Falling in love before the appropriate time may bring pain, heartbreak
and regret. In order to win, we may have
to woo and wait.

You can only appreciate a flower if you give it time to
bloom. At the appropriate time, its petals will unfold, revealing the fullness
of its beauty. To force it to open at the budding stage is useless and counterproductive.
So it is with love. Trying to hasten the pace of love and courtship
in one’s eagerness to hear the peal of wedding bells might bring pain and
regret.
Isn’t this why the Bible reminds us over and over again not
to awaken love until the time is right? (Song of Songs 2:7, 3:5, 8:4).
In order to win, we
have to woo and wait.
