Good Morning,
I have been meditating on the words of a song and also these same words are found in the Song of Solomon. Listen with your heart to these verses.
S.O S.1:15; "Behold you are fair, my love; behold you are fair; you have dove's eyes." "Behold you are fair, my love; behold you are fair; you have dove's eyes within your locks:…" (S.O.S.4:1) Then it appears again in S.O.S.2:14; "{So I went with him, and when we were climbing the rocky steps up the hillside, my beloved shepherd said to me} O my dove, {while you are here} in the seclusion of the clefts of the solid rock,
in the sheltered and secret place of the cliff, let me see your face,
let me hear your voice; for your voice is sweet and your face is
lovely."
in the sheltered and secret place of the cliff, let me see your face,
let me hear your voice; for your voice is sweet and your face is
lovely."
My meditation was on the words 'dove's eyes and dove'. It
is interesting to note that dove's mate for life. They are faithful to
one another. Their mating is symbolized as one of warmth. Doves are
gentle and meek. That is why we typify them as a symbol of peace. Interestingly enough the Word of God portrays the Holy Spirit as a dove. (Mtt. 3:16; Mk. 11:15; Lk. 3:22; Jn.1:32); (because Holy Spirit is meek, gentle, faithful and single-eyed) The
dove's eyes represent having undistracted vision. Single-eyedness,
nothing else enters the eye gate, but what it is looking upon.

As we keep a
single-eyedness toward our Lover of our soul, it is easier to ascend up
the steep and narrow places of life. Only those that have undistracted
vision, keeping their gaze fixed on the Lover of their soul will be
able to come up into the high places of God. Having a single-eyedness
also causes your ears to become sensitive to His voice alone. You know,
"My sheep hear My voice, and I know them and they follow Me." (Jn.10: 27) Also, having an undistracted vision and single-eyedness makes for peace. Notice the verse that follows S.O.S. 2:14, verse 15, it says, "Catch all the foxes, the little foxes that ruin the vineyard." In
order to keep those foxes out of our vineyard, we would do well to
train our eyes to become single. All of the little foxes are everything
in our lives that distract and keep our eyes upon them. No matter
what it is, big or small. They are burrowers that try to dig deep and
get our eye off of the Lord of our soul. From inner issues to outer
issues. Our promise is, "You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You." (Is. 26:3) Our Lord is working to keep our eyes of love faithfully looking unto him. Remember and think on these Words this week; "Now
I say this to your own welfare and profit, not to put a [halter of}
restraint upon you, but to promote what is seemly and in good order and
to secure your undistracted and undivided devotion to the Lord."
"Looking away [from all that will distract us] to Jesus, Who is the Leader and the source of our faith…" (I Corin. 7:35; Hebrews 12:2)

Now listen to this: "The light of the body is the eye; therefore when your eye is single, your whole body also is full of light.." ( Lk.11:34)
You and I owe it to our new life in Christ to become single-eyed and to
become undistracted in our faithful love to the Lover of our soul.
Listen to how it delights our Lord. S.O.S. 4:9; "You have ravished My heart, my sister, my spouse; you have ravished My heart with one of your eyes..

Ravished means to transport with love, joy and delight. To carry away as into another state. Every
time we stay single-eyed we transport our Lord with our love into great
delights and joys. Let's focus our dove's eyes on Him at all times.
