Do not be Sad or Afraid

In a city, lived a boy with his parent and his grandparents used to live far away in another city. Parents would take their son to his grandparents’ house during summer holiday, every year. They would stay there for 15 to 20 days and then return. Boy loved his stay there. This continued every year.

With time, boy grew up. One day, young boy said to his parents, “Now, I am big. I can go to grandparents’ house alone. So, please let me go by myself. Parents did not agree at first but when boy insisted, they agree. But parents were worried about his safely, so they taught me everything he needed to know to travel alone.

Day came when boy was to leave for his grandparents’ house alone. Parents came with buy to see him off, when boy was comfortably stetted at his berth in train his parents came out, waiting for train to depart. Where waiting, father went to window and kept taking to son, while taking his father handed him a envelop from window and said, “Son, if you feel afraid or scared on way, open this and read it. I will help to calm down. Boy kept that envelope in his pocket carefully and said good bye to his parents.

Announcement was made for train to deport. Boy smiled and told his father, “I remember everything, do not worry. Train got signal to depart. At every station where train stopped, people kept coming and going. Boy was seeing all this, he saw that everyone was with someone and soon stated feeling lonely. At one station, a big man entered compartment. Boy who was traveling alone for first time, got scared seeing that man. He tried to sleep but again thinking about that man, he got scared.

Then he remembered about his father’s letter. He put his hand in pocket and he opened that envelop and read. Father had written, “Do not be afraid. I am her with you in the train, in adjacent compartment.” Just after reading that letter, body face lit up and all fear vanished.

Life is like that too when God sent us to this world, he has also given us letter in which it is written, “Do not be sad or afraid. I am with you every moment, everywhere. I take the whole journey with you, only you keep remembering me. Remember one sincerely I will come in a moment.

Do not worry. Do not panic. Do not be discourage. Have faith in God every moment.  He is always with us throughout our journey, till the last breath. Just keep trying to maintain this one feeling. Leave everything to that God without whose permission not even a leaf can move.
