Lord, am I one of Your spiritual virgins? What is a spiritual virgin? One who “follow[s] the Lamb wherever He goes” (Revelation 14:4). As in the physical sense, a spiritual virgin is one who is utterly and completely given to the one for whom he or she is intended. The spiritual virgin not only has known no other, but longs for and desires no other. He is a firstfruit and is blameless in his loyalty to his one Master.
I am aware, Lord, that spiritual virginity is a spiritual quality that You greatly desire in all Your people. It has nothing to do with salvation because, in that case, who among us could be saved? Nor does it have to do with service, for the Bible is full of men and women who did exploits in the name of their God who, nevertheless, showed the human weaknesses of sin and disobedience (David, for example).
A virgin is not a representative of a certain class of elite, but the one who manifests a quality of spiritual devotion to God that He finds enormously pleasing and delightful. Too often God has to deal with us as Hosea dealt with Gomer, his unfaithful wife. God graciously forgives our unfaithfulness, brings us back home, and restores us to His service. How comforted I am by Your mercy, O God! Lord, I covet spiritual virginity, the quality of devotion that never flags, tires, deviates, or adulterates. My example in this is He who never faltered or hesitated but who in all things did Your will and followed Your way perfectly. He who has planted His virgin life in me will propel me in the virgin way.
“Who may ascend into the bill of the Lord? And who may stand in His holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood, and has not sworn deceitfully” (Psalm 24:3–4).
