Why dove’s eyes?
A dove’s eyes are sharp and piercing. They’re laser-focused. But the most interesting of all – they have no peripheral vision. Their focus is on one object. Dove’s eyes have fixed field focus; they can only focus on one thing at a time. Once they find a mate, a love, their eyes are solely fixed on him. Once a dove sees something that captures its attention, its eyes are trained on that object. It is undistracted from its focal point.
Laser vision.
Fixed on him.
However, this love story isn’t one way.
This love story is reciprocal.
Jesus’ love is laser-focused on us.
We’re to be laser-focused on Him.
His focus is not on our surroundings or circumstances.
His focus is on you.
You.
His focus is on who He’s called you to be.
On who He said that you are.
His focus is on His beloved.
You are His beloved.
He doesn’t sway.
He doesn’t change His mind.
His love isn’t fractured or conditional.
He loves you.
He loves you passionately.
He wants to care for and comfort you.
He wants to heal and provide for you.
He loves you so much that He died to retrieve you.

Therefore, shouldn’t our eyes be that of a dove towards him? I will not look to the right or the left. My eyes are fixed on Him.
No matter what goes on in this world around us, we stay focused on HIM.
To be so fixed on Him that nothing around me matters.
Not politics.
Not US politics.
Not foreign politics.
Not an economic crash.
Not the news.
Not a feed full of fear.
Not divisive posts.
Not the whispering of the enemy.
None of it.
He has me.
He adores me.
He calls me His beloved.
He abides.
I remain.
His eyes are fixed on me.
My eyes are fixed on Him.
I am My Beloved’s, and My Beloved is mine.
And He calls me by my name.
