“Rightly do they love you.”
– Song of Songs 1:4
What marks a virgin is that she loves the Lord
rightly, meaning her love is without any other wish,
expectation, or condition. Thus, a true virgin follows
the Lord without any condition, serves the Lord
without any condition, and lives in fellowship with
the Lord without any condition.
To her, joy cannot replace the Lord Himself; even
the Lord’s very presence cannot replace the Lord
Himself. Such a virgin is so obedient to love the Lord
that she has no request for anything. Besides the
Lord, she desires nothing else, and she loves nothing
else.
Adapted from The Song of Songs: A Divine Romance,
by Titus Chu, pages 30-31.
