Profound love... have you found it?

Tweet

My sister just gave birth to her second child. I sacrificed my job just to be with her and my family to support them. During her delivery, I was left home taking care of her eldest child who is only two years old. The experience was too difficult but I was able to survive because I love my niece and I want to help my family. My father kept on nagging me for the money I borrowed from him. I told him to be more patient and as soon as I get enough money, I'll give him the payment. I understand his personality and he's the type who worries much for lack of money and so I prioritized him and my share in the house whenever I earn enough. I just set aside enough for my day to day need and a portion for my services. I never get to save much for my personal use. I have a friend who got a hurtful experience and I just stay beside her to let her feel my support. I did not talk much or ask her about her loss but just waited when she is ready to cry and share her grievances. I respect her feelings and I understand how she is feeling. When you love someone, you don't force yourself on them. Instead, you try your best to understand them, sacrifice much for them and give them things that can make them happy. I experienced profound love because I understood the meaning of the word by listening and reading the holy scripture. How about you? Can you share how you expressed your love to your family and friends?
