Have you ever tried talking to someone while just staring at their ear? Or their forehead? It’ll drive you (and probably them) crazy. When we interact, half the communication is in subtle emotion. We can tell emotion by the eyes. The poets pen tells of still blue pools that calm, or raging fires of terror… all within ones eyes.

Children, when first born, always have the brightest eyes. I’ve seen a phenomenon though, generally around the adolescent and even early twenties where I am, where the eyes seem to darken. It’s not a completely physical transformation though.

Jesus said… “Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eye is unclouded, your whole body is full of light. But when your eye is evil, your body is full of darkness. So be careful that the light in you isn’t darkness. If your whole body is full of light, and not darkness, it will be as bright as a lamp shining on you.”

He would also say, that satan comes as an angel of manufactured illumination with the intent to kill.  

May your eyes, child, reflect the beautiful and pure brightness of the Son.
