Why Fear When I am Here

Value: Faith,

Sub-Value: Confidence

Every year a young Krishna’s Parents took him to his Grandmother’s house for the summer break, and they would return home on the same train after two weeks.

Then one day Krishna tells his Parents, ′′I’m grown up now, what if I go to Grandma’s house alone this year ?”

After a brief discussion parents agree.

Here, they are standing on the train station wharf greeting him and giving him one last tip through the window, as Krishna continues to repeat:

′′ I know, you’ve already told me so many times…!”

Train is about to leave and father whispers:

′′My son, if you suddenly feel bad or scared, this is for you!…… “

And, he slips something into his pocket.

Now, the boy is all alone, sitting on the train, without his parents, for the first time…

He looks at the scenery through the window that scrolls..

Around him strangers hustle, make noise, enter and exit the compartment, it is now he starts to get the feeling that he is alone..

A person even gives him a sad look…

So this boy is feeling more uncomfortable. And now, he starts getting scared. His stomach starts hurting and heart starts to pump a little faster as if trying to match the speed of the train.

He lowers his head, snuggles in a corner of the seat, and tears rise to his eyes.

At that point he remembers his father putting something in his pocket.

With a trembling hand he seeks to grop this piece of paper, he opens it, and it reads, ” Son, don’t worry, I am in the next compartment.”

A smile ray of confidence amd an unimagined wave of hope rises in his face and with his head lifted high broad smile he is super comfortable amidst strangers.

Learning

This is how, in life too when God sent us in this world, all by ourselves, He also slipped a note in our pocket,

” I am travelling with you! ”

“So, just don’t panic, don’t be depressed, it will only affect your physical and mental health.”

In these uncertain times where the world is fighting to survive there is someone in the other compartment for you and you could be in a compartment that someone is banking on.

Trust Him, have faith in Him, our God is always with us throughout our journey.

But, remember to do good for others always!
