have the capacity to understand Jesus at all, which was really funny, he spoke about the holy spirit. His preaching was God sent, every single questioned, every single doubt I asked Carolyn before church was answered.
" Christianity and other religions have nothing wrong, but one thing that set us apart from the other religions is that Buddhist believes that buddha is dead, the jews believes that Moses is dead, the muslims believes that Muhammed is dead, but we christians believes that Jesus is alive, we believe in a living person!" This is one thing he said that woke me up and its like the lightbulb effect where you finally understand something.
Yes, we believe in a living person, a person who walks with us as long as we accept him. We are not bound by laws and rules like other religion. Another thing I learn is that the disciples were told by Jesus that when the holy spirits comes, they will recieve power and be witness, for they will be power.
It was really an enlightening experience yesterday, and I can't wait to learn more about Jesus.
