St. Nicholas Serbian. (№ 449505)

During the war, a fearful soldier was sent on reconnaissance. Everyone knew his timidity and laughed when they found out where the foreman was sending him. Only one soldier did not laugh. He approached his comrade to support and encourage him. But he answered him: “I will die, the enemy is very close!” - "Do not be afraid, brother: the Lord is even closer," the good comrade answered him. And these words, like a big bell, rang in the soul of that soldier, and they rang until the end of the war. And now the once timid soldier returned from the war, awarded many orders for bravery. So his good word transformed him: “Do not be afraid: the Lord is even closer!”
