Matthew 25:1-3
1 “At that time, the kingdom from heaven will be comparable to ten virgins who took their oil lamps and went out to meet the groom.
2 Now five of them were foolish, and five were wise,
3 because when the foolish ones took their lamps, they didn’t take any oil with them.
Virginity is great but if that’s the only thing you have going on for you, you will suffer great disappointment in your dating life. Here are a few reasons why virgins usually have great heartaches in relationships:
1. Thinking that virginity is the most important thing you have and not minding to have anything added to it is the major reason why most virgins get into disappointing relationships. Look at the scripture above, there were 10 virgins of which 5 carried excess oil and 5 only carried little oil to meet the man whom they wanted to see. Now most virgins dream of meeting that Good partner but the problem most of them have is that they don’t prepare enough during the waiting period. Beloved virgin, your virginity is a blessing but that doesn’t mean it’s the only trophy you should have in your life. Good partners look for more things such as your communication skills, your thinking capacity, your ability to be innovative etc stop being like the unwise virgins who didn’t carry enough resources to meet the man they were waiting for. Add value to your life.
2. Don’t ever think you are the only virgin. It’s a common misconception of virgins to think they are very rare and very special and hence possess a lazy nature of not adding value to their lives. Notice that the virgins who went to meet the groom were 10. If you think you are the only one, you will be relaxed in trying to make yourself a better person for the partner you shall have. Elijah also thought that he was the only person serving God,
1Kings 18:22
Elijah said to them: “I am the only prophet of the LORD who is left, bal has 450 prophets
But God doesn’t like such mentality. He doesn’t like it because people who place themselves in the “I’M THE ONLY ONE GROUP” tend to think that they are very special and deserve a certain form of treatment.
God responded to Elijah saying
1 Kings 19:18
Nevertheless, I’ve reserved 7,000 in Israel who have neither bowed their knees to Baal nor kissed him.”
3. Virgins usually fail to learn from other’s(virgins and non virgins especially!) . They don’t want to learn life lessons from those who have failed, are doing better than them and have things they don’t have yet like Good relationships. You see those 5 unwise virgins saw that their friends carried more oil but instead of also going to get some more, they were content with what they have because like most virgins today, they didn’t think of what would happen if the groom delayed. They didn’t want to force themselves to plan all out and prepare themselves effectively. That’s how most virgins are today, they don’t plan, they don’t learn even from those who have made mistakes and guess what happens? They end up making the same mistakes that if they learnt even from fellow virgins and even non virgins, would never have made.
