<\/h2>\n<\/h2>\nMichael came from a poor family, while his girlfriend, Clara, came from one of the richest families in town.<\/p>\n
Clara’s parents disliked Michael because he had no expensive car, no large house, and no wealthy relatives.<\/p>\n
One evening, Clara’s father asked Michael an uncomfortable question.<\/p>\n
\u201cHow much money do you have?\u201d<\/p>\n
Michael answered honestly.<\/p>\n
\u201cVery little.\u201d<\/p>\n
Her father laughed.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou cannot support my daughter.\u201d<\/p>\n
Michael did not become angry.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou may be right today,\u201d he said. \u201cBut I will never promise her a life I cannot provide. I can only promise to work hard and remain faithful.\u201d<\/p>\n
Clara’s father still refused to accept him.<\/p>\n
Michael began working two jobs. During the day, he repaired electrical equipment. At night, he delivered food.<\/p>\n
Clara wanted to help financially, but Michael refused.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want your love,\u201d he told her. \u201cI don’t want to depend on your family’s money.\u201d<\/p>\n
After several years, Michael saved enough to open a small electrical repair business.<\/p>\n
The business grew.<\/p>\n
One afternoon, Clara’s father visited the shop.<\/p>\n
He watched Michael treat an elderly customer with respect even though she could barely afford the repair.<\/p>\n
The father finally understood.<\/p>\n
Michael had not changed because he became successful.<\/p>\n
He had succeeded because he had always been responsible.<\/p>\n
He apologized to Michael.<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought money made a man valuable.\u201d<\/p>\n
Michael smiled.<\/p>\n
\u201cMoney can make life easier. But character makes a person worthy of love.\u201d<\/p>\n
Clara and Michael eventually married.<\/p>\n
Their relationship became a reminder to both families that true love does not ask, \u201cHow much do you own?\u201d<\/p>\n
It asks, \u201cHow honestly do you love?\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
