Footprints
Imagine you and Jesus walking down the road together. Jesus’ footprints go along steadily, consistently, rarely varying his pace.
But, your footprints are a disorganized stream of zigzags, starts, stops, turnarounds, circles, departures, and returns.
For much of the way, it seems to go like this, but gradually your footprints come more in line with the Jesus’, soon paralleling His consistently.
You and Jesus are walking as true friends!
This seems perfect, but then an interesting thing happens: Your footprints, once etched the sand next to Jesus', now walk precisely in His steps.
Inside His larger footprints are your smaller ones, you and Jesus become one.
This goes on for many miles, but gradually you notice another change. The footprints inside the large footprints seem to grow larger.
Eventually they disappear altogether. There is only one set of footprints.
This goes on for a long time, but suddenly, the second set of footprints is back. This time it seems even worse: zigzags all over the place, stops, starts, gashes in the sand, a variable mess of prints.
You are amazed and shocked.
You pray: "Jesus, I understand the first scene, with zigzags and fits. I was a new Christian; I was just learning. But, You walked on through the storm and helped me learn to walk with You."
"That is correct."
"And when the smaller footprints were within Yours, I was actually learning to walk in Your steps, following You closely."
"Very good. You have understood everything so far."
When the smaller footprints grew and filled in Yours, I suppose that I was becoming like You in every way."
"Precisely."
"So, Jesus, was there a regression or something? The footprints separated, intertwined and separated again, more disorganized than before."
There is a pause as the Lord answers, with a smile in His voice,
"You didn't know? It was then that we danced!"
