“A friend loves at all times, And a brother is born for adversity." - Proverbs 17:17
Recently I and my wife
celebrated our daughter’s first birthday. For some personal reasons we had
decided not to celebrate it in a grand manner. Our parents were with us during
that day and so we have not invited anyone else.
On the day of birthday
as I was returning home from my workplace I got a call from my eldest brother
who is nearly 7 years elder to me. He conveyed his wishes to my daughter and
then immediately he asked sorry for he said he could not come and attend the
function as he had some important official work.
I was stunned when he
asked sorry. I knew I was the one who should ask sorry for not inviting him.
But yet he felt sorry that he could not attend though I had not invited him.
On the same night when
I was talking to my another brother he said that he had prayed for my daughter
along with his wife and also alone.
When I talked with
both of my brothers I realized that they didn’t expect me to invite but yet
they wanted to come on their own love they have upon me. Our parents had taught
us to be together at all times staying united without having any personal egos.
My eldest brother has
every rights to ask me why I have not invited him but yet he had not done that
instead he voluntarily asked sorry for not attending the function.
Many a times in our
life we put our personal egos forward in someone’s relationship and as a result
we fail to understand the love we have upon them or the love they have upon us.
Finally that relationship will end in disaster.
Bible says that a
friend will love at all times. You should learn to love others at all times.
Sometimes your loved
one might have failed to wish you on an important day. Sometimes they might
have forget that day also. Sometimes they might not have presented a gift to
you or a gift according to your desire. Because of that you should not show
your anger and frustration upon them. You should love them unconditionally.
My brother’s word
touched me and it increased the respect that I have upon him. Touch someone’s
life through your unconditional love. Accept your loved ones mistake and
forgive them. Do not put your personal ego in a wonderful relationship and
destroy it.
