“There is no place for selfishness and no place for fear! Do not be afraid, then, when love makes demands. Do not be afraid when love requires sacrifice.”

Pope John Paul II

Simplified Meaning:

When you truly care about someone, you should not think only about yourself. For example, if a friend needs help moving to a new house, you should be willing to help them even if it takes up your time. Love sometimes asks us to do things that are difficult or take a lot of effort, like caring for a sick family member. It can be scary to make sacrifices, like giving up something you want so that someone else can be happy. But in the end, these sacrifices show how much you truly love and value the other person. So don't let fear stop you from doing what love requires; facing these challenges is part of real, selfless love.
