Ever felt like God left you alone during life’s hardest moments? What if I told you He’s not only carrying you—but also calling you to be His love in someone else’s journey?

Life isn’t meant to be walked alone. In the classic story of the ‘Footprints in the Sand,’ God carries us when the path gets heavy. But what if the footprints never truly disappear? What if God intentionally sends people to walk with us, and calls us to walk with others too?

In this video, I share how God’s love multiplies through intentional discipleship, mentorship, and simple acts of encouragement. You’ll learn how every step you take can leave a trail of hope, guidance, and light for someone else.

Key Takeaways:
God is with you every step of the way, even when life feels heavy.
Your life can be a set of footprints that reflect God’s love to others.
Intentional discipleship transforms both your life and the lives around you.

Comment below: Who is one person God has placed in your life that you can walk with today?

00:00So today, I want to share with you a story that has touched countless hearts over the years.
00:06So you may have heard this before, and this is the story about the footprints in the sand.
00:11And it goes like this, at the start of life's journey, there are two sets of footprints in the sand.
00:18One is yours, and the other is God.
00:20But as you continue walking, you notice that at some point, there's only one set of footprints.
00:27And that's when the person cries out, Lord, I think I'm going to be with you.
00:32Why is it just one set of footprints that I can see? Why did you leave me alone?
00:38And God answers with these beautiful and powerful words.
00:42What he said, it was when I carried you.
00:47You know, brothers, this story reminds us God is with us not just at the beginning or the end,
00:54but every true trial, every heartbreak, and every moment of joy.
01:01Hi, this is Brother Arjen. Welcome to our OBM of the Week.
01:06So the classic story, it's so simple, right? But it's so powerful.
01:11It tells us that even when we feel abandoned, even when life gets heavy,
01:17and we think God has left us behind, He hasn't.
01:22He carried us. But here's the thing.
01:25What if, just what if, the story isn't quite finished?
01:29What if God's presence in our lives isn't just about carrying us?
01:35What if He also invites others to walk with us along the way?
01:41Think about that for a moment.
01:44Imagine, I want you to imagine this.
01:46Instead of one set of footprints suddenly disappearing,
01:51you start seeing more and more set of footprints along the way.
01:57It only means that other people are coming in like friends, mentors, colleagues, family, believers,
02:05people that God sent to walk alongside you.
02:11This isn't just a feel-good idea.
02:15It's how God's love works.
02:17His love, it flows through us, to others, creating path of shared support, encouragement, and growth.
02:27So, here's my twist on this classic story.
02:31The footprints never really become just one set.
02:35You know what? Instead, they multiply.
02:38And that is intentional.
02:39Why? Because God wants us to journey with others.
02:44When we mentor someone, when we encourage someone,
02:48or just walk beside someone in life's struggles,
02:51we become part of God's footprints.
02:55Think about it.
02:57When you guide someone closer to God,
02:59when you share a story,
03:01when you pray for someone and show up for them,
03:04you are creating a pathway of love.
03:08You are walking God's love into their lives.
03:13This, my dear brothers and sisters,
03:16is discipleship in action.
03:19And discipleship doesn't have to be complicated.
03:23It can be as simple as what?
03:25Sending a message of encouragement,
03:27praying consistently for someone,
03:29spending time and listening without judgment,
03:32sharing a lesson you've learned from your faith.
03:35Every small step you take with someone else
03:39is a set of footprints in the sand,
03:43reflecting God's love.
03:45And if this is resonating you,
03:47my dear brothers and sisters,
03:49here's something simple you can do right now.
03:52Can I invite you to follow,
03:54subscribe,
03:54or share this video?
03:56Why?
03:56Because when you do,
03:58you're joining a community of people
04:00who are intentional about walking in God's love.
04:03And that ripple effect can reach so many lives.
04:08Amen?
04:08Thank you very much for sharing.
04:11Thank you very much for your support.
04:12So let's continue.
04:14Life is not meant to be lived alone.
04:19Even Jesus didn't go alone.
04:20He surrounded himself with disciples,
04:24people to learn from,
04:26people to journey with,
04:28people to love and guide.
04:30When we embrace this,
04:33life's challenges becomes lighter,
04:36our joys become sweeter,
04:38and our spiritual growth becomes richer
04:41because it is shared.
04:44Imagine a world where every believer
04:48intentionally invested
04:49in someone else's walk with God.
04:53The times when we feel carried alone,
04:57the heavy lonely stretches
04:58could instead become a path
05:02filled with God's love,
05:04reflected through the people
05:06He places around us.
05:08My dear brothers and sisters,

05:12to multiply footprints,
05:14to be God's love
