Inner Patience of 1 Peter 2:23

Neville's Inner Vision

Within your consciousness, Peter's words describe a state that does not rise to offence but remains still where the I AM dwells. When reviled, the state does not retaliate; when afflicted, it does not threaten, for it has surrendered the experience to the higher law within, the judge who never errs. In Neville's terms, you are not at the mercy of others' words but the operant perception you entertain. You are the one who chooses how to respond by choosing the inner stance. When confronted with insult, you do not defend a self-image; you return to the assumption that the inner judge is always right, and that the situation will resolve according to divine, not personal, judgment. Trust grows as you actively feel the I AM filling the scene, making it clear that you are the one who creates your reality by your inner state. This is faith that endures—perseverance rooted in the conviction that your inner state creates the outer world. Let the external scene whisper its verdict while you silently acknowledge the inner decree that justice is already done in your consciousness.
