I am in the next compartment

I am in the next compartment

Every year young Kabeer's Parents took him to his Grandmother's house for summer break & they would return home on same train after two weeks.

One day Kabeer said ′′I'm grown up now, What if I go to Grandma's house alone this year ?"

After a brief discussion parents agree.

Next week they are standing on the train station, giving him one last tip through the window, as Kabeer 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.

The boy is all alone, sitting on the train, without his parents, for the first time.He looks at the scenery through the window, around him strangers hustle, make noise, enter & exit the compartment, he gets that feeling that he is alone.

Now he starts getting scared. His stomach starts hurting & 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, 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 :

Son, don't worry, I am in the next compartment...

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

Reflection 

This is how, it is in life...

When God sent us in this world, all by ourselves,

HE has 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 & mental health.

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

Trust God, have faith in the All-Mighty, our GOD IS ALWAYS WITH US, throughout our journey.
