Sometimes God lets you date the wrong person - not to punish you, but to prepare you.
He lets you see what love is not, so you'll recognize what it is. He lets you feel the weight of compromise, so you'll value alignment. He lets you taste heartbreak, so you'll learn dependence on Him. The wrong person can still point you to the right lessons. #relatable #christiantiktok
