Helpers of Your Joy and Faith

Neville's Inner Vision

Suppose you are Paul, but not a man outside; you are the I AM within, speaking softly to your own states: I call God to witness my intent to spare you any crushing move of control. In this inner theater, Corinth is a state of consciousness longing for steadfast faith. He says, I do not govern your faith; rather, I am helpers of your joy. Your faith stands by your own inner conviction, by the trust you imagine as already fulfilled. Therefore the dynamic is not rule, but service—your role is to elevate the other's sense of being, not to compel their beliefs. When you accept this, you realize that your acts are not external commands but inner revisions of feeling. By choosing to be a quiet, compassionate invitation to joy, you release the need to hurry events. The I AM in you can imagine the desired state as already present in others, and thus others’ faith is nourished by your steady, joyous presence. Your inner state becomes the very law by which reality unfolds.
