Scripture Focus

4Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

1 Corinthians 13:4-6

Biblical Context

Love endures, is kind, and does not envy or boast; it does not seek its own, is not easily provoked, and rejoices in truth rather than evil.

Neville's Inner Vision

Charity is not a performative habit but the state you dwell in within the I AM. When you affirm I am charity, you stop fighting others and begin reflecting your own divine light. Envy cannot live in a mind that knows its wholeness; boasting dissolves in gratitude for what is, since love does not compete. The long-suffering and kindness you profess arise as the natural movement of awareness that esteems truth above appearances. This charity does not seek its own; it recognizes that every image outside is a symbol of your interior conviction. Rejoicing in truth, not in wrongdoing, becomes your inner standard and your outer life will follow. Remember, your world is rearranged by the reshaping of your consciousness; the conditions you see are the echoes of your inner assumption. If you persist in the felt sense of patient, unselfish love, you align with the truth of your true nature and begin to witness the world transformed by it.

Practice This Now

Assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled: I am charity in action, patient, kind, and unprovoked. Sit with that conviction until it becomes your present sense of self.
