The Divine Footsteps

     One early morning, I was on my way home from walking my mother to work.  It was still sort of

dark out.  I walked down a quite little street and heard footsteps behind me.  I started to get a little

nervous.  The footsteps started to get loud.  I was afraid to turn around and the footsteps were louder,

as if someone was going to attack me!  I tried to walk faster, but the footsteps were right on my heels!

I started to scream, but, just before I could.  A stray dog ran passed me.  I turned around and no one

was there.  I was relieved and said, 'thank God!!'  At that moment, the Spirit of God spoke to me and 

said, 'why were you afraid?  Haven't I been with you all this time?  The footsteps you heard 

behind you were mine, not the stray dog's.  You do not ever have to be afraid because you are

never alone.  My Angels are camped around you twenty-four hours a day.'  From that day on, I

was never afraid of anything.
