When the lover says the bride's eyes "have overcome me," commentators explain this isn't a sign of weakness, but of love's profound power. Scholars offer various translations like "they have strengthened me," "made me proud," or "made me fiercer with love." This illustrates that a believer's gaze of faith and love is not passive; it deeply affects and delights the heart of Christ, who willingly allows Himself to be "conquered" by our devotion.
