Inner Comfort in 2 Corinthians

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice that the 'comfort' woven through this verse is not a distant rescue but the I AM within you awakening to itself. When tribulation rises, it is not punishment but a invitation to turn from external pressures toward inner awareness. The sufferings of Christ abound in you only to the extent you identify with them; yet as you refuse to cling to the image of lack, the inner Christ—your true consciousness—begins to abound in consolation. The moment you acknowledge the I AM as your only reality, you become a conduit for comfort: your outer life reflects the settled peace of your inner state, and you naturally comfort others because you have learned to dwell in the Source of all consolation. Therefore even the most fiery thoughts can be used as a cradle for a deeper assurance: that you are cherished by God, that you are the comfort you seek, and that through this inner light you impart consolation to those in distress. As you abide in this awareness, your consolation multiplies, not through externals, but through Christ within, and you find yourself more confident as a bearer of grace.
