Inner Joy: Your I AM Identity

1 Thessalonians 2:20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Thessalonians 2 in context

Scripture Focus

20For ye are our glory and joy.
1 Thessalonians 2:20

Biblical Context

Paul states that the Thessalonians are his glory and joy, the living fruit of his ministry and his deepest delight.

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, the verse is your mirror: ye are our glory and joy. See that what Paul called glory and joy in those he served is not theirs alone, but the inward state you have assumed. The Thessalonians are the outward fruits of your inner conviction; their faith, unity, and love become the visible proof that your I AM has awakened to its own magnificence. When you accept that you are the source of all praise and uplift, you turn every soul you encounter into a jewel held by your inner light. Your labor is not for an audience apart from you; it is the living demonstration of your own awareness, made manifest as joy in others. So revise any sense of lack, dwell in the assurance that you are the cause of their gladness, and let your heart rest in the truth that your inner world flourishes when you recognize others as your own glory.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and revise, 'I AM the source of all glory and joy in my life; these souls are my own joy.' Feel this as real and imagine a scene where their smiles reflect your inner light.
