Once there was an idiot. He was such an idiot that he could not get a girlfriend. He was very distressed as he felt very lonely. And he prayed hard to G-d to allow him to find a good girlfriend whom he will be able to love and care for and give to.
He wasn't so confident that G-d has heard his prayer, as years gone by while he was still alone. The more he waited, the sadder he became. So depressed had this little idiot became that he started torturing himself to get the emotional pain out of his head while he is occupied with the physical pain.
One day, out of the blue, a lovely lady came into his live. And right that moment he saw, he saw that G-d has finally arranged for him. He was so excited that he did all he could to make the lady happy. He tried all the means he knew of to let the lady know that he loved her. The lady happily accepted the approach of this poor idiot. And the idiot felt happiness he never felt before. And he thanked G-d for it.
Then an angel of the L-rd came to this man. He said to him, "You are not matured enough and you have no money to support her. She is not the one for you. When your time come, you will be provided for. Trust in the L-rd."
Upon hearing this news from an angel of the L-rd, this poor idiot felt his world collapse. He didn't know what to do. He thought the lady loved him as she was very friendly and open to him. He wanted to love this adorable lady. He wanted to love and be loved in return.
That night, he prayed hard to G-d again, saying, "I love her, my L-rd. I pray to You to make her the one for me. I want to love and I want to be loved. Please help me!" He didn't know what G-d has planned for him but he knew he must still move on with his life.
Seeing that the sweet lady was still happy, he thought maybe the angel's prediction was not accurate. He thought he could change a prophecy from an angel, as only G-d has the final say in anything that happens. Thus he continued his pursue to win the lady's heart.
Out of a sudden, the lady didn't like him anymore. She started rejecting him and making him feel awful by disapproving him. She said he wasn't mature enough for her. He was devastated by this unexpected change. He thought to himself, "Have I wrongly judged a class C lady as a class A lady?"
He brood long and hard on the issue. Why o why, has the L-rd given me a taste of love and then took it from me? Then he finally decided that G-d wanted him to learn. Learn to love as a husband should love his wife.
There, he continued to try to win the heart of the lady as he truly loved her. Yet she rejected him and said hurtful words to him. There, he saw that the words of the angel had came true. He has nothing to grumble nor complain. He decided to let go and move on.
Several months after that, he didn't even contact the lady and he almost forgot her. Almost. Until one day, she initiated a contact again. Suddenly, he was in love again, and this time, she was in love too. And they got together.
The idiot's friend came up and told him, "You have changed. You are more mature now. And she has changed too as I thought you are with another lady." There, the idiot recalled the angel's word. You are not matured enough. That is one of the criteria for a successful relationship and G-d has provided the training to make him more mature. And he recalled his prayer to G-d to make her the one for him. Thus the L-rd trained her as well and made them a fitful couple.
The idiot cried when he realized this. Now he could be sure that G-d is all-loving and provides for all. He was awed and touched by the L-rd's personal involvement in making his life complete. Halleluyah! Halleluyah! Halleluyah! (meaning: Praise the L-rd!)
