God may allow us to meet wrong people before the right one so we learn to appreciate them. Love means different things to different people. God sometimes gives sorrow tests or wounds the heart to impart wisdom. If love is lost, there is a reason, even if hard to understand. God takes away only to give something better. It's best to wait for the right person rather than settle, as life is too short to waste on the wrong one. Waiting serves a purpose as good things take time, like flowers blooming or Rome being built. Waiting requires faith, courage and hope but guarantees nothing, yet God asks us to wait for an essential reason.
