In the Song of Solomon, the Lord compliments His Bride, for He sees within her a quality that He intensely desires to cultivate and use.
“Behold, you are fair, my love! behold, you are fair! You have dove’s eyes.” Song of Solomon 1:15
When a dove fixes its gaze upon its mate, it is not distracted by any activities around it. Therefore, a dove is often referred to as being a “love bird,” as it has what appears to be a “single eye” toward another dove.
Our Lord complimenting us for having this “dove’s eye” indicates that we have cultivated a spiritual sensitivity that will lift us above the pulls and distractions of the earthly, so we can respond to the Lord’s presence, in obedience to His desire and purpose.
