He turned to Christ and said, “There is something I don’t understand. Why is it that down the hills and over the smooth and easy places you have walked by my side; but, here over the tough and difficult places, I have walked alone; for I see in those areas there is just one set of footprints.” Hotlines – USA, Canada & WorldwideNote: CIR does not endorse or recommend any of the following.
